Screciu opened the scoring in Slobozia in the 29th minute with a beautiful shot from distance, scoring only his second Superliga goal in over 200 matches. The first came in August 2023, in Craiova – UTA Arad score 3-0.

After the game, he drew conclusions, extremely happy for the result obtained and for the goal scored, also identifying the main difference from previous seasons: detachment from the main rivals.

The reaction of Vladimir Screciu, after the success in Slobozia

“A very important success. We talked before in the dressing room, it didn't matter how we played, we had to get the points, especially because Rapid had come close to us. These points were very important. That's why I shot, I tried to score.

I'm glad I made it and helped my team. I try to do my job as well as I can, that's what interests me the most. This is what matters most, to distance ourselves from our opponents. That's the difference this year from last year. These points are very important.

We have an important match against Metaloglobus, we have to take the three points at home. We treat our opponents with respect, they play in the same league as us, but we have to win. That matters most. I don't want to think about the title.

There are two more games until the end of the season, then the real battle begins. That's where the fight will take place. It's a pressure that motivates me. The boys are on the same side as me, that's why we work in training, that's why we try to win”, said Vladimir Screciu, after the match, on the microphone of “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.
