The leader of the Superliga took advantage of the wrong step of Dinamo, defeated by Rapid, and distanced himself to 4 points at the top of the ranking.
In Slobozia, in the first night match at the local “1 Mai” stadium, the blue-and-whites had no great emotions.
“I think it's a deserved win, against a team that defends well, that doesn't give you a lot of space to play. We knew we had more space on the edge.
I think we could have done better in the first half. In the second half we were more focused on what we had to do and I think we finished this match very well. It is a fair result.
Screciu's goal? It was a nice goal, all are welcome. For me, the most important thing is the team, not who scores. Now it was Screciu, last week it was another player. I'm happy when we score a lot”, said the coach from Banie, Filipe Coelho, after the match.
Filipe Coelho, compared to Mirel Rădoi: “Don't put me in this position, please”
In the championship, Coelho's average points per game is 2.25, more than Mirel Rădoi achieved in the first half of the regular season, 1.81. When this difference was brought to his attention, Coelho went into defensive mode.
“I'm not here to compare myself to the previous coach or other coaches. I'm here to do my job, I have huge respect for all coaches. I'm not here to compete with anyone, that's not my style. I'm here to help the team, nothing more. Please don't put me in this position, I'm not comfortable with it“, answered the Portuguese.
He was also asked if he knows when Craiova last won the championship and the Cup.
“I think the last title was in 1991 and the Cup 6 seasons ago. Is it time to win both this year?
It's time to recover the players after this game and look at the next opponent, nothing more. There are many teams playing well this season. It's been more than 30 years since the last title.
The distances are so small that if we thought that far it would be a mistake. We have to think about the next opponent (no – Metaloglobus), because it will be a tough match. We equalized with them in the round,” said the University coach in the flash interview on PrimaSport.
Coelho, asked: “Is it true that you would have left if you did not beat FCSB?”
Asked at the end of the press conference about the rumor that he would have left Craiova if he had not won with FCSB, Coelho replied:
“Honestly, I don't know. My job is to train the team and I sleep peacefully because I give my best. That's not my job, I prepare the matches. You better ask the one who started the rumours.”
