Alexandru Chipciu, after U Cluj – Oțelul 4-0: “Let's drink a beer, sit in the sauna”

After the match, Chipciu spoke about the liberation felt once the goal was accomplished:

“It's a relief. I was feeling the tension because it's frustrating to score 48 points and know you're not going in, when last year they were going in with 44. I had that scenario 2-3 years ago, when I was a minute away from the playoffs and didn't get it. The whole atmosphere, and on the street, the bus driver, the car horns, it was felt that it was difficult for any team to beat us and our motivation was greater than that of Steel.

We have now achieved one of the club's greatest recent performances. We remain focused and see what will happen in the next matches. I also received messages that we are fighting for the title, but we have to be balanced. We drink a beer now, sit in the sauna, tell more stories, and from tomorrow we start all over again.”

Alex Chipciu: “I'm also alone, because my wife left with the girls”

Chipciu also spoke about the busy schedule that follows for the people of Transylvania:

“It's somehow sad that you can't enjoy it more. The supporter can, the next day we're preparing for the Cup match, after against FCSB, and I think we'll have a tough match in the quarters. I personally don't think they're easy matches. The difference is small and we have to stay balanced. We enjoy 2-3 hours. I'm also alone, because the wife left with the girls, I'm happier at home.

We have to be at a good level in the cup game as well, but there are 3 important points that have freed us from that pressure and the fans have realized it at the moment. I think that's what we also need in the play-offs, for him to be physically with us more.”

The veteran player also explained how he adapts his game as the years go by:

“Indeed, when you get older in football, it's harder in the wing than in the center. In the center you fool more, but clearly I'm doing the steps more correctly than I ever did and I have to take care of the recovery. Genetically, I had speed from a young age, in primary school I was the best in speed and strength as well. No matter how hard you work, there are players who don't have strength and it's hard to develop it.

And the brain, probably, from so many matches, has learned to be more effective. And at the match with CFR, my wife said to me: “Mother, you must get angry, do it”. The brain knows when to make decisions.”

At the end of the flash-interview, Chipciu wished “Success Tomorrow”. Asked who he wished good luck to, the player said: “I don't want to say.” On Saturday, the team from CFR Cluj, the team he played for before U!
