“We are happy that we were on the books and that we collected a lot of points, having a good game. We are a team that wants to win match by match, especially in the last period, to collect points. We have attitude and a nice game, and that is why so many people came to the stadium.
Unfortunately, not everything we set out to succeed, but that's it. We will aim for the first places in the play-out, there are hopes, we have a compact team, with very few problems, and we can make a good figure next year as well. we are on the right track Adrian Mihalcea managed to form a united group, so we, with himwe are very well”, said Alexandru Meszar for GSP.

“It's a forgettable match. It's a match I didn't understand much from. We have to gather and present ourselves better in the last match, the one against Metaloglobus. At the moment, the points really do matter. After this match they are halved. The teams will regroup in an area where if you are not careful everything becomes dangerous.
FCSB has a plus because of the value of the players and because of this non-qualification in the play-offs. I think he will do everything possible to finish 7th. We will fight. It is important not to have problems in the first play-out game. We don't even have a week to ruminate on what we didn't do well. There were many things I didn't like today”, said Adrian Mihalcea at the end of the match.
