Victor Pițurcă (69 years old), the legendary player of Stela, excluded from the start the version according to which Dinamo “would have left it softer” in the lost match with FC Argeș, score 0-1, in the penultimate stage of the regular season in the Super League.
A possible success of the people from Pitesti would have formalized the fact that FCSB will no longer be able to qualify for the play-offs, a scenario proven following the victory achieved by the team coached by Bogdan Andone, in the match at the National Arena against Dinamo.
Victor Pițurcă excludes the “top” variant from the start at Dinamo – FC Argeș: “This was seen on the field”
“I saw the match, I didn't think so! Argesul played a very good tactical game, it had a step higher pace compared to Dinamo, as well as pace of play. This was seen in the field. He did not allow Dinamo to play their usual game.
There is no question of thinking differently after the game, from what I have seen as a professional, no thought! Dinamo has a serious management, a very serious coach, there is no problem”, said Victor Pițurcă, on the show “Fotbal Club” from Digi Sport.
Afterwards, the legendary Stella player recalled the offer he received to coach the great rival: “I was offered by Dinamo when it was Negoiță, I said no. It's too late for me! It seems like a good idea (not that he refused) when I'm a star player, and Dinamo is with them. I've said it all the time, Dinamo is one of the biggest clubs in Romania, that's the reality.
But, it's a different family. There are players, young coaches at Dinamo who must hold the flag high. Is Pițurcă coming from Steaua, “boy”?“.
Victor Pițurcă sees Craiova University as the favorite for the title
“Craiova is the favorite, not that they will break the market by playing. But, they are very strong players, in important matches it is very difficult to beat them. I don't know if the other teams will rise to a level that will allow them to win the matches.
I see an open play-off, anyone can beat anyone. The first 2-3 matches matter a lot, Craiova can finally become champions. Every point counts.”
