Bogdan Andone congratulated his students, especially Adel Bettaieb, the scorer of the game's only goal. Bogdan Andone also addressed the topic of the fight for the title in the Superliga, where FC Argeș also signed up after the victory. Pitesti are two points behind the first place.
Bogdan Andone reacted after the Universitatea Craiova – FC Argeș: “We know that the players with an offensive profile in the squad are of execution. Bettaieb was the icing on the cake”
“I want to congratulate the players for their effort, for their attitude, for how they played the game. It was a pleasure, a joy to see how we organized ourselves defensively, how we tried to speculate the spaces.
I think it was a good to very good game from us. It was clear that we had to raise our level in the play-offs. It's a valuable, high-quality team. They are hard to beat at home and I want to congratulate the boys and thank the supporters who came in large numbers from Pitesti to support us.
I screamed extremely little. More on the end, on the fixed phases, on the markings. Absolutely nothing was heard. It was an uproar.
This win confirms the good run of the regular season. It was not for nothing that we beat Dinamo, CFR Cluj, FCSB. There were other good to very good matches. It shows that the work of the boys and the way they prepare is the right thing to do. We take each match individually. We set out to score as many points as possible, to enjoy football, against strong opponents, to see what our limits are and to try to get the best possible results.
I'm happy for all the guys. We know that the offensive profile players in the squad are executioners. They can decide the game regardless of the opponent with certain executions. Today, Bettaieb was the icing on the cake with that extraordinary execution and crowned the dynamic of the whole team.
A lot has been said, we are fighting for the title. We aim to win the next game. I told them to enjoy the two days off. From Monday, we start preparing the match against U Cluj, a very strong opponent. We are trying to raise ourselves to a good level,” Bogdan Andone told “Digi Sport Special”.
