Adrian Rus spoke about the difficulty of the match, considering that the Olten team remained in 10 at the end of the first half, following a reckless entry by Nicușor Bancu on Maxime Sivis.
The team from Bănie performed a solid defensive game in the second part of the game and managed to shut down the frail Dynamo attacks.
Adrian Rus reacted after Dinamo – Universitatea Craiova 0-1: “I suffered a lot”
“We worked hard. We suffered, but suffering is part of the game and it ended with our victory. I don't know what happened to those tensions. I don't like things that are not part of the game. We have to keep our focus a little bit.
Poor Nicu (No. Nicușor Bancu) and lost it. I understand him, he wanted to hit the ball. He is our colleague. That's part of the game. We all went the extra mile for him to bring home the points.
(no Coelho) He told us to trust ourselves, to stay compact, not to risk anything. He set us up in that 5-4-0 we played. I'm glad it worked out for us tonight. I didn't tie two more passes. “Popică” (No. Laurențiu Popescu) I think he has some muscle for how many balls he cleared. It's good that I won. The break is coming and we can recover.
It was hard to break us! You know very well that even the lower rated teams when they defend do so. Not necessarily what AC Argeș did last match. They were more aggressive than us, but that match is history and I'm glad to be back on top. I hope we keep it like this and with victories in every game. I don't want to think about the other teams, their results. I hope it will help us”, said Adrian Rus in the flash-interview from Digi Sport Special.
Regarding the national team, if the selector relies on me I would be honored, but I don't know anything. I want us to get past Turkey, it will be very difficult, but I am sure that the coach will choose well and we will qualify for the World Championship
