Filipe Coelho (45 years old), the coach from Craiova, drew the conclusions, after what his team beat Dinamoscore 1-0, in the second round of the Superliga play-off.
Filipe Coelho is proud of his team's performance in the match at the National Arena. He said how he managed to beat Dinamo, even though the Bucharesters played in numerical superiority for more than one half.
Filipe Coelho, after Dinamo – Craiova: “There are 3 points against a good team”
“It's 3 points against a good team. With two different moments in the game, before and after the elimination. It's a fair result. We didn't give the opponent many chances, it's 3 important points.
It was something I prepared in practice, I tried to instill in them the idea that we can also play when outnumbered, we work on that in training because it's part of football. I think we did very well. I still don't know how serious Isenko's injury is, we'll see.
All the victories are important, I think it's important to keep our balance. We don't consider ourselves weak when we lose or very good when we win. There are 8 games left, all the points are important, it's time to rest a little.
I think we fought well, we tried to find spaces, to have superiority in certain areas. Then in the second half we knew they would build with the central defenders, without much pressure.
We tried to win, with a positive energy, I don't think it was anything out of the ordinary, every team wants to win. I would like to say something important, I wish the Romanian national team all the best. I hope that we will be able to enjoy Romania's presence at the World Cup”, said Filipe Coelho, at Prima Sport.
