Olteni climbed to first place in the Superliga, thanks to the goal scored by Etim in the 45th + 2nd minute.
Zeljko Kopic, after Dinamo – Craiova 0-1: “We didn't concentrate”
Dynamo's technician explained where the difference was made in the match:
“The team had energy in the first half, we tried, but we didn't have many chances. Craiova was more balanced, but we had the feeling that we were good, that we were dominating. We didn't concentrate as we should and we conceded the goal.
In the second half we tried to do a few different things, but it wasn't enough to create any chances for us. Craiova remained balanced, and we did not manage to find the right way to the goal. In the last 20 meters we didn't produce enough.”
“I'm waiting for Pušcaș. What offensive players are doing is not enough”
Kopic took the players from the outposts. The forward line consisted of Armstrong, Soro and Musi.
“Throughout this part of the season we have had problems which were also seen today. On the counter-attack we were vulnerable, then we had to take more risks, and what offensive players do is not enough. For example Opruț, who is a defensive player, scored many goals. We're waiting for Pușcaș to be with us to have more options, but when you don't produce in the last 20 meters, it's easy for the opponent to defend.”
Zeljko Kopic: “After the last match I said what I had to say about the refereeing”
The Croatian was also asked about the controversial second-half spell in which Danny Armstrong called for a penalty. After the previous match, Kopic had stated that Dinamo is not respected in certain arbitration decisions.
“After the last game I said what I had to say about refereeing and I stand by my opinion, but I don't want to talk after every game about penalties. We have to let the referees do their job.
My mentality is not to give up, but we have to improve our level. Our big problem is in the final third of the pitch. If we solve this aspect, we will definitely go up in the ranking”, said Kopic in the flash interview from Digi Sport.
