Mircea Rednic (63 years old) was present at the National Arena at the duel between Dinamo and Craiova University, lost by the “dogs” with 0-1. The former coach of the red-whites left before the end and analyzed the performance of the team, admitting that the hopes of the title are getting smaller.
Olteni prevailed 1-0, thanks to the goal scored by Etim in the 45th + 2nd minute, a result that brings them back to first place in the Superliga.

The technician commented on the game of Dinamo, a team with which he was connected both as a player (1983-1990) and as a coach in several mandates.
“I'm fine, I'm healthy, I'm in shape and it was normal for me to come to the country, to go to matches. Yes, I came from Salaj. That's what I do when I'm not training, I'm also renovating my parents' house.
Tonight's game…they started with fear. We had two chances to score, they had one and a half and scored. We have an extra man, but I can see that we can't score and that's why I left. The chances are getting smaller and smaller“, said Rednic.
Mircea Rednic: “I would like him to win the title”
The former Dynamo coach also spoke about the team's chances in the fight for the title:
“Dinamo also had a lot of problems with injuries. I would like them to win the title, but I don't think so this year, because I also saw the teams from Cluj, Craiova and Rapidwho are in better shape than Dinamo.
It is a balanced championship, there are small differences in the play-offs. It's still playing, we'll see what happens, it's only the second stage.”
Asked when he will return to the technical bench, “Strâmbu” answered briefly: “As soon as possible.”
I hope it will be a miracle, because only through a miracle can we qualify. We have to be realistic, because what lot they have, it will be very difficult.
