Claudiu Niculescu reacted after Unirea Slobozia – Oțelul 2-1: “No days off. We have to work”

“We're happy, we got off the hook. We had a really tough week where we worked a lot with the staff to lift the boys' morale after the defeat last week. You know very well what happened. It was like a similar situation in the Champions League final, Bayern Munich against Manchester United in 99.

We have experienced it ourselves. A moment like this breaks you down. I congratulate my boys. They came through and I told them all week that this moment can strengthen us. They definitely managed to overcome that moment.

It was a deserved victory. Although Steel also had another opportunity. They didn't cause much trouble. That's why I say it's a deserved win. I spoke to them in the dressing room, I congratulated them. From tomorrow, to work. We have a tough two weeks ahead of us.

I didn't give them a day off. Maybe at the end of the week. We will also have a friendly match on Wednesday and Friday. We have to work. Some did not evolve today due to tactical considerations and must be used in matches to pick up the pace. Some of them come after a long injury. A victory that gives us hope that we can achieve our goal: saving from relegation.

I was inspired to change. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. That's our job. Everyone who came in at halftime did well. I'm not mad at those who were changed at half-time either,” said Claudiu Niculescu during the flash-interview on the Fotbal Club show on Digi Sport.
