Filipe Coelho, statements after Craiova – CFR 2-0: “It's too balanced for me”

“It's good, we showed we can be competitive, we can be ready to play against good teams. I was emotionally involved, I tried to help my team, I wasn't angry.

We played a good game, we deserved the three points. It was a complicated week for us because I think the hardest part in football is when you have injured players.

We saw the fans get more involved, they supported the team and pushed us in the right direction. They played with us and that makes me happy and I hope that in the future we can do even better things. They are very important to us, they have helped us a lot.

In the first press conference you asked me about the title. I think it's a battle between the top six teams. We'll see, it's too balanced for me. All the teams are good, they can play well, they have shown good moments this season. It will be tough going forward and we will try to get more points.

I'm glad the players understood what needed to be done. There are things we need to improve, now it's time to rest. CFR is a historic club, they will win many points until the end.

It is important to pay attention to details. Today I was more emotionally involved, sometimes you have to show that to the team. We didn't have some players with us, we dedicate the victory to Isenko. I don't promise the title, I don't agree that it's a battle between two teams for the title,” said Filipe Coelho, at Digi Sport.
