U Cluj – Craiova 4-0. Cristiano Bergodi (61 years old), the coach of Cluj University, came happy at the end of the game that his team won clearly against Craiova, in the 4th stage of the play-off. The Italian calls for calmness, does not want to talk about the title and says that, in his opinion, Craiova is “the best team” in the championship.

Bergodi congratulated his players for the extremely solid performance in the victory that takes U Cluj to first place, three points away from Craiova. The Italian on the Cluj bench had only words of praise for his students and claims that the goal is to rank in the top 3.

Cristiano Bergodi's message, after the crushing success against Craiova: “The result was influenced by the red card”

“I congratulate my players. We started very well. The result was influenced by the red card received by Etim, but in 20 minutes we scored a goal, we had an opportunity through Cristea.

I entered very well against the best team, I think so. It was a very good match, being outnumbered is not easy for anyone. The players entered the field and did their job very well. I gave Stanojev a chance and he behaved very well.

Macalou entered after the family problems, he gave the assist to Nistor. They played very, very well and I'm happy for that. But we keep our feet on the ground. There are 6 games left, 18 points at stake. You can lose a point and get close to the teams behind. There are no title discussions.

The objective is to be in the top 3. We play solidly, we are a united group, players with quality and the ability to suffer. I am very happy for these things.

Răzvan Zamfir, Gabi Giurgiu have an eye on transfers, you can see the work behind them. The players have adapted very well to us, including in human relations. They have a nice character, they are players with character, and that makes us happy. During the winter period we strengthened, it's natural”, said Cristiano Bergodi, after the match, on the “Digi Sport Special” microphone.
