Cătălin Cîrjan: “Everyone said that I was playing badly and on TV the idea was created that I was having a bad season”
“Coming after an important match that we played in Cluj, a very good match, tonight I came here with the thought of victory. I wanted it very much. We are very happy with the victory tonight and we have to continue in the same way. Frustration had gathered because we were playing very well in the matches, we were not able to score, but I don't want to talk about what was.
I prepare a lot in training with such executions. The ball came to me, I took it, I saw that open corner and I hit the ball very well.
There was a lot of talk about my miss in the match with CFR, but not about the assist. I went through a hard time, I was criticized a lot, cursed, I and my family went through a lot, but I thank God for giving me strength and I managed to get through this time.
Even though everyone was saying I was playing badly and on TV it was getting the idea that I was having a bad season, in the end I have the most contributions in the team, I have the most goals and assists.
It was a very important match, we were playing with the team in first place. We wanted this victory and we managed to climb to 5th place. All we want is to collect as many victories as possible and climb as high as possible”, said Cătălin Cîrjan, at Prima Sport.
Cătălin Cîrjan also spoke about Cristiano Berodi, U Cluj's technician, but also his former coach from Rapid.
“I can't say that I was very angry with him, that's simply football. He didn't appreciate me when I was at Rapid, but it happens in football. So I'm not mad at him, I wish him the best of luck and I want to keep it going.”
In the end, Dinamo's “decar” also talked about the matches with Craiova University and Rapid.
“Very important matches. Our concentration is 100% for the match with Craiova. We want to win the Cup and we will give everything in that match.
We want to win all the matches. I don't want to talk about the match with Rapid, because the match with Craiova is coming, a very important match for our season and I want us to focus on this match”.
