Dinamo – U Cluj 2-1. Claudiu Vaișcovici (63 years old), the legend of the “dogs”, had only words of praise for him Catalin Cîrjan (23 years old), team captain.
His speech comes a few days after he entered into an exchange of words with Andrei Nicolescu, the president of the club, precisely because of the fact that he criticized Cîrjan after the evolution of the match with CFR Cluj.
Claudiu Vaișcovici, conclusions after Dinamo – U Cluj 2-1: “I have to applaud them”
“I have to applaud them, congratulate them for how they played and for winning. In the first half, both some and others seemed to be fumbling. The second half, completely different, and I'm glad that Dinamo continues, after the match with CFR, an upward path.
I also congratulate Cîrjan, don't be angry Mr. Nicolescu. When he plays, plays, you have nothing to say, you applaud him. They all played there, in attack, apart from the two beautiful goals, they also had some opportunities,” said Claudiu Vaișcovici, on the “Fotbal Show” show, from Prima Sport.
Cătălin Cîrjan opened the scoring in the match at the National Arena with an effective execution. Dinamo's captain missed a huge opportunity last week, in the last phase of the away match with CFR Cluj, which ended in a draw, score 1-1.
Cîrjan drove only from 30-35 meters from his own goal and 10-15 meters in the opponent's half. He has other concerns. Only passes back and to the side! Cîrjan in a one-on-one duel is physically outmatched, he has no strength.
