Oprut River (28 years old), integralist in victory achieved of Dinamo on own land with U Clujscore 2-1, declared himself satisfied with his team's first success in the championship after two months.
Zeljko Kopic's (28-year-old) side registered their first win after a 7-match “drought” in the Superliga, in which they recorded 5 defeats and two draws. Cătălin Cîrjan and Alexandru Musi signed the goals scored by Dinamo, in the 75th and 81st minutes, and the success of Atanas Trică in the 84th minute was insufficient for U Cluj to leave the National Arena undefeated.
Raul Opruț, after Dinamo won the first match in the Super League after two months: “We showed that we can beat anyone”
“We deserved to win this game with U Cluj. In some moments we were unlucky, but we showed that we can beat anyone! It's all about the details in football.
There was a little frustration with us, because the results were not reflected in the games provided previously. In most of the games we played well and had chances, but we were also unlucky in terms of finishing.
It would have been nice if we won without conceding a goal, but it's still good and we're happy for the 3 points.
In the first half, there were not many goal phases, neither on one side, nor on the other. This is what happens when two good teams meet. The second half was more open and the counter-attacking phases also appeared.
There were two teams that tried to play football and I think that's the most important thing”, said Raul Opruț, according to digisport.ro.
