Even the supporters did not ignore the confrontation at the end of the week, sending hostile messages to Dinamo immediately after the final whistle.
Adrian Rus: “It wasn't exactly a good game from our side”
“It was very difficult tonight, not exactly a good game from us. We showed team spirit, we sacrificed for each other, we ran for each other. I didn't play well, but for three points. We couldn't put on much of a show on this pitch and the pitch is smaller.
They pressed aggressively man to man and always played long balls. We are in first place and I hope to keep it that way. It's going to be a very tough game on Sunday, we have to go in just as motivated. With the supporters behind me, I hope we can take the three points and enjoy the end together with them”, said Adrian Rus, at the end of the game in Mioveni, which was decided by the success of Samuel Teles in the 10th minute.
