Vladimir Screciu, after U Cluj – Craiova: “It is something indescribable to experience such emotions until the last moment”
“It feels great. It's like last time, when we won the Cup, it wasn't like now. It's something indescribable to live until the last moment such emotions. We're happy, but from tomorrow we're thinking about what these formidable supporters want: to win the title, because he deserves it very much.
We want to bring them the greatest joy, because many did not get to see Craiova Maxima, neither did we.
There were very big emotions. I always trusted Laurentiu Popescu. It was executed very well, but penalties are like a lottery. I'm glad that it was in our favor and that we won”, said Vladimir Screciu, at Prima Sport.
I am very happy, I really wanted this trophy. We had faith that we would win this match. I'm glad we guessed the corner, we won and we'll be happy tonight. It's the second final, I hope the title comes after 35 years, we've been waiting for it for a long time.
