U Cluj lost the Romanian Cup final with University of Craiova in penalty kicks, score 5-6, after 0-0 in 120 minutes. Cristiano Bergodi (61 years old), the technician of the formation from Transylvania, is satisfied with what he has achieved this season.
The coach took over U Cluj on the play-out spot, and after several positive results he ended up fighting for the title, but also for the Romanian Cup. Since the final was lost, only the championship remains for Cluj at this moment.
Cristiano Bergodi is convinced that even if they miss out on the title, this season will be a success.
Cristiano Bergodi: “It's a very good championship and I'm satisfied with what I saw”
“The championship can be extended for another week. The team will give everything, we are not giving up at all, it is a very important match. We will meet them again, we know each other very well, the match ended practically 0-0. We lost the Cup on penalties, but in the 120 minutes my players behaved well.
Anyway, where we started, to get to the cup final and fight for 1-2 places, it's a tremendously good season, probably the best in the history of this club, if you think that they won the cup in 1965.
It's a very good championship and I'm happy with what I saw and found. The first goal is gone, now we also have the championship, which was not a goal, but we are there and we are not giving up a millimeter. We are going to Bănie to play for a positive result”, said Cristiano Bergodi at the press conference at the end of the match with Craiova University.
