“Very little football! Minimal risk”

Nicolae Grigore highlighted the fact that the two teams didn't risk and didn't put on a show, especially after the break, while Laszlo Balint tactically analyzed the game of U Cluj, who changed the game system several times during the game.

Nicolae Grigore commented after U Cluj – Universitatea Craiova, the final of the Romanian Cup: “We had very little football”

“I said at halftime, I hoped more, that it would be scored. The game seemed somewhat open. The goal could have come, but it went with minimal risk until extra time. You could see that this is the direction we are going. I was really talking that the first half was more interesting.

In the second half and overtime we had very little football. He didn't risk it, but unfortunately for U Cluj, he lost. It's frustrating to lose like that. By what happened in the first half, the University of Craiova is meritorious. Instead, in the light of what followed in the second half and in extra time, a zero on the line… We can say that neither team deserved it or both deserved it”, said Nicolae Grigore on GSP Live Special.

I would not be radical like Nicolae. It's a final. In the first half we saw more situations, more concern, at least on Craiova's side, to score. We saw that system change at U Cluj when Capradossi was introduced and they switched to 3-5-2 to replace the under player. I also said during the break that the system will change. After that, it was a good period for Cluj University. A period where they pushed the pressure higher and recovered more. I think that the University of Craiova was a little surprised by this change. He then returned to 4 defenders and entered a caution zone. In penalties, there were some very good executions, and some were with trac, for example, at Romanchuck. The credit goes to Laurentiu Popescu. He guessed the corner, took out and the trophy goes to Craiova.
