Ștefan Baiaram, after the University of Craiova won the Romanian Cup: “Tomorrow we have recovery”
“It's an indescribable feeling with the medal around my neck. I'm glad we got a trophy. We have one step left and we can write history. It was nice, a tense match. We went to penalties, but we wanted to finish the match faster.
We showed character, we showed that we are a strong team and I'm glad that Popića saved us this time as well. I want the game to be good, I want to play in the next game, If we win we can be champions on our own ground. I want most of all to play and come out champions.
Tonight we are going to party, tomorrow we have recovery, but at the end of the championship the party will last at least two weeks. It is an indescribable celebration. It hasn't happened for so many years, you realize what it means for the blue-white breath”, said Ștefan Baiaram at “Digi Sport Special”.
