Alexandru Crețu has not been among Craiova's key players this season, with just 19 appearances and a single goal in this championship, but tonight, at the title celebration, he was the soul of the party.
With a smile on his face, put on his shoulders, he wanted to pay some bills. That's how he arrived at the mixed zone, with the medal around his neck, with a few colleagues by his side, to ironically thank a few analysts and publications who, throughout the season, bothered Bănia with their observations and comments.
Alex Crețu wanted to pay policies according to the title of Craiova: “Thanks to Mr. Rusescu!”
“Thank you to Mr. Șumudica, thank you to Mr. Rusescu, thank you to Fanatik, Digi and those who trusted… I can't pronounce their names, but thank you, they gave us a very, very high energyCretu said.
Rusescu saw U Cluj as having the first chance at the title, Marius Șumudică was not at all impressed by the audience in Bănie and did not rule out that the Transylvanians would have confused Craiova this evening.
Alexandru Crețu returned to Craiova in the summer of 2025. He played a total of 115 minutes in the 9 play-off stages so far.
