Vladimir Screciu (26 years old), starter in Craiova University – U Cluj 5-0, the victory that made the white-blue champions, commented on the championship triumph, the first title from Bănie after 35 years of waiting.
A key man in the blue-white defense, Screciu was delighted with the way this season went for the University, with participation in the Conference League group and two domestic trophies.
Screciu, unchained by Craiova's title: “Mother, you're crazy, what's wrong?”
“Something unexpected, if someone had told us at the beginning of the season that we would enter the Conference League groups, win the Cup and the championship, I would have said: “Mom, you are crazy, what are you doing?”.
It's something of a dream to live on my skin such moments here, with my soul team, with these wonderful supporters. I'm glad we made them happy. This city has suffered a lot, 35 years without the title of champion,” said the central defender to PrimaSport.
Screciu did not shy away from admitting that this success also brought him personal satisfaction:
“I think the hardest moment was the match at U Cluj. I felt the boys were very motivated. I'm very happy that we got our revenge, I remember that I was during the interview and the people from U Cluj came to me and were happy.
This motivated me more. The most important thing in football is that you can get revenge. It ended well for us, I'm very happy. History, I can't wait to go and enjoy with the boys”.
After that 0-4 in Cluj-Napoca in the play-off round, he challenged the opponents: “We are also waiting for the U Cluj in Craiova. I have fantastic confidence in this team that we can take it all the way.”
