“Let me stand up and applaud them” » FCSB convinced him, even if he struggled with Botoșani

Iasmin Latovlevici is proud of his former team for qualifying for the final with Dinamo and even stood up to applaud the FCSB players.

Iasmin Latovlevici, after FCSB – Botoșani: “They suffered, but it doesn't matter anymore”

“First of all, let me stand up, applaud and say well done to them. My opinion is that they deserved it. They suffered, but it doesn't matter anymore. I don't think anyone wants to see a decisive match between Botoșani and Dinamo. This is the most appropriate final.

I am happy for Octavian Popescu and for all the players. It's not easy to be a champion and end up struggling like that. This team's place is high. It's not just that he can get up, he has to, that's what this team is all about. It represents an entire country, and when we go out into the world, everyone recognizes the value.

I think they got themselves into trouble. I think Steaua created its own problems in this match. It should have ended at 3-1. Small teams, unfortunately, cannot keep up the pace of concentration, that's why they are where they are, and vice versa,” said Latovlevici, on GSP Live Special.

I had emotions, the emotion of bad luck. When it's only one game, you think you're unlucky. I never took it into account, I always said that we were playing the final with Dinamo. We did not take into account Botoşani. That's normal, we have value if we won two championships, you have to beat Botoșani, as proof I beat her.

I didn't make the changes. Stoian didn't even care. The team was known, you had no other starting formula. Always when I played with Stoian from the beginning, at half-time we changed him, he can't last longer.
