Mirel Rădoi (44 years old), the coach of the University of Craiova, prefaced the game with Metaloglobus on Saturday afternoon, from round number 14 of the Superliga, which will take place on Sunday, in Clinceni. The Olten coach announced that he expects a difficult match against the team that defeated the FCSB champion in the previous round. He also has some squad problems, waiting to find out exactly which players he can count on for the trip from Ilfov.
Craiova comes after a 1-1 draw at home, against FC Noah, in the second stage of the Conference League single group. Mirel Rădoi announced that he has some squad problems, without giving any names, and that he is waiting for news from the medical department, to see exactly who he can count on for the match with Metaloglobus.
For Olteni, a busy period is coming, after the match with Metaloglobus they will play three games in all three competitions in which they are engaged: with Sănătatea Cluj in the Romanian Cup, with Rapid in the Superliga and with Rapid Vienna in the Conference League.
Mirel Rădoi, one thought before the match with Metaloglobus: “Let's return home with the three points”
“It won't be easy at all, it will be a difficult game, but I hope we can be inspired by the choice of players and manage to return home with the three points.
Somehow they are organized defensively, they close the spaces between the compartments well, the transition to a positive level is very dangerous, out of the last 12 transitions they managed to score 7 goals. Even though FCSB had the initiative and possession in the last game, they had few opportunities to score.
Maybe on Bîrligea's occasion, at 1-0, if he scored and it was 2-0, the game would have gone differently, but I think it's no coincidence that they managed to win, because they knew what they wanted in this game.
We are not going through the happiest situation at the moment both from a fatigue point of view, but also from a medical point of view. We are waiting for the evaluation of the medical department to see which players we will take in the squad for this game”said Mirel Rădoi, before the match with Metaloglobus.
