Filipe Coelho, after Argeș – Craiova: “It's a fair victory”
“It was good, the players fought. We were in front of an opponent who is strong in set-pieces. We didn't start well, after 20 minutes I think we controlled the match. We corrected certain things, we controlled the match better. They had more corners, but we had the more important chances.
I think it's a fair win, we got 3 points and I'm happy for the fans and the players. We want to build something. It's good that we reacted quickly and scored, but we have to improve some things. Points are important. Tyou have to understand that we only had one training session with the whole team, it wasn't easy, we changed the system, dynamics, things at fixed phases.
The players are professional, intelligent. I'll see how we play next. Today some things came out. Perhaps we should not forget that the last away win in the Superliga was in August. We looked like a team with personality and managed to beat a good team. I was booked after the goals because that's who I am, I like to be balanced.
I don't get too happy when things go well. I stay focused on what's happening on the field. To be honest with you, I'm only focused on the next game. I watch a lot of matches, but I focused more on the next opponents.
I cannot express an opinion about the level of other teams. In this championship there are many good players, good coaches. We will still have time to talk about Mainz, step by step”, said Coelho, on Prima Sport.
