Hermannstadt – fast 2-1. How Marius Măldărășanu commented on the qualification in the final of the Romanian Cup: “I'm sorry for Șumi”
“I had the pulse 180. It is the first final as a coach. I want to win a trophy as a coach. It is the moment. We have another match. It was something extraordinary, a deserved victory, I say, as a number of occasions. They had the possession, they put the second half, but they had no situations to mark
Many new occasions, unfortunately, a meteah of ours. I am glad that we get there, but we also miss it. And in other matches I could gather points on the game and merit. I am happy for Sergiu (no Buș) because he had so much misfortune but was there at the right time. Very well they played the defensive game, they have high quality. A great effort at the intens.
We try to analyze each opponent. I would be happy to have this reaction at certain times and in other matches. Now they do not need a coach, you just show them the formula on the board in such matches. They do not need financial bonuses with big teams. Maybe with small teams, because it's hard to motivate there. They had financial motivation, but that was in the secondary plane because it was the chance to play a match on the table.
Many say players play for a long time together. About winter they started to know each other. We are trying to work, to have a landmark on every opponent's settlement. Sometimes it comes out, sometimes, no!
It was a special evening. I knew that the supporters of Sibiu support me, they supported me in the hardest moments. And as a player I said that for nothing I shouted my name when I marched. When it's hard for me to support me. I'm not sitting on the field after the victories because I don't want to take the merits of the players.
It is true, he chanted me the name and the Gallery Rapid, somewhere is normal, I played there, I broke my foot there.
I'm sorry for Șumi. I realize what is in his soul, and I lived it. It talks about one, the other, it is painful, but I would like to support it to the end.
He has words to him. He is the coach of the Rapid, he deserves to train the Rapid, he had a contribution to reaching the play-off. It's not easy to take a team along the way. The goals are high, but in the European cups they have a chance. I would be happy with the supporters to support him to the end, because he is one of them, “Măldărășanu told Flash-interview.
Asked how close it is to return to Giulești, Măldărășanu replied: “I don't know. You realize that any player, when he plays many years in a team, when he enters the coach, wants to train that team. I put my soul wherever I was.”
Hermannstadt will find out his opponent tomorrow, from CFR Cluj – Farul Constanța, scheduled at 8:30 pm.
