“That made him make the choice”

Nicolescu also spoke about the forward's health and confessed that he hopes that Pușcaș will be a solid option for Dinamo's attack in the play-offs.

Andrei Nicolescu, immediately after George Pușcaș signed with Dinamo: “An additional solution in attack”

“He had an individual training program that we decided together to complete. He was in direct contact with our medical staff and we decided to do this, and only after that to come to Romania. He was in Dubai because there is a specialized clinic there, which he found following a recommendation. He completed a treatment for pubalgia, which I think every player encounters in his career.

It depends on how he adapts to the team's schedule. From a medical point of view there was no problem. The contract is until the summer of next year. We are talking about a salary that fits into Dinamo's salary scale.

I don't want to discuss amounts. It is an amount that the club can afford and is fair for what we expect from George. Certainly, at this moment, he does not have the highest salary from Dinamo”, Andrei Nicolescu said on the show “Digi Sport Special”.

Asked about the fact that some fans declared online that instead of bringing Pușcaș, Dinamo's management should have convinced Kennedy Boateng to extend his contract, Nicolescu pointed out: “The emotion of the fans cannot be compared to anything, but at Dinamo there are a million coaches and a million presidents. Everyone is free to express their opinion.

Talking to Pușcaș, I realized that he is very motivated, and our expectation is that, at least in the play-off matches, we will have an additional solution in the attacking area. That's what we want. Probably during the competitive break or right after we can rely on him. The medical staff will decide exactly.

I think it's more like Selmani's style, but I think it has more individual quality. And Mister (no Kopic) was very positive when we discussed bringing him here.

I think the feedback he received from those he talked to about Dinamo mattered a lot. It is proof that Dinamo is starting to command respect. That made him make the choice easier“.

Andrei Nicolescu excludes from the start a “table” with FC Argeș

Also, also in the online environment, several Dinamo fans demanded that the team coached by Zeljko Kopic “slam” the match with FC Argeș, so that the rival FCSB no longer has a chance to enter the play-offs.

“I told you that there are a million coaches at Dinamo, in Romania, and a million presidents. We play all the matches to win. There is no such thing as “let's lose the match with Argeș” in Dinamo's language. We aim to score 6 points in the next two matches, at least to maintain our position”.
