“Look at me. I'm not even happy”

Crețu entered the 86th minute of the game in Oltenia. The midfielder scored the 2-1 goal, in overtime ('105+1), and at the end of the game he said that he is trying to contribute to the team's success, despite the limited minutes he gets.

Instead, he declared himself satisfied with the team's performance and believes that Craiova University will be difficult to stop this season. Olteni are in first place in the Superliga, entering the play-off position as leaders. They are also in the semifinals of the Cup, where they will face Dinamo or Metalul Buzău.

Alexandru Crețu: “I play less or not at all, but I try to help with other things, if I am not on the field”

“I'm happy for the team, I'm happy for myself. It's nothing new that I scored, I'm happy to go through, I'm happy for the boys, we're a united family. Look at me, I play less to none, but I try to help with other things if I'm not on the court. I'm not happy that I'm not playing either, but we're going through a good time.

We had strong matches in the Conference, we came out with our heads held high, in the championship we met good teams, we are used to playing such games.

If we are focused and if we do what we are taught to do, no one will stop us. But we haven't won anything at the moment and we have to be calm. We are glad that we have many matches and we can all stand out.

Mister has freed himself, he is with us, there were also criticisms towards him that he did not deserve”, said Alexandru Crețu, on Prima Sport 1.
