A few minutes away, the goalkeeper Cătălin Căbuz, who was declared the man-of-the-match after the game in Craiova, for the interventions he had, recognized the negotiations in the dressing room, regarding the first. He would not say how much he and his colleagues will receive, but implied that everyone is happy.

“I can't tell you, you have to talk to Mr. President. It worked out well for everybody.

We are very happy, we started with a strong match, with the team in first place, we were very determined, we wanted it from the beginning and we succeeded. We will take each match individually, try to get the most out of each match and we will see.

We rose to their level, we were maybe even above their level, a good match from all points of view. We take each match individually. If God helps us, we will see where we will be at the end”, said Căbuz, after the match, in the mixed area.

Other statements by Mario Tudose after the success in Craiova

“We knew we were meeting a very good team. Craiova will certainly fight in the championship until the last stage. I think we are the second team, if I'm not mistaken, to win here this season. It's a very good thing for us, it's meritorious for us and we're very happy.

We are in the top 6, we have now climbed the rankings, with this victory, but we are taking it match by match, step by step. It is hard to say that you are fighting for the championship for now. It's the first stage, there are 9 games left and we hope to get as many points as possible.

We had attitude, we didn't give up any duel, we fought for every ball, as we do in every match. I think this is our main asset. We are a very hardworking team and we deserve our place in the play-offs.

Of course there was pressure, with every attack they encouraged them, we were booed, but this pressure was also felt by them and I think that their game did not go very, very well.

Most of them didn't even give us a chance to enter the play-offs, let alone take points here. We think about each match separately, we try to detach ourselves from what people say, that we are here and lose all the matches. We take match by match and you can see, look, we managed to score the first 3 points”, said Mario Tudose, after the match in Bănie.
