Dinamo lost again, this time against Craiova University, score 0-1, and the “dogs” suffered their fifth consecutive defeat in the Super League. Costel Orac (67 years old) and Ioan Andone (66 years old) harshly criticize the Dynamo players.
Craiova beat Dinamo, although they played with 10 men for an entire half, after the inexplicable gesture of the captain Nicușor Bancu, who saw the red card and went to the locker room early. The only goal of the match was scored by Etim, in the extra time of the first half.
Costel Orac: “I was afraid of the play-off…”
“It's painful, especially since the Craiova team played a half outnumbered, but that's football. I don't see Dinamo as champions, in the situation we're in now and the way we performed in the last stages. There's little chance we'll hope for the title”says Costel Orac, former player with over 200 matches for Dinamo.
In a dialogue for GSP.RO, at the end of the game, Orac admits that he had other expectations from the “dogs” in the current play-off season. “I was afraid of the play-off… I was curious how we would evolve compared to last season. And last year we didn't make a good figure. The championship is quite tight, but I like how Cluj University is evolving”, the former striker also pointed out.
Dinamo also had many problems with injuries. I would like them to win the title, but I don't think so this year, because I also saw the teams from Cluj, Craiova and Rapid, who are in better shape than Dinamo. It is a balanced championship, there are small differences in the play-offs. It's still playing, we'll see what happens, it's only the second stage

Ioan Andone: “You can't do it like this! Kopic must stay”
Ioan Andone had a tougher and more trenchant opinion. Former Dinamo player and coach, Andone vehemently criticized the Dynamo players.
“I haven't seen any change in Dinamo. They play too much on the side, they don't have a genuine peak, they don't have combinations in the central axis. If you don't take the ball into the opponent's box to create chances, you can't score… Craiova was smarter and took advantage of the blunders of the central defenders, getting the three points“, Andone explained exclusively for GSP.RO.
The former defender still gives credit to Croatian Željko Kopić, but highlights Dinamo's big problems.
“Bad start… At least the European cups will catch them, but the start is very weak. You can't play this stupid. It's a team without a philosophy… Kopic must stay! It's only great when it has players“Falcosul” also declared.
