“It pains me to say this”

FCSB captain, scorer of a very nice goal in the 4th minutefound two big “culprits” for the failure suffered today and the woeful game played by the reigning champion in the second half: the grass and the lack of motivation.

Darius Olaru, after FC Botoșani – FCSB: “It hurts me to say this, they wanted more”

“A rainy evening… It was difficult, a match that we started well, we scored quite quickly. After receiving we had a reaction and scored the 2nd goal, but we did not come out well in the second half. Even though we had a few chances to score, we did not have a good half and unfortunately we did not manage to get even a point.

We did exactly what we talked about not doing: we gave them balls very easily. If they failed to create they scored from our mistakes. We have nothing to do, we lost as a team. We have to pick ourselves up and win the next game.

I don't think you can talk about value anymore once we entered this field, which was how it wasvery difficult… If you also put big players, I don't think you could see the difference in value anymore.

They just wanted more tonight, it pains me to say it. We knew that if we were going to rise to their level in terms of attitude, it was clear that we had to win the match by value,” said Olaru at the DigiSport flash-score.

In the end, Olaru was also asked about his personal milestone, the 250th match at FCSB in all competitions. “Was it the 250th game? I didn't know. Yes, I'm glad I scored, but for nothing if we didn't manage to get something,” he replied.
