University of Craiova – CFR Cluj 2-0. Basarab Panduru (55 years old) analyzed the success of the Oltenians and wanted to make a new comparison, taking into account the fact that the Oltenians were trained in the first part of the season by Mirel Rădoi (45 years old).
The former international drew a parallel with what happened at Liverpool last season, when the team was taken over by Arne Slot, the Dutchman benefited from the squad left by Jurgen Klopp and won the championship.
I believe that a similar situation is also in Craiova, where Mirel Rădoi has a huge merit in the fact that the team is involved with real chances in the fight for the title.
Basarab Panduru, after Craiova – CFR Cluj 2-0: “At CFR you had the impression that he wanted to confuse more”
Panduru is convinced that the Oltenians deserved the victory and claims that CFR played as if they only wanted to confuse.
“Maybe Craiova didn't play the best game, but, watching the match, you see some things: deep passes, coming out from the right, going to the left side, man ready to develop the attack at speed. You see some things in Craiova.
At CFR, you had the impression that he wanted to confuse Craiova more than to play. It's as if the CFR no longer had that heart, that madness, that drive, to really want to win. I think Craiova deserved the victory tonight. Some players entered CFR who did not bring anything good to the team.
(no – about Coelho's coming to Craiova) Like Arne Slot coming to Liverpool after Klopp. And there they gave him 500 million and the dust was settled. Here he comes, the team was healthy, they trained properly, the last results were not the best.
A man who has no idea about Romania, stays with Paulo Bento for a long time in the national team, he does not know what is happening in Romania. He comes and impresses, I like what he does”, said Basarab Panduru, at Prima Sport.
