“We would not have thought of such a victory, the elimination of the player from Craiova also made the difference. I deserved to win, I played a good game.
I think Lukic has not been able to adapt to Craiova. He came to us, gained confidence and started scoring. We were looking for a striker with a similar profile as Blănuță, a player who would already be adapted to our championship. He was also a goalscorer in Bosnia. These were the arguments for which we decided to acquire it.
The title bonus is stipulated in the players' contracts, from the beginning of the season. If it gets there, we'll divulge it. There is still a long way to go, Craiova is an extremely strong team.
“Craiova remains the favorite for the title. We are not overly excited”
If they win all their remaining matches, including the one against us, they will take the title. Craiova remains the favorite for the title. We don't get too excited. We stay with our feet on the ground.
It would be one of the biggest surprises if we win the championship, especially in this play-off format.
The objective is to qualify for a European cup, we try not to think about winning the title every day”, declared Radu Constantea, president of U Cluj, at GSP Live Special.
