“It may not go on forever” » Basarab Panduru sounds the alarm before the sprint for the title

For Craiova, this was the second consecutive victory, at the limit, 1-0, after the one against Rapid, from the 5th round of the play-off. Before, the Oltenians had also won with a single goal difference against Dinamo, in the away game from Bucharest, in the second stage.

Basarab Panduru warns Craiova at the end of the season

“Craiova wins, it's in first place. It could have made it 2-0 in the 17th minute, through Matei, and in the 28th, with Bancu, who hits the short corner. Craiova comes in and has to score a goal, all the players know it, but you score it and, as time goes by, you think about shooting it.

You're not at the level of the second and third goals, but it's not that easy to score, because we're not at that level. This 1-0 might not go on forever”said Basarab Panduru, after the match, on the show “Fotbal Show”, from Prima Sport.

Olten had some emotions at the end of the match, but in the end they managed to achieve an extremely important success in the fight for the title. Craiova is now three points behind U Cluj and five behind CFR Cluj with 4 play-off stages remaining.

In the next stage, Craiova, now positioned as the main favorite to win the championship, will receive a visit from Dinamo on Sunday, May 3, at home, in the 7th stage of the play-off.

We had to suffer, we cannot control for 90 minutes. As I said before, all the other teams are very good and so are all the coaches. Now it's important to recover and prepare for the next match in the best possible way.

I played exactly what I needed to in this game. It is important sometimes to play as the game, the field, the opponent demands. At this point, the most important thing is the points. We already have more points than last season
