Ciprian Marica spoke on GSP.ro about the footballer's success and explained that this goal is exactly what George Pușcaș needed. The former Dinamo player did not rush to praise him.
Even though he scored, Ciprian Marica also found a minus in George Pușcaș's game. The minority shareholder of Farul is convinced that the striker is not the type of player who can pull the team after him.
“That's why Dinamo brought him in, to score goals. He had to break the ice and I hope he's the striker that Dinamo needs. He needs confidence, and a goal is welcome for him. It needs to be given time and trust, so I wouldn't rush to give a verdict. It's a first goal, but let's see how things will unfold, his results and developments will tell more.
For him personally it is very good. to Dinamo he has nothing to hope for. I don't think he's the type of player to pull the team after him, he needs the team to create chances or put him in situations to decide. There are no more attackers like that, only Drăguș can do that,” Ciprian Marica told Gazeta Sporturilor.
