Baiaram was integral today, in the victory that turned Craiova into champions, 5-0 against U Cluj.
Author of 7 goals and 6 assists during the championship, he spoke highly of the current group, then reiterated that he wants to change the team in the summer.
Ștefan Baiaram announced his departure from Craiova: “For sure”
“I can't even find the words, I've been dreaming of this moment since I started playing football. I'm glad that I won the championship with my soul team, that I did the event after 35 years. We have an extraordinary group, a very good team.
Never since I have been in Craiova have I had such a good team. This year I did some really good results and I'm proud of all my colleagues!
We knew we were playing with 35,000 people in the stands, you saw how crazy it was before the game. We knew that if we won this match we would be champions after 35 years. We owe this win to them and honestly, I don't even know how to be happy. I've been dreaming of this since I started playing football.
We are a very good team, we deserve to win this championship. I also played in Europe and lost there undeservedly, but I'm glad that I made the event”, said Baiaram to PrimaSport. Then asked if he will continue in Banie, he answered:
“We have one more week, after that I will go on vacation, if not the selector will call me to the lot. I hope he will call me, I want to be in the national team. After, I definitely want to leave. Even more so for the University of Craiova, after 7 years… We have reached the end“.
We are glad that this season has been fantastic for us. A qualification in the Conference, the Cup and now the championship. Such a match does not look. It is a fantastic joy. We're going to have fun tonight.
That's how it is in Craiova. I had great emotions. We wanted to make a big game today. It worked out for us and we are happy. I think the trophies are deserved. I fought every match, there were hard moments, but I'm happy with the victory now.
– Laurentiu Popescu, goalkeeper, University of Craiova
