Raul Opruț promises that Dinamo will honor the match with U Cluj: “We are trying to win”

Raul Opruț, 28 years old, returns to the red-white team after being suspended for the match with CFR Cluj (0-0). The left defender says that Dinamo will not treat the confrontation at the Cluj Arena superficially, tonight, even if the “pack” cannot lose the 4th place in the ranking, cannot get on the podium anymore, and Zeljko Kopic has the idea of ​​maintaining many starters.

“We don't think about the play-off, because we have one more game. It's the last one before the play-off and we have time to put the last things in order for that duel. It's a play-off match, we have to respect the club and go there (to Cluj) to try to win this game.

I don't know which team will play (in Cluj), which players will start from them. There will definitely be players who have had less minutes this season, but I think we showed that when the points mattered, against them, we played well and managed to win. We go with confidence, let's play, let's try to win”, commented the football player.

About the possible opponent in the barrage, the “dogs” defender stated that he has no preferences, that he is not afraid of either FCSB or FC Botoșani.

“I have no preference. It will be an interesting match and we have to think about ourselves, to prepare well for that duel, because we will have a week to be as good as possible at the time of the game and to win,” said Opruț.

Raul explained in front of the journalists, in Săftica, why he agreed the other day to extend the commitment with Dinamo until the summer of 2029.

“I was motivated by this project because, as I said from the beginning, I was surprised. I liked what I found here, the conditions that I found, the people who are both in the technical staff and in the administrative staff.

I liked the fact that there is professionalism and a very good environment for performance. The appreciation that the fans have shown me over time made the decision to continue here an easy one,” said the left-back.
