At the end of the game, Olaru spoke about the success achieved by the red-blues, about the season he considers below expectations, but also about the moment when he was changed in the 104th minute, when the Dynamo supporters insulted him in unison “Milogule, milogule!”.
Thus, FCSB, the team that ended the season in 2nd place in the play-out, qualified for the European cups.
Darius Olaru, after Dinamo – FCSB 1-2: “It seems that who plays better is not always the favorite in football”
“I don't say it anymore, I'm used to it, I think it's the 10th time I break my head, but what matters is that we won and qualified for Europe. It was a difficult match, we knew it would be like that, everyone saw them as favorites, but it seems that in football, who plays better is not always the favorite. We showed that we are a team that knows what it wants from such matches and overall we deserved the win.
I said it yesterday at the conference, for me this season is a failure, because this team deserves more than the Conference League. This team has to want more and fight for the championship every year. It was definitely a failure to play in the play-out, it was a lesson for all of us and, for sure, next year we won't make such mistakes,” said Darius Olaru on Digi Sport's “Footbal Club”.
Asked about the fact that rivals Dinamo and Rapid played in the play-offs, but did not get a place in the European Cup, while FCSB managed to do so from the play-outs, Olaru stated:
“What should we do? We also took advantage of this rule, we are glad that we got to play this tie and how could we finish better than with the victory in the derby with Dinamo and the qualification in the Conference”.
Olaru, after being called “milog” by Dynamo players: “I felt important”
In the 104th minute, Olaru was replaced by Ofri Arad, the scorer of the decisive goal, and when he left the field, the Dynamo fans chanted “Milogule, milogule!”. The FCSB midfielder reacted after the match: “It felt good and important if they all sang, the whole stadium, but I would have been happy to play in a bigger stadium and have more people shouting.”

The midfielder also spoke about the goal scored by Ofri Arad:
Honestly, I was actually on the bench next to Risto (no Radunovic) and on the first long ball, when he made a good takeover, I told Risto that Ofri will score today. I'm glad he made it, he was also unlucky, he had an injury, he couldn't help us. Maybe we were also wrong that we didn't integrate him as we would have liked, but I'm glad that, as it has been written negatively lately, it's a goal that saved us all
