Mirel Rădoi, reactions from the Austria cantonment
“From a physical point of view, the boys showed up unexpectedly. In the tests we gave aerobic capacity, strength, speed, their involvement was total. There was no reproach. From a tactical point of view we try from day to day and from training to training.
It is a difficult time, which they also perceived. Try to assimilate and accumulate as much as possible, because after we have a weekly cycle where we will only keep the things we do here. We'll have a shorter training.
We have only 20 days available, then the first two stages will come and the first match of the Conference League preliminaries. They understood that it is a moment of sacrifice for everyone. Obviously for us, the ones on the edge, it's easier. Sometimes we get tired from the heat … I think at the same time how hard it is for them
I'm glad we have no injuries so far. They understood what we are going to do. The first matches will come soon and we will see where we are physically. It is clear that we will have a first party without freshness, because it will be a large number of training until that match, but I think everyone will be fine, ”said Mirel Rădoi, in an interview with the University of Craiova.
Rădoi, satisfied with the program set for the new season
In the first stage of the new season, the University of Craiova will play away with UTA Arad. The Oltenians asked to evolve on foreign land in the inaugural round, in order to develop the playing surface on “Ion Oblemenco”, after the InteCity festival.
I would not say that it is a very difficult program, not very easy. I am glad that I failed in the first stage and so the lawn that will be mounted on 'Ion Oblemenco' to have installation time and those who work for him can bring him for the second stage, when we evolve at home, to optimal conditions.
I think it's a balanced firing. I had no preferences, because it's a matter of time until we play with everything. From this point of view we did not have teams that we can want, to start the championship easier. Our only wish was to play in the first step away
– Mirel Rădoi, Craiova University coach
Somehow we wanted to have availability on the ground, we can come here. I was two years ago with Taee, a team I trained in Eau and I knew there are very good training conditions here. The conditions are very good, both training and restoration.
From a tactical point of view I hope that they have assimilated as much information from what has happened so far and from what we will do. Then that everyone is healthy
