It would have been good for them to have not even played these two matches with Levski. They have a coach from Manchester City who has been with Guardiola for 4 years. You can see his hand, you can see that he is trying to play the same football, possession. Have players to do that. Our advantage is that we play at home, but also the fact that they didn't play too many matches. In Europe I looked good at home. Let's be realists, a clear favorite is the braga.
If I had the lot available, it was even easier. They have no lot problems, we still have. I was as I was and was injured and peacock. I would like to play, honestly. I did not say that we give up, but under these conditions it is much harder for us. I am convinced that the players will give the best, only to be.
Simao did not work with the team. There are also peacocks and rods on the list. The cord came for a week, stayed for two months. Simao, maybe today he trains.
Pau Victor was bought for 15 million euros. CFR's budget is not 15. That says everything. There were teams with even larger budgets and miracles were made. We need to make miracles.
Braga is the fourth team in Portugal, but this year they have put other goals and win Europe or lecturer. They will reach the final, thinking about what lot they have. The claims are high. It would be extraordinary a full stadium. Without them we have no chance. I hope to help us continue, “said Dan Petrescu about the match with Braga.
