Dan Petrescu was categorical at the end of the game between CFR Cluj and FCSB, score 2-2, and the coach of the team from Gruia had a few words to say for Louis Munteanu

Sunday night’s home team coach, Dan Petrescu, he was satisfied by the performance in the first part of the game in Gruia, which CFR Cluj dominated, managing to score two goals, through Louis Munteanu. The “Badger” was not as excited about the second half of the match, especially with the individual mistakes made by his students. Dan Petrescu wanted to note the good evolution of Louis Munteanu, but said it was insufficient, implying that all the players had to do their job to win.

Dan Petrescu, words of praise for Louis Munteanu, after CFR Cluj – FCSB 2-2

Dan Petrescu wanted to highlight the good evolution of Louis Munteanubut also that of Simao Rocha, who made a surprising mistake on the goal scored by Alex Băluță, for 2-1. Petrescu was pleased with the play of his students, which he said had improved significantly since he took over the team in May.

“The first 60 minutes were almost perfect. FCSB had no shots, no chances, then came two personal fouls that you can’t coach. Simao played an extraordinary game, but he gave a goal pass to Băluță. 2-0 is the most dangerous score, I’ve always said it! Everyone on the bench was happy, but I wasn’t! After the 60th minute we had no more opportunities. Football is made of small details. I’m glad the team played football, especially after I came in May. The team had only 3 players who played football: Deac, Mogoș and Boben.

(no fouls in FCSB’s goals) They are two personal fouls, they happen at any level. FCSB are a good team, they made four changes and came over us. It’s normal for them to have their opportunities too.

(no regarding the lot, the play-off fight) I said it yesterday at the press conference. The number 1 objective is to qualify for the play-offs. I’m happy with the team and we have to qualify for the play-offs. It will be a big battle for the play-offs.

(no on Louis Munteanu) I’m sorry that his executions did not bring victory. He’s a special player and I’ve always said it. He has to stay grounded and he will have a wonderful career”, declared Dan Petrescu at Digi Sport.
