We remind you that, in the second preliminary round of the UEFA Europa League, Corvinul Hunedoara will meet Rijeka, the vice-champion of Croatia.
“Probably the fear of success also had its say. I want to thank the guys for what they did on the tour, but there is a big difference from how they looked on the tour and now. It was normal to come out more apprehensive, but I thought that this apprehension would pass going into the match. They pressed, we closed well, we had our good moments, we could score from set pieces. On construction I can say that we were non-existent and I don’t mind a bit. We could have shown more, the opponent was not in an extraordinary form either. We were a little afraid, we are learning. I am more than happy, but there are things to improve.
We didn’t know how to react, after the goal we gave the ball to the opponents. I hope we learn from this. There are times when you have to manage such moments. It’s not easy, we have to stick to the plan. We knew they were going to play with two strikers, that we had to collect more. I find it hard to believe that we can’t react. What’s worse, no one reacts. And after the goal we could manage differently. I started and gave them the ball to score the second goal.
We are certainly meeting an opponent of a different caliber, they fought in the championship. It’s a team with well-rated footballers, with very high salaries. We defend our chance, I hope we play good matches. I get inspiration from everywhere, I don’t like to copy, I have to adapt what I learn. We do good things, experience is gained, we have to go through such moments”, said Florin Maxim, at the end of the game with Paksi.
Sergiu Buș has faith in the team prepared by Florin Maxim
Sergiu Buș, striker who arrived at Corvinul Hunedoara this summer, after playing for Poli Iași last season, was extremely confident at the end of the game with Paksi.
“I had a very good training with those from Hunedoara, I decided very quickly to come here, even if there were proposals from League 1. I liked the challenges, and this discomfort gives me the pleasure of playing. Here is a wonderful project with wonderful people and we managed to pass the first round. The group makes the difference, the boys won the Romanian Cup because of this.
Me and Roger came to the team, there were only two changes, we folded on the style of play. We have to raise the level and help our teammates”, said Sergiu Buș.
Alexandru Neacșa, the player from Corvinul Hunedoara, is aware that his team will meet a much more difficult opponent in the second preliminary round of the UEFA Europa League.
“It was a contested double leg, I think the more pragmatic and better team qualified. We wanted to win at home, but it seems that the opponent analyzed us, pushed with two spikes and managed to surprise us. I try to do my job in whatever position the coach puts me. I want to help this team. We held on to the ball, we were pragmatic, we qualified, no easy feat for a League 2 team. We are going to enjoy. Somehow my career went into a shadow cone a few years ago. I met people who changed my point of view, I changed.
We have to level up with Rijeka, it’s good we got this cold shower. We’re up against a different caliber of opponent, we want to get a good result next Thursday and qualify, we’re trying that. We want to go as far as possible”, said Alexandru Neacșa.
