CFR Cluj beat FC Voluntari – Adrian Mutu delighted with Ciprian Deak’s performance

After the defeat against FC Botosani, CFR Cluj won the first match with Adrian Mutu on the technical bench.

Transylvania capitalized on big defensive mistakes from the visitors, but they also enjoyed Ciprian Deak in fine form, contributing 3 of the 4 goals.

At the end of the game, Adrian Mutu drew some conclusions and praised the veteran Deak for a good performance.

“Debut with a win, so very good. I am satisfied with the attitude of the boys, I expected a reaction from them after the defeat against Botosani, and they got it. I knew FC Voluntari defend very well and also counter attack very well. So I had to be patient.

I think he is the most symbolic player of the CFR and we need someone to hold the flag high. Not only were we teammates in the national team, but we also played against him. I’m happy for him, he played well. He also needed this, this is another confirmation of his value.” – said Adi Mutu, reports Digi Sport.
