CS Mioveni won the first match of this league season at home (1-0 against Petrolul Ploiești) and coach Nicolae Dike talked about how the game looked and also the good match played by goalscorer Bohdan Rusu.

Nicolae Dike considers himself the right man to save CS Mioveni: “If I came here, it means I can do it”

Bohdan Rusu’s goal earned CS Mioveni victory against play-off contenders Petrolul Ploiești, but Nicolae Dică remains grounded after a thrilling debut for Argeş.

“A great victory for the morale of the boys, for what will come. We started well, I scored, we had good possession, we didn’t give them much trouble in the first half.

In the second half, we played steadily, but we retreated a little because we have the advantage. And “Petrol” changed the system, 4-4-1-1. We created a few moments for ourselves, they were also there, but in general I am satisfied with the mood of the players and the fight on the field.

If I came here, then I think I can do it. I believe in what I’m working on day by day, I believe in the players who have been here and the newcomers, we have to give ourselves in every match.

We showed that we are not a weak team, but a good team that can fight with others. We pressed a lot, we took away a lot of balls, I was also afraid that we would drop physically, that some players had only arrived 5-7 days ago, but we had a good game.”

“Dikanio” did not forget about the three-pointer Bohdan Rusa, who, in his opinion, is a vital player for CS Mioveni.

“I am happy for him, he is an important player for the team, he showed it before he went to FCSB, he also helped the team in Ligue 2. I spoke with him, I trust him completely and I hope he will help us reach our goal.

I’m a coach who loves discipline and work, I followed those two principles as a player as well and that’s what I do as a coach wherever I go and I also pass that on to the players.” Dika told Digi Sport.
