Adrian Mutu announces show at FCSB – Rapid

Bucharest “Rapid” lost to “University of Craiova” at home, although Adrian Mutu’s pupils had almost half the numerical advantage.

Despite this, Oltenians showed presence of mind and left Julesti with all 3 points.

At the end of the game, the technician from Giulesti summed up the failure, but also announced the performance in the match of the last stage against FCSB.

“It’s a strange evening. We played a good game in the first half. In the second half, after eliminating them, we made a mistake in defense.

Not sure why they stopped (not on Olten’s third goal). The referee could have stopped the phase because we had a player on the ground. The players from Craiova were able to show a fair game.

It was our mistake. It was a collective mistake. We are at the end of the season. There will be changes. We’ve already done the evaluation, we’re almost done.

Apart from that mistake in the second goal, we outplayed them. We need players who make a difference. When the team stops, it really worries me.

We will make changes. There is no point in talking about rejuvenation. A mistake cost us the second goal. I think we had a good match.

We are trying to win this game (not with FCSB). You know the rivalry between us and FCSB. It will be a spectacular match.” – Brylyantul broadcasts, Digi Sport reports.
