Dan Petrescu. It’s in the club’s DNA to always win trophies

The coach of the CFR Cluj football team, Dan Petrescu, said in a press conference on Tuesday that he hopes that his players will be motivated and make a big game in the final of the Romanian Cup in which they will meet FC Hermannstadt.

‘I do not know if it is appropriate to say that the season saves us, but this match is an important one. Because it is in the club’s DNA to always win trophies and if the championship has not been won it is normal for us to be a higher pressure, especially since Hermannstadt cannot participate in European cups. So it is clear that all the pressure in tomorrow’s match is on CFR Cluj. Now I hope the boys are motivated and make a big game tomorrow. Chances are 50-50%, in a final it is possible. Măldărășanu has proven that he is a very good and sure coach will reach further than where he is now, « said the technician.

‘What happened to the team in this season is not a great disappointment the loss of the title. I wanted to win the championship, but too many things did not go. This season I said that it would be good to focus on the cup, because we were not sure at the championship. Now for nothing you have reached the final if you do not win it. It would be good for everyone to win a trophy. But let’s not forget that the number one priority is to reach the Europa League, « he added.

Dan Petrescu mentioned that after the final he will take a few days off to carry out a series of medical investigations.

‘After this match I will take a break, I don’t know how many days, but I have to take care of myself. If it wasn’t such an important match I wouldn’t be here today. I hope to continue the coach, I do not want to leave, but it depends on what my health will say, « explained Petrescu.

The CFR Cluj football team meets the FC Hermannstadt band, on Wednesday, at 8:30 pm, on the ‘Francisc Neuman’ arena in Arad, in the final of the Romanian Cup.
