The sponsor of Poli Timişoara, Marian Iancu, says that only three players from this team can handle a match of Champions League
The clear defeat with Stuttgart upset Marian Iancu. The sponsor of Poli Timişoara thinks that for Poli it is better to go in the groups of Europe League than be open to ridicule in Champions League. "We are not ready for such matches! This is our value! Only two, three players from this team have demonstrated that they can play at this level, the rest showed their limits! We are going in UEFA groups, where we can face to!", said sorrowful Iancu.
"At the goal given by Hleb we were dreaming!"
Iancu didn’t spare at all his players. "At the first goal, Pantilimon hesitated and Marica obtained the penalty! What shall I say about the second goal? We took it in a perfect silence; everybody was dreaming and snoring, thinking at Champions League. I am affected, I don’t like to be humiliated, and tonight we were very close. However I think that we made something for this town when in 15 minutes after the end of the match there are ten thousand people who are still singing on the stands", concluded Iancu.
"There was a great difference between the two teams. It was very clear that the players from Poli do not have experience"
Răzvan Lucescu, spotter Romania
"It was clear that Timişoara lacks a creation player. The Germans have Hleb and this it was seen on the scoreboard"
Gabi Balint, former coach at Poli
"The players from Poli Timişoara evolved very baggy, and those from VfBne taxed immediately. The fans have to receive the greatest mark, because they behaved sensational"
Dumitru Dragomir, the president of LPF
"The qualification is not played and we have to treat the return match with much seriousness. I cannot realize if it would have been harder with Şahtior"
Thomas Hitzlsperger, midfielder VfB
"We were afraid of the adversaries. We were not aggressive because Bourceanu missed. At this level you are not allowed to say that some players are missing"
Ovidiu Sabău, coach at Poli
"It was quite difficult for us to integrate in the game. After we took the yellow card we played with moderation. Now we have to be realistic: our chances are almost null"
Dan Alexa, midfielder Poli
"Unfortunately for Poli we had a very good day and it was very difficult for them to make more. I wanted to score, but it is fine that I made that penalty"
Ciprian Marica, forward VFB
"There were three fatal minutes when the match was decided, but we still have chances to qualify, although they are very little"
