The head coach of Dinamo Bucharest, Ovidiu Burca, has summed up the results of his team's friendly against Dynamo Kyiv (1-4), which took place yesterday in Austria.
Ovidiu Burke"We played against a very good team. Last season we played in the second division, but now we understand that we will face opponents with a completely different qualification. We are still far away from that level, from that kind of football, but it only encourages us to work with even more dedication. We must move forward.
Today we saw the realities that await us in the new season. It was a real cold shower. But it did us good: only in such matches can you clearly see some things that clearly show what steps must be taken in your work in the first place.
The meeting with Mircea Lucescu's team meant a lot to me. He's been encouraging me all the time, we've been talking a lot recently. I'm glad I was able to play against him. This coach is a brand name, a specialist of a very different level.
I agree with Lucescu that today on the pitch we respected the opponents too much. We need to learn to be more cheeky in the game! Maybe I have some questions about refereeing, but the main thing is that today we played against a team of a very different level compared to ours. But there is something good in every failure, and from every defeat we can learn something that will help us win," Burke said after the match with Dynamo Kyiv.
