Laurentiu Corbu, after the stinging failure with Dinamo al Stella

Laurențiu Corbu (29 years old), one of the experienced players in the Star team, did not hide from saying things by name at the end of the match lost by no-show against Dinamo, on Monday evening, at the National Arena, in front of around 20,000 spectators .

Dinamo broke free at the end of the match of the 9th stage of the League 2 play-off and prevailed with the score of 3-0through the goals scored by Deniz Giafer (77′) and Lamine Ghezali (90+4′, 90+9′ – penalty), and the difference could be even bigger.

Laurentiu Corbu, after 0-3 with Dinamo: “Stinging result, I don’t know if it can be easily erased from history”

After the game, Corbu, a former footballer including at Dinamo, spoke about a stinging result that will not soon be forgotten in the history of the confrontations between the two great Bucharest rivals.

“The fans are always with us, regardless of the result, but this result is a stinging one, I don’t know if it can be easily erased from history.

It was a poor game from us, not necessarily in this game, but in the last few games, where we were quite low. It was also seen in Iasi, it is also seen now. We have five rounds without a win.

It’s a shame to lose to any team by such a score, no matter if it’s called Dinamo or if we’re playing any other team. In League 1, League 2, League 3, 3-0 is a stinging result”said Laurentiu Corbu on the DigiSport microphone.

The players, the main culprits for the team’s results: “We didn’t give 100 percent, we weren’t focused from start to finish”

The defender who also had a brief experience in Scotland at St. Mirren, who previously played in the first league for Chindia Târgoviște, does not believe that the current course of Stela is due to the fact that the team lost its compass after it became increasingly clear that it will not be promoted even at the end of this season, due to its form of organization, not for sporting reasons.

Corbu believes that the players are the main culprits, as they are no longer focused as they were in the regular season, when the team was mostly at the top of the standings.

“I don’t know if it is about the law or about certain information that has been circulated. I say it’s all from us. We didn’t give 100 percent, we weren’t focused from start to finish and it showed.

My opinion is that we lacked attitude. It’s not about the conditions, because they are sensational. It’s about us, everyone, how much everyone wants, how much we give in training, how much we give on the field, in the match, how much we try, how much we take risks. And if we don’t take it on, we hide, we…”commented Corbu.

Steaua, by far the weakest defense in the League 2 play-off

With eight goals conceded only in the last two matches, Steaua ended up having the weakest team in the play-offs, with a total of 16 goals conceded in nine games. At the end of the regular season, the team coached by Daniel Oprița he had 18 goals conceded in 19 games.

“You saw the last match, from Iasi. I took 5-1. Now three. In two matches we scored eight goals. From two matches, we clearly have the weakest defense”the defender motivated Stella’s poor performance.

The next ranked in the play-off with many goals conceded is SC Oțelul, with 12 goals conceded and has played one less match. Then comes Dinamo and Unirea Dej, both with 8 goals conceded. Poli Iași and Gloria Buzău have 7 each.

Laurentiu Corbu is at the end of his contract and says that he was not offered an extension

Arriving at Steaua at the beginning of the season, in the summer of 2022, Laurentiu Corbu concludes his contract at the end of the following month and does not know whether he will continue at the club from Ghencea or not, because until this moment he has not been offered an extension.

Corbu seemed affected when he was asked if he will continue at Steaua, because so far he has not been offered a new contract.

“I still have a contract until June 30, after which I am free. They didn’t offer me anything at all. I know absolutely nothing. When I came here we were told that we would have the right to promotion, before I signed, and unfortunately it didn’t happen, it couldn’t. I don’t know what will happen to the club, they will have to find a solution until the end, otherwise you can’t…”said Raven.

The player originally from Râncaciov, a village in Dâmbovița county, played for Steaua in 18 championship matches, in 15 of them as a starter.
