CFR Cluj: Mister statue
The last appearance of the Rapid with Marius Șumudică on the bench in front of their own supporters was a real nightmare for Giulesti fans. Rapid was shattered by a CFR Cluj who had just celebrated the winning of the Romanian Cup and had every reason to come as on a trip to Bucharest.
It wasn’t that at all. Despite the fact that they did not have Dan Petrescu, leaving Romania at a medical clinic abroad to find out exactly what Health problem hasthe Transylvanians played with much determination.
This explains their indisputable success, all the time imposing the rhythm of the game and leaving the impression that they would be the team that needs points. The score could have been much higher if the Aioan goalkeeper had not been able to stop other goals outside the four raised.
After the match, after a long time among the holders, one of the two veterans in the CFR group, Cristian Deac, as fresh at almost 40 years, explained from what his motivation and teammates came in the conditions in which the Romanian Cup objective had been met. Here’s what he said at Digi Sport
« I came with the thought of winning, it saw this from the first minute. We were very concentrated, very confident that we can finish the 2nd place. This was our goal from the moment we missed the champion.
Considering that I won the cup, I think, one after the other, it was a good year. A year in which I formed a beautiful team, which plays football, which creates many opportunities. The only regret is that we did not beat the championship longer. At CFR, there are 30 players, we are of close values. It’s hard for Mister to choose the first 11 when we’re all healthy.
I think any coach wants to have headaches when aligning the first 11. Tonight, I played for mystery. Does not go through the best times. We are with him, I played for him.
We are with him with the thought and heart and we are waiting for him as soon as possible. This man deserves the statue. Just see football, live for football, do not see anything other than football down the hat. He is a man who eats football on bread. ”
