Bogdan Andone knows that Argeș will have a hard life with Csikszereda: “Perhaps the most important aspect is their homogeneity”
Bogdan Andone, the technician of the “violet vultures”, prefaced the duel against the up-to-day leader, anticipating a serious opposition from the great favorite to promotion:
“I don't think this is an additional motivation. It's an important game, as they are all in the play-off. We meet a strong, homogeneous team, which in the last two or three years has largely based on the same core of players. It is a well structured band for the level of the League 2, not by chance it is up there, in the standings.
We need to be focused on what we have to do, put pressure, force them to make mistakes and take advantage of those mistakes. Perhaps the most important aspect is their homogeneity. It is a team that last year played “dam”so the people there built well and took the right steps to get here.
Robert Ilyeș knows very well the level of the second league, has a game adapted to this echelon, with strong defensive players and in the middle of the field, but also with rapid and valuable footballers. It is a well-structured team and we have to be prepared for a difficult match, with moments of intense fighting ”, pointed out Bogdan Andone, according to arges-sport.ro.
It will be a match against an aggressive team, but the most important thing is what we do on the field. We must respect Mister's directions and I am convinced that we will come out victorious.

Robert Ilyes is cautious: “They have not lost 15-16 matches, it says a lot”
Here is what Robert Ilyeș, the coach of CSISKZEDEDA, said, before traveling with FC Argeș:
“We are expecting a much harder match. We know that they want direct promotion. Have a good team, they have not lost 15-16 matches, that says a lot about them. I hope we will be prepared from all points of view. It is very important for us to take points or points there.
We have a few injured players, but that doesn't influence our game. I count each of the players, they have all shown that we can rely on them. We go to FC Argeș with total confidence.

Mathematically, all teams still have a chance at promotion, even FC Voluntari, which is currently in the 6th place. That's why the matches are so balanced, concluded. No one risks too much and that's why we don't have spectacular matches. The tension is felt both in the field and on the bench, ”said Ileș, in the press conference preceding the match.
The up-to-date situation in the Play-off of League 2
The star is the only team without the right of promotion from the League play-off 2. The first two teams with the right to promote directly in the Super League, the next two will dispute a promotion dam. Currently, Steaua is on 2, which means that the team from 3rd will promote directly.
