FCSB – CFR Cluj 3-2. The red-blue technician, Elias Charalambous (44 years old), highlighted the strength of his team at the fixed phases and the work that his footballers do for the road to a new champion title.
FCSB could impose itself much easier in confrontation with CFR, but the elimination of Mihai Popescu, from the 65th minute, has confused their plans. Louis Munteanu scored two goals, in minutes 67 (penalty) and 90+7, but the double of Cisotti (41, 63) and “Torpila” to Chiricheș (56) distanced FCSB to five points by CFR.
Elias Charalambous, after FCSB – CFR Cluj 3-2: “My players work a lot”
“Football is very unpredictable. The two goals in the second half were not enough to have a quiet match. I had great emotions and finally. With an empty difference on the table, whatever can happen.
I had the feeling that at the second goal of CFR, their player influenced Târnovanu's view. I'll go again to see the phase.
The fixed phases for us are very important. It has been seen today how much we work on this compartment. Both defensive and offensive, we prepare the corners and free hits a lot.
My players work hard and this is seen in the standings. Cisotti is a very important player for us. It's the kind that can be decisive for the team even when it doesn't mark.
Gheorghiță plays better in the tape, but today we had to improvise because of Bîrligea's absence. At Mihai Popescu it was only a momentary reaction. I can't be upset about him or tell him something bad. I also played football and I know what it is. In that fraction of a second you have to think quickly, “said Elias Charalambous, at the first sport.
