10 conclusions, “hot”, immediately after FCSB – CFR Cluj 3-2 in the 5th round of the superliged play-off.
1. FCSB – CFR Cluj spoke to us in the first half about suffering and powerlessness better than Nietzsche, there were 40 unbearable minutes.
2. The champion was so modest that he was bored with the CFR defenders, tricked by the circuit Şut-Cisotti. Otherwise, the guests created 3 chances in the first part, none big, none FCSB.
3. Look at everything! The second act made all the money: 4 goals, a red card, a penalty, show, monumental errors, suspense. FCSB opens the blade and cuts when it is, is safe in inferiority, you see the European experience, not just the wear of the 20 continental matches.
4. Mihai Popescu deserves a fine for what he did in the 65th minute, when he decided to defend his team in 10 people 3-1, not in 11.
5. Even though CFR was not mattered in superiority and has only woke up in extensions.
6. With a pioneze attack, FCSB confirms a cliché: Defense wins trophies. The champion is not kept behind by the attackers, by Bîrligea's goals, by the brilliance of a star in the middle. Not. Târnovanu, defensive defenders and midfielders – they endured the moments in “10”, the small play -off champion, from the first half with CFR.
FCSB – CFR Cluj is over 3-2
7. I take the interventions of Ngezana, Tanase's pass for Cisotti, the Italian demarcations, the scheme from Chiricheș's emptiness.
8. Cluj has been transformed, now he receives goals from Auto, from the corner. The defenders no longer make fortresses, they are laughing. Petrescu asks his footballers to attack, the offensive is clearly superior compared to the 5-year CFR, the defense weakened. The budget is optimized, but the club does not conquer titles, no longer performing in Europe.
9. Judging by FCSB laws – we cut and hang, then analyze -, Gheorghiță is a missed transfer. If it does not start urgently to produce, it will leave for the end of the championship.
10. FCSB puts 5 points between her and CFR and is a champion (at least) Easter, a refrain from the times. The red-blue would be in advantage and equal to the “railway”, so the direct match of the last stage could be played for nothing. Cluj seems to have left the race for the first place.
