Aurel Țicleanu (66 years old), former Romanian international, had a harsh speech at CFR Cluj, criticizing Dan Petrescu's students, for how they shown in Bucharest, from the 5th stage of the Superligii Play-off, lost score 2-3.

CFR Cluj seemed to take control of the game and was in control, but received a goal from nowhere before the break, when Cisotti scored. Gradually, CFR disappeared from the field, and the second half was a nightmare for Petrescu's students.

Even though the elimination of Mihai Popescu could be reborn the hopes of the CFR, this did not happen, and the end of Louis Munteanu, for 3-2, was insufficient, FCSB detached at the head of the ranking at 5 points by CFR and 6 by Craiova University.

Aurel Țicleanu destroyed CFR Cluj:

“Before the match you thought CFR would play above, an offensive structure, and you wondered who is empty. Louis Munteanu had not scored 5-6 stages, but it is the championship goalscorer, these are the matches that take you to the national team. You score two goals as it did against the FCSB, the best defense, these are the best defense.

He took advantage, his bravo, now I come and talk about the entire CFR team. The idea is that you go away, give two goals and do not return with any point. You are a team that calls yourself CFR Cluj, you had a defense, you played through the European cups, they didn't open those. According to me, there are some extraordinarily big mistakes, some mistakes, they received 3 goals, it was 3-0, we were looking and we couldn't believe it.

FCSB did not make a match that would be the difference. Somewhere I think CFR has wrong and strategy, you don't go so high. I was talking about respect. If they had respected the FCSB more, they would have been on their tail and would not have received so many goals, maybe they would have turned. But look, the championship was broken at the moment, ”said Aurel Țicleanu, at the first sport.
