The champion with Rapid “scanned” the team of Șumudică and named the indispensable footballer: “they are missing, it was essential”

Dulca believes that Rapid is in the goal, although “it could be better”, and says that Șumudică lacks a peak of Albion Rrahmani's value, transferred in August 2024 to Sparta Prague.

VIDEO. Cristi Dulca, at GSP Live: “Rapid can win the cup”

“We expect Rapid – FCSB to be an interesting match, even if Rapid doesn't look great now, I don't know why … Rapid has a good history in direct matches with FCSB. I couldn't give a forecast though.

It is clear that the main objective of the Rapid is currently winning the Romanian Cup, but also the FCSB duel is important for them and especially for supporters. Playing in Giulești, we know it will be a match.

Rapid can win the cup, even if the match with Hermannstadt will not be easy, as not their last game in Sibiu. Moreover, it is somewhat ironic that Sibiu have a rapist coach and a rapid president“, Cristi Dulca said, at GSP Live.

Marius Măldărășanu would be worth taking over the rapid in the future, he demonstrated what he can in Hermannstadt. He's a very good coach

“Șumudică did well at Rapid”

Questioned about the mandate of Marius Șumudică in Giulești, Dulca commented as follows:

“The balance of Marius Șumudică to Rapid is positive. I think their main goal was access to the play-off, and the adjacent goals are achievable. Here I mean, for example, to the qualification in the final of the Romanian Cup.

If we draw the line, we see that he made things go well for Rapid, even though some games were below expectations. The fact that they have a chance to win the Romanian Cup and play in Europe is a plus.

I do not know if Șumudică will remain in Giulești if he does not meet his goals, he will probably leave on his own initiative.

As for the lot and place in the standings, I think it could be better. I am sorry that Albion Rrahmani left, it was essential. It seems to me that such a player is missing the Rapid: An attacker to mark you on the treadmill”.

18 goalsIn 29 matches he registered Rrahmani at Rapid. The current Giulesti attackers are Koljic, Burma and Ankeye

As a player, when you meet teams like FCSB, Dinamo or Craiova, you do not think about points or championship, you only think about the game then. These meetings will always be derby, I remember when we played with Steaua in the 2000s …
