What did Elias Charalambous say before Rapid – FCSB
We are ready for a difficult match. We always look at us only. This is the most important.
I don't think about the opponent, I always think of my team. We start the second part of the play-off and the most important thing is to win points. We want to play a beautiful football, but now the most important thing is to take the 3 points.
We only care about our team. I don't know how the opponent is, I don't know how to prepare. We trained well, we are focused and prepared. I don't know what this match for Rapid means, I just know what it means to us. We know that for fans it is very important to win. We need to be focused in the best form to win. We don't think about anything else. We need to take the three points. But in football any can happen
What did Marius Șumudică say before Rapid – FCSB
A derby, a match with the team from the first place. We must prove that what happened was an accident and that our value is different. We have prepared this match for victory, we hope to win it. There are 15 points left in the game and we hope to take as much as possible to reach the 4th place.
Look at me, how do I feel? I feel very good! I am very good, I trust the team and I strongly believe that tomorrow we will be able to win, that is my opinion. What discussions were within the group, I think the boys are 100% prepared and they will give the best
