How Elias Charalambous and Dan Petrescu prefaced the Romanian Super Cup
Elias Charalambous (44 years old) prefaced the match with CFR Cluj and talked about how he thinks he will look like the new season.
“It is a new challenge for us tomorrow, to start the season with a trophy. The trophies are in the DNA of this club, I hope to start the season well, with a victory. We are prepared for this match, even if, during this period, no team is 100%, and that is normal. It applies to both teams.
Players are prepared and I hope to start the season with a trophy, just like last year. The fact that Bîrligea will play is an advantage. The best thing for us, the coaches, is to have as many players available as possible, to have viable solutions. Bîrligea and Alibec can play together, why not? They are players with different profiles.
We know the people from CFR Cluj, as they know us. We do not expect many changes on their part to the last confrontation. As usual, it will be a hard match. The duels with CFR Cluj are always balanced and decided by details, “said Elias Charalambous.
On the other side, Dan Petrescu spoke about the problems that his team has.
“No matter what happens, we have five important players absent. But that is not an excuse. We came to win, as always. Munteanu came late, is not prepared. Korenica is suspended, Simao is injured, Matei is not prepared, and Nkololo is injured. Five players will not be very important. Certainly, everything is possible to win, “said Dan Petrescu.
