Ionuț Rada, the former central defender from Rapid, CFR Cluj and FCSB, drew an alarm signal before the matches of the Romanian teams in the preliminary round 3 of the European Cups.
CFR Cluj, Craiova University and U Cluj play tonight for accessing in preliminary round. CFR comes across Lugano in the Europa League. The match in Gruia will start at 8:30 pm. In the tour it was 0-0.
Craiova will play the second sleeve with Sarajevo from 20:30, in the preliminary round of Conference League, in Bănie. It was 1-2 in Bosnia. In the same phase of the competition, U Cluj – Ararat Armenia also takes place. The match will start at 20:00. In the first leg was 0-0.
Ionuț Rada, former player with 16 matches in the Champions League, believes that the 3 Romanian teams must be connected to the stakes of the parties in order to qualify. He also noticed that, like FCSB, players from Craiova, CFR and U Cluj have physical problems.
Ionuț Rada: “I was looking at the teams that play in the preliminary tours and they look very bad from a physical point of view”
“Not only at FCSB there are physical problems. I was looking at the teams that play in the preliminary tours and they look very bad from this point of view. I do not know if all the coaches have prepared so, so that the level is lower and reach an optimal level in September or October.
But the rhythm, aggression, reaction are very cumbersome. All 4 can be seen. They are our teams, which represent us, but they had a heavy game. At U Cluj I saw Sabău's concern. It was a somewhat positive result with Lugano, but it takes a lot more to qualify, talking about CFR. Craiova comes after a negative result.
If the players and the technical staff do not go the same line, it will be very difficult. It must understand that besides the tactic, it must be a desire. Be connected there. And from a physical point of view, there are things you cannot do from one day to another, ”said Ionuț Rada, for GSP.
