Daniel Bîrligea (25 years old), FCSB striker, and Mihai Popescu (32), central defender, warned their colleagues before The match with Unirea Sloboziawhich will be played from 9:30 pm, in round 5 of the Superliga.
The victory against Drita ended a shameful series of 4 failures in a row. Daniel Bîrligea told his colleagues that he must enter the maximum in each match, and no one will be able to overcome them.
VIDEO. Daniel Bîrligea, before the duel with Unirea Slobozia: “We are trying to cope on both fronts”
“We have many players who can cope with the championship and in Europe and we have to divide, to keep energy because we currently need quality, and victories in the champion.
After you take the necessary advance it is difficult to stop. Currently, I was in a harder time, after holidays and great euphoria. We try to balance ourselves immediately and be. Anyone can pose problems, but I think if we enter focus and with the correct attitude in any match nobody can put us problems, unless we are focused.
I think it does not necessarily matter where you play the matches, you may have small advantages when you know the stadium, the atmosphere, but the bigger difference is if the lands are very different. But both stadiums (no Steaua and National Arena) are beautiful, they have beautiful grass. It is not a great difficulty in playing on two similar stadiums, ”said Daniel Bîrligea, for Sport Content EAD.
VIDEO. Mihai Popescu, about the match with Unirea Slobozia: “It is mandatory to take the 3 points”
Mihai Popescu has attracted the attention of the teammates about the fact that the whole team is responsible for receiving a goal, not just the defensive footballers.
“We need points in the championship, we did not start very well, as in Europe we did not have good results.
We can call it a crisis, there were a few matches in a row in which we had no victories. We need to tie good matches, with victories, if possible. That's what we try. Probably mentally it was, probably it is still, we try to get out of this moment. The victories get us out of here. Last season was almost perfect, I say I could go further to Europe.
There is no point in talking. We have only one match in which we have not received a goal, it is hard. The whole team is affected by receiving a goal, it is a collective thing. We have to defend ourselves, my colleagues know this. We talked before each match not to receive a goal, unfortunately we did not adjust this, ”said Mihai Popescu, for Sport Content EAD.
