Costel Gâlcă, statements before Steel – Rapid
A difficult match awaits us, for a team that runs a lot. In all the matches they made an advanced pressing, they were aggressive, the team that made two draws, a defeat and a victory. They were close to the Lighthouse to take an equal. I told the players that it is important every match. Each match is different and we must be focused, respect our opponents outside the field, and in the field to impose our game.
