What did Elias Charalambous and Andrea Mandorlini before CFR Cluj – FCSB

It is a difficult time, but I am pleased that I have taken a positive result on Thursday night. We had a little time for specific workouts, but it's a hard match tomorrow and we have to give everything.

Heavy party with FCSB. It will be a hard match for us, but also for them. I want to take advantage of the opportunity and congratulate them on the qualification in groups on both FCSB and Craiova, two Romanian teams who have managed to reach the group phases.

Let us not forget that CFR Cluj is 20 years old in which he played in Europe! We do not like that we did not qualify there, but we will focus on where the CFR is where it is. I congratulate both teams again! I promise that we have the ambition to return where we want.

– Andrea Mandorlini

CFR started the season like us, not very good. The European matches were the reason why I didn't start so well. Now they have another coach with a different game style. We analyzed their last two matches, it will be difficult, but we will give everything to win the 3 points.

We have to take things step by step, we like to dream, but we have to be modest. We must look at the reality, take step by step. No one knows how far we can get. We have high expectations, but we need to know who we are. We will try to get as far as possible. We need to win the championship again. It is very important to start winning points.

We didn't start the season very well, but we know very well that we have the quality to improve. The Romanian championship is difficult, some teams are better this year. We do not focus on opponents, we have to do our job well. The priority is to improve ourselves, both individually and as a team.
