Daniel Pancu, the former Romanian selection of U21, sees the podium at the end of the year made up of the University Craiova, Rapid and Dinamonot necessarily in this order.
“Pancone” also named U Cluj, Lighthouse or Steel Galati as potential suitors at the play-off places. He confesses that he has great confidence in Dinamo, emphasizing the constant good game of “dogs”. He is convinced that CFR will not miss the play-off and draw attention to some problems that FCSB can encounter during the championship.
Daniel Pancu: “I have great confidence in Dinamo. Rapid can finish above the 3rd place”
“I think the podium at Christmas, but not necessarily in this order, will be: Craiova, Rapid, Dinamo. U Cluj can appear nearby and, I do not know, there are teams, maybe the Lighthouse, the Galati steel.
I trust Dinamo, I am convinced. And they look great for the future, what they built there. They have a constant game, even if they still have syncope or negative results. Quick, if they move during this period, with two inspired transfers, they go even higher than 3 this year.
CFR, not being in the European Cups, I am convinced that it will be present in the play-off, even if you cannot speak the title now. It depends on how many points it will enter minus. The championship is long.
We tend, in Romania, to draw conclusions after 7-8 stages. There are 2 stages and a quarter of the play-off teams would barely run, and with one less for the play-out. There is also a transfer window, the teams can still be strengthened.
Only those from FCSB are forced to have a perfect route and have not yet played with U Cluj, Craiova University. He is waiting for heavy matches, plus those in the European cups. You do not know what Birligea's situation is, Alibec comes in after a long time, Thiam is taken out … There are problems there, I am.
