Costel Gâlcă (53 years old), the coach of Rapid, drew the first conclusions after his team drew with the score of 0-0 Friday nighton the move, on the field of those from the University of Cluj. He believes that the Giulesti were deprived of a penalty, would have been worth the victory, then talked about the transfers he wants to the team, an aspect on which he has been insisting lately.
The technician of Bucharest was declared satisfied with the attitude shown by his students and believes that Rapid should have had 4 points more at this time. His students missed the chance to climb, at least provisionally, in the first place, over the University of Craiova, who has a match at this stage with the Lighthouse.
After saying he wanted a midfielder and an attacker, Gâlcă smiled and thanked for the interview, although the impression was that he would have been asked other questions.

“The match was very balanced, we had clearer opportunities, In my opinion I also had a penalty. Too bad that the players had a very good attitude, they were very good in the field and we could not take the 3 points. I liked the personality, the attitude, I knew that the match would not be easy, they managed these moments, we had to win this match.
Our team has grown a lot in the last two matches, with personality, I think we had to have 4 points more at this time.
From my point of view we need a midfielder, an striker, I said and I will repeat. Thank you! ”, Said Gâlcă, at the flash-intervium at the end of the match, at the Digi Sport microphone.

I think I started the match well. A good team, the matches with them are always difficult, you have to kill the match, we had to go empty. It was good to have been in the first place, at least provisionally, because the people from Craiova had a hard match. We see how we handle the next stage with Hermannstadt. We have a different team compared to last season, we are more united, we didn't lose, we started the championship well. I think the fans helped me a lot, the club trusted me, a great opportunity to play at Rapid.

We can say that we are satisfied with a point, because we played away, but I think I could more this evening. We could do more on the attack phase, we defended ourselves well, but unfortunately we did not score.
We have a good start, if we won today we were going to first, it was an important stake, we wanted to be there, but that's it, now we only think about the next match. If we take after today's match we have to improve the attack phase, in defense it was very good, we are glad that we did not get empty.
We have a good team, it is early to talk about the title, we have always been as close as possible, but something did not go out. I want to score at every match, to help my team.
