Gigi Becali's team will send you from the first minute, according to the patron, an “11” that will not include Daniel Bîrligea and Florin Tanase, two of the most formists of the champion. The champion will not be able to rely on Adrian Şut, Valentin Crețu and Joyskim Dawa, with medical problems. Risto Radunovic is not one hundred percent either.
