Former international Basarab Panduru (55 years old) is impressing with the yield given by the newly promoted FC Argeș in this season.
FC Argeș prevailed with a score of 1-0 on the field of Hermannstadt and climbed second in Superliga, with 22 points accumulated in the first 11 stages. Basarab Panduru made the Pitesti calculations: considering that they would be safe in the play-off with 42 points, they would need an average of 1.2 points per match in the remaining stages.
He also congratulated Bogdan Andone, the coach of Argeș, which he sees the main “guilty” for the very good situation in which the team is. He noted that the white-violets prevailed both on the field of FCSB and Gruia, the CFR House.
Basarab Panduru is impressed by FC Argeș: “They did not think they would get in this situation”
“What to say? It's a great madness what's at FC Argeş. They didn't think they would get in this situation, for 12 stages to make two points a match. If you need 44 points, you need in 19 stages of 1.2 points per match.
Argeş looks very good, gives goals on the go, beats at FCSB, beats at CFR, gives goals everywhere. Hermannstadt comes after the victory with Rapid, but also after the defeat with Slobozia, 0-2. It's the second match when you don't score at home.
I expected that after the match with Rapid something would happen. Bravo, Bogdan Andone! I do not think it is easy, ”said Basarab Panduru, according to orangesport.ro.
FC Argeş, let's not forget, is a newly promoted. We look at the standings, the other two are at the bottom of the standings. Bravo! Deserve. They have many goals scored. Sure, I can get fewer, but they also had a difficult program. Bravo leadership, bravo technical staff.
