Kurt Zouma, a former Champions League winner with Chelsea, gave a statement at the end of the match Petrolui Ploiesti – CFR Clujscore 1-0, from round 13 of the Superliga.
It was the first match in which Zouma started, since arriving in Gruia. He was on the field until the 85th minute, when he was replaced by Fică, at a time when Transylvania were leading.
He said that in Romania the level of football is good and he surprised when he said what the goal of the CFR is: the title of champion. Mandorlini's team is in 11th place, with 13 points.

“There's nothing you can do when you score from a deflection, that's football. It's not just about defending, it's about the whole team. We have to improve on that. Let's get our ranks together and start winning games.
Anything is possible. We didn't start well, but there is still time, we have to be like a family and win matches, we have quality.
I am one hundred percent. It's a good championship, good football is played. There are strong matches, as it was today. We focus on each individual match. We want to win the title, this is the goal at CFR Cluj”, said Kurt Zouma, at Prima Sport.
I thought it was offside on goal, but that's football. We have to work and give our best. I work every day with the team, I would say I am at 100%. It's my first match. I have to get better.
It's a good league, but we're CFR and we have to do better. It's normal to be irritated. We want to do everything for victory.
We have to work harder and play better because we are CFR. We still have a chance to win the title. I don't understand what's wrong. We have to work, win because victories bring self-confidence. That's what I think is missing.
