“It wasn't just the coach to blame, there's an attitude problem in the club! Daniel should think carefully”

The former Romanian international warned Daniel Pancu about the difficulty of the position and the fact that the team is in a crisis from which they must escape as quickly as possible. Ioan Andone also suggested that at CFR Cluj it's not just a coaching problem, but an attitude problem.

• CSM Slatina – CFR Cluj, duel in the groups of the Betano Romanian Cup, was scheduled today from 18:30. The duel will be liveTEXT on GSP.ro and televised by PrimaSport 1 and DigiSport 1.

Ioan Andone reacted after learning that Daniel Pancu is close to CFR Cluj: “Many things are happening that are not right there. They are tired of too much money they have earned”

“The news is interesting. Daniel should think carefully. If you lose two, three matches, it's hard to get the team out of the crisis it is. The CFR is in a crisis. I don't know if only the coach was to blame. Mandorlini was a slanderous coach. Dan Petrescu, the coach with whom the championship started, is one of the most important coaches in Romania and the world knows that he was doing exceptional physical training. In the summer, the team did a good preparation.

It's a problem of attitude, of trust in the club. There's a lot going on that isn't right there. High salaries. Tired of too much money they've earned, you can't take what's there. Daniel must think that it will not be easy for him.

He must evaluate the batch very well. To see who when they leave, maybe some people don't care anymore. Maybe some have made plans to leave in the winter. Tmust be a very good defensive organization, not to concede a goal. This is the first, other things come later. They get goals from the school yard, it is not possible for a club that fought only for the title to reach this level, to be the center of the fights. The coach changes and what? And what? Let Daniel Pancu take care.

First and foremost the resume doesn't play. They must seek to solve problems. I can tell you what I see on TV. I've been a coach for 25 years, I've been through this, what can you do? He reaches and assesses. If it arrives, they haven't put it on yet. I wish him luck. We give him new advice in vain.

You have to talk to foreigners with good CVs, see what their situation is. After that talk to the Romanian veterans, Camora, Deac. They are legends, they have participated in all the trophies, they know the situation. Don't think that Deac and the Camora don't know what's out there. Pancu has to take information from everyone. He is helped by the results, if he gets them quickly.

Money is important. Very important for the player to be calm and focus only on football. There is a lot of work there. Muresan knows the club well. Neluțu Varga wanted Muresan for a long time, as far as I know, there is no offer now. I don't know why Cristi left, but I know that he offered Iuliu Muresan several times“, Ioan Andone transmitted on the Liga Digisport show.
