SuperLiga: Iuliu Mureșan announced what goal Daniel Pancu has at CFR Cluj: “I would be unrealistic to say that”

Iuliu Mureșan, the president of the CFR Cluj club, announced that the objective of Daniel Pancu, the new coach of the team from Gruia, will be to win the Romanian Cup.

CFR Cluj is in 13th place in the SuperLiga, with only 13 points halfway through the regular season, 9 lengths behind the team in 6th place, the last one that ensures presence in the play-offs, currently occupied by Oțelul Galați.

Iuliu Mureșan: “Daniel Pancu's goal at CFR Cluj is the Romanian Cup”

Instead, the Transylvanians debuted with a decisive victory in the groups of the Romanian Cup, 4-0 against CSM Slatina, and Mureșan believes that his team can defend the trophy won in the previous season. Metaloglobus and Rapid are the other opponents in Group A.

“The boss said he needed men at the club, so I said to bring a male coach and I thought about him. I was certainly not wrong. It is very important that he agreed to come at a difficult time, because he assumes some things. Together we assume.

I'll be by his side anyway, behind him, wherever he wants. I hope that together we will make a decision for the team, because this trend does not honor us. Since 2001, the CFR has not been so bad, it has never happened that the CFR is in such a hole.

The objective is the Romanian Cup, clear. In the championship it is difficult, I would be unrealistic to say that we win the championship. I wish we were in the play-offs. We will strive there to be in 2-3 places, although it is a long distance. I would hate to have the emotions of the play-out.

I would like us to be, we will try to be in the play-offs, there is another comfort there. I was in the play-out once. Then I had no emotions. If in the play-out you catch a period like CFR caught now, you have cleaned yourself”, declared Iuliu Mureșan, according to gsp.ro.

For CFR Cluj, the match with Unirea Slobozia follows. The SuperLiga game, stage #16, will take place on Sunday, from 14:30.
