Rapid won the first leg of the return, score 2-0, at home, against FC Argeș, and became the leader again in the Superliga, with 35 points.
The midfielder of Argeşe, Vadim Rață (32 years old), drew conclusions after the defeat suffered by “Giulești” and had only words of praise for the team prepared by Constantin Gâlcă (53 years old).
Vadim Rață: “It quickly seems to me like the CFR from the good years”
Vadim Rață compared Rapid's game with CFR's game from the years when the Transylvanians were Romanian Champions:
“We're a bit upset, in the second half we controlled the game better and created chances, but then comes that goal that ruined our chances.
It quickly seems to me like the CFR of the good years, when it defended well and scored at the first opportunity. It was like that today, it was like that at our house.
The first goal was a beautiful goal created by them, hats off! We analyzed Rapid before and we saw that they create moments like that, we had to be more prepared.
The second goal was an individual mistake, but it can happen to anyone,” Rața told Prima Sport.
The midfielder was impressed by the atmosphere in Giulesti: “Rapid impressed me: opponents who give their lives on the field”
The former FCSB player praises the atmosphere in Giulesti:
“We also started the championship round with three tough games, but every game has three points at stake. We have to manage them well, analyze and take our chances and today we had them.
Yes, Rapid impressed me! And the stadium, and the supporters who push them from behind, but especially their attitude. They give their lives on the pitch and are hard to beat“, said the Moldovan midfielder.
