Victor Angelescu, the minority shareholder of Rapidspoke for the first time about the failure of his team on the field of CFR Clujscore 0-3, in the 17th stage of the Superliga. He recognized the superiority of the vice-champion and stated that, for the first time, a team was superior to Giulești this season.
Andrei Cordea, with a “double”, and Korenica scored for Daniel Pancu's team. Angelescu spoke about Daniel Pancu and his experiences on the sidelines. In his view, the Transylvanian coach should be more temperate in his reactions, to avoid possible red cards.
The two know each other very well from the time they worked at Rapid, and the shareholder of the Superliga leader had only words of praise for the technician from Gruia.
Victor Angelescu, after CFR Cluj – Rapid 3-0: “The only thing I can say about Pancu”
Angelescu believes that Rapid played an “execrable” second half, taking into account the three goals conceded.
“You can't like it, we lost a derby, we lost and we have nothing to comment on. CFR was clearly better, we lost deservedly. We have to learn from these things, we know that this is not the real face of the team.
It's bad news for us that they appointed Pancu as coach a little while ago, they have a very good team, a team with a play-off team, we knew they were very good. Unfortunately, we had an execrable second half.
There are some things you don't understand. We have to get used to playing the way we used to from the 1st place.
It's the first time I can say that a team deservedly beat us, that it dominated us. It's a lesson, we have to stay calm and win the next match. It is clear that we have good things to improve.
The only thing I can say about Pancu, after working with him and knowing him very well, is that, although he is now the CFR coach and he beat us, I cannot say that he is theatrical. Pancu doesn't do theatrical things on the bench; he loads up.
I've told him so many times that if there's anything he should master better, it's his emotions. He has some reactions on the bench that he cannot control.
It's a good thing on the one hand, but at the same time, you have to manage certain things, otherwise you risk getting red cards”, said Angelescu, according to primasport.ro.
