“Let him take up ping-pong, it was paddle / I offer to check him in”

Rapid fans have largely lost hope that the team will qualify for the quarter-finals. To move on, Costel Gâlcă's team must win against CFR Cluj in the last round.

After the failure with Argeș, the supporters from Giulești targeted Leo Bolgado, who received a red card in the second half, for a foul from the position of the last defender on Caio.

The supporters also criticized Kramer, the other starting stopper in the Argeș match, the author of a big blunder before Bolgado was sent off. Kramer wanted to reject a ball with his chest, but failed and redirected it to Caio, which is why the Brazilian from Arges was not flagged for offside, even though he was behind the line.

The fans of Rapid went wild after the failure with FC Argeș in the Romanian Betano Cup

Fans reacted harshly on social networks, with the two stoppers being considered the main culprits for the failure:

• “Out came the cough (Bolgado) and in came the knife (Ciobotariu)… Bolgado – 2 goals, red, full tackle”;

• “I offer to pay for a plane ticket for Bolgado to Cluj, one-way. If you give me your personal data, I'll also check him in. I've never seen such a weak central defender in League 1”;

• “A match lost exclusively by the two central defenders. We were also unlucky…But in defense Kramer and Bolgado were a nightmare. It was normal for it to be a balanced match, but that red cut all our momentum. We are moving forward, that's it, it's a difficult moment, but we have to stay strong”;

• “Too bad you made fun of the Cup. We've been doing that for 4 years”;

• “Backs, disaster. Inexplicable Kramer today”;

• “Leo Bolgado to take up ping-pong – it was a racket. He ate our match”;

• “I don't understand Gâlcă why he kept insisting with Bolgado, it can be seen from a post that Ciobotariu is over him”;

• “That's it. The boys are weak. The ranking is a lie”;

• “Bolgado takes CFR further!”;

• “Bolgado and Kramer had red from the start of the match, we played without them.”
