Victor Angelescu, minority shareholder and president of Rapid, reacted after draw “white” obtained by Giulești away from FC Botoșani, a match in which Claudiu Petrila was the author of a monumental misses.
In the 20th minute of the match, the ball reached Petrila, who had the entire goal in front of him, but the winger of Rapid sent an incredible shot wide. Despite the goalless draw, Rapid remains the leader in the Superliga, with 39 points, two more than FC Botoșani.
Angelescu reiterated that Rapid wants to make two transfers in the winter mercato period, an offensive midfielder, but also a striker, considering the fact that Antoine Baroan was excluded from the team by Constantin Gâlcă for indiscipline.
Victor Angelescu remained a mask after the chance wasted by Claudiu Petrila: “100% it's the loss of the championship”
“A difficult match, it's a point won considering that Botosaniul was the team that played the best at home. The disappointment remains that we had four chances at home. A draw is good, that's it.
(no about Petrila's miss) 100% is missing the championship, that's it, what to do? I had the first three misses last year as well. Let's hope the bad luck breaks in this match.
I had great opportunities after that as well. It's a point won on the road, we stay in first place and we have to win at home with the Steel. You saw, it came out 0-0. I had many opportunities. They also had in the second half, but after the new opportunities we clearly deserved to beat.
We have to win with Oțelul, we must win at home, let the fans come, get the three points and then we will focus on the derby. It's good to be happy at the end.
We would like to finish the first 20 stages in first place. We are looking for an offensive midfielder, a striker, at least two transfers to make, and depending on what happens with the players until then”, Victor Angelescu told Prima Sport.
