Ahead of the Europa League match with Feyenoord, Daniel Graovac gave an interview in which he talks about the important match with the Dutch, but also about the situation in which FCSB is at home.
“Feyenoord is a very big team. They also have the 3 points, so it will be the last chance to qualify for both us and them. I hope that we will have the best game in the last three months so that we will get all three points. There are three tough games left against Feyenoord, Fenerbahce and Dinamo Zagreb. We will try to win the three matches and qualify for the knockout phase.
We have big problems with the lot. Important players like Olaru and Bîrligea will not be able to help themselves. Unfortunately, even the central defenders Dawa and Mihai Popescu, who have been injured for a long time, will not be able to help us. We will all try to give our best”, the defender of the champion explained to Sport Content EAD.
Graovac spoke about the difficult situation in which FCSB is in the championship. The defender is confident that his team can catch the play-off.
“We have 10 days left this year, in which we will play 3 very important matches. I hope that in the championship we will take 6 points, and with Feyenoord we will try to get a big victory. Everyone knows that we are going through a complicated situation in the championship, so everyone has to play better. We could all play better, including me.
We hope to play in the play-offs and everyone believes in that. We have a lot of matches to play in the championship, and things can changeGraovac continued.
Towards the end of the interview, Daniel Graovac praised Ayase Ueda, the player of the Dutch team. The Japanese is in good shape, and in the last match played in the championship he scored 4 goals, in Feyenoord's victory with Zwolle, score 6-1.

They have a very good striker who scored 4 goals in their last game. He is an amazing playerbut tomorrow we will try to give our best to get the victory”, concluded the defender from FCSB.
