The Oțelul Galați – FC Argeş match, in addition to the implications in the play-off battle, will be special for two players: Leard Sadriu and Joao Paulo. A scout from Holstein Kiel, the team in 13th place in the 2.Bundesliga, will be at the match to watch the two footballers.
The Pitesti player Leard Sadriu is an old target of the Germans, but it seems that they will also follow Joao Paulo, the footballer who impressed this season at Oțelul Galați and also came to the attention of Rapid and FCSB. It seems that the central midfielder's performances have caught the attention of the German second-tier club and they will be monitoring him.
