Raul Rusescu (37 years old), GSP Live expert, believes that Rapid has no chance to win the title. He claims that this was seen on Sunday night when FCSB prevailed in the derby with the team from Giulestiscore 2-1, in the 21st stage of the Superliga.
Olaru and Tănase (penalty) scored for the hosts, while Dobre (penalty) reduced the difference at the end. Why does Rapid not rise to the level of a formation capable of winning the championship?
Raul Rusescu he feels that the Rapid has no player who can come off the bench and change the course of the game, as happened at the Arena.

“I don't want this for Galca (to be fired), I want him to finish the season at Rapid, regardless… It wouldn't be fair for him not to finish the season.
And if a confirmation was needed during this period or in the last 3-4 matches, they proved that Rapid does not have a lot to win the championship, even if it is in first place at the moment.
They scored a lot more points than their game showed at times. And the fact that, for example, today they have no player on the bench who can change the game in which they can be led, that's exactly what happened, there was no offensive change from the bench, and there is a problem here.
If you want to win the championship, you have to have bench players who can come up with something. Numerically, in terms of name, value, Rapid's bench is a very weak one for a team that wants to fight for the championship“, Rusescu analyzed in Sunday's edition of GSP Live Special.
In the phase with Hromada there is no penalty, we cannot give a penalty for any contact. It's a piece of cake, you can't give a penalty for something like that. It's too little for a penalty.
