Gică Craioveanu (57 years old), the legend of Craiova, said what, in his opinion, are the 3 teams that will fight for the title this season.
Craiova finished the year 2025 in the first position in the Superliga, and Gică Craioveanu is convinced that the Oltenians will fight for the title with Dinamo (4th place) and FCSB (9). Rapid is the team that started the stage in the leading position, but fell one place after the failure with FCSB, 1-2.
Gică Craioveanu believes that Rapid can fight for the title only if Dan Șucu makes several important transfers. Otherwise, he does not see the people from Giulești taking the podium in the current season.
Gică Craioveanu: “Rapid does not catch the podium”
“I think that Olten will fight for the title with FCSB and Dinamo. I said: Rapid will be the strongest favorite if Mr. Șucu enters the market, if he makes transfers. If it doesn't come out, it doesn't get the podium. I say how I think and how I see football from my perspective.
In many matches they were lucky. In Craiova, Craiova had nine scoring opportunities and the match ended in a draw. In the matches with Dinamo, including FCSB, it was the same.
They have two very good players: Dobre, who is not in very good shape, but he is a huge player, and Petrila, who seems to me a top footballer, one of the few who dribbles. There are two players I like. There is also Christensen, a very good player who I like a lot. I like this type of football player, “liar”.
Rapid did not look good at all with FCSB. FCSB will be swept away. Some of his important players are on the rise, Cisotti, Tănase. FCSB is a complicated team and will have a difficult word to say”, said Gică Craioveanu, at Digi Sport.
