Andrei Gheorghiță, the attacking tip of U Cluj, commented on his team's victory over Unirea Slobozia, score 1-0, in a match in stage #23 of the Superliga.

Andrei Gheorghiță scored the winning goal for the hosts. This was his first success after a break of almost a year: the striker last scored in February 2025, when he was playing for FCSB, in a match against PAOK, score 2-1 for the Romanian champions.

Since then, Gheorghiță has battled several injuries and is now fighting for a starting position in Bergodi's team, given that Jovo Lukic, the competitor for the position, is the championship's top scorer, but is currently injured.

Andrei Gheorghiță announced that the “red caps” want to be in the play-offs, and even more so in the European cups. At the moment, Bergodi's team is in 6th place, but could fall below the top 6 line by the end of the stage.

Andrei Gheorghiță reacted after U Cluj – Unirea Slobozia 1-0: “The match with FCSB in the last stage could be played with the play-off on the table, who knows?”

“That's the goal of the team. I'm glad I contributed a goal and I hope there are more to come. I had an injury after the transfer and now I don't feel any pain. I hope to get back, little by little, to a better shape.

They gave me chances. Trica left the ball to me perfectly and Macalou crossed well. The people in the club give me confidence. I thank them. Day by day I hope to grow and repay them.

We needed this win. There were three essential points in the fight for the play-offs. The Giulesti match is coming up now.

The match against FCSB in the last leg could play with the play-off on the table, who knows? It's not a different game for me. It's like any other. I try to give everything as much as I evolve. I want to help achieve the goal.

The competition helps me because I push myself more and more. Every day I give everything for such moments. We have a collective objective to enter the play-offs and fight for European cup places. On a personal level, to grow from match to match and give goals and assists“, stated Andrei Gheorghiță during the flash interview from Digi Sport.
