Victor Angelescu, minority shareholder and president at Rapidhad a live TV intervention afterwards draws obtained on own ground with The oilscore 1-1, in the 26th stage of the Superliga.
The Giulești official was of the opinion that Rapid deserved more from this match, in which the “yellow wolves” scored with the only square shot on the goal defended in the premiere by Dejan Iliev, who made his debut for Giulești after the transfer from UTA Arad this winter.
Also, Angelescu explained why Gâlcă decided to start the match without players like Tobias Christensen, Alexandru Dobre or Andrei Borza, the reason being the preparation of the decisive match with CFR Cluj, from the groups of the Betano Romanian Cup.
Regarding Daniel Paraschiv and Olimpiu Moruțan, players who arrived in Giulesti this winter, Angelescu is of the opinion that they will really get in shape with the start of the play-offs.
Victor Angelescu, immediately after Rapid – Petrolul 1-1: “I am reconciled, the match with CFR is vital for us”
“I expected us to score, to win, but that's it. It's good that we didn't lose. We had quite a few chances through Paraschiv and Bolgado. Petrol took a shot at the goal and it was a goal. We knew what to expect and naturally we would have liked to take all 3 points. We don't have time to think too much, an important match is coming up,” Victor Angelescu began his speech at Prima Sport.
Regarding Olimpiu Moruțan and Daniel Paraschiv, the president of Rapidu pointed out: “I think they will reach the optimal level in the play-offs. Especially Paraschiv, who played very little. Olimpiu may have been put in more often, he got more minutes. They also got this period where we play once every 3 days, they have to get a certain rhythm. Starting with the play-offs, he should be at an optimal level“.
I am reconciled, the match with CFR Cluj is vital for us, everything or nothing. If we don't win, we're out of the Cup. He could not play with the first 11 and with Hermannstadt and now also in the match with CFR. The same players could not last 70-90 minutes. We will play with the best team and we have kept our players for this match. It will be a very difficult match, we only have the option of victory. But, I have faith that we can go and win. It will be a one-and-done match.
