CFR Cluj – Rapid 1-1. Giulești are eliminated from the Romanian Betano Cup. Iuliu Mureșan (72 years old), the president of Transylvania, went live on TV and drew the conclusions of the duel in Gruia.
He explained that Rapid did not impress him, and in the “quarters” he would prefer CFR to meet UTA Arad. Craiova University, FCSB and UTA Arad are potential opponents.
Iuliu Mureșan, conclusions after the qualification of the CFR in the “quarters” of the Betano Romania Cup: “We want to win all the following matches!”
“We're going to do it again, we're going to do it again. We want to win all the upcoming matches, if we can. We're going to win most of them, I'm sure. We'd like them all. Not all players could play, some had little problems, fatigue, for sure they weren't called upon today.
Pancu wanted to groom Camora and Camora said he wanted to play, that it was good for him to play every three days and he played. It depends on each player, some have no age, we are not the same.
(no – Who do you want to play with in the quarter-finals, Craiova, UTA or FCSB?) I don't know, with either. I would prefer UTA, but that's all, it's important to be good, to have this team spirit that we've had in the last eight or nine games, it's hard for anyone to confuse us.
Rapid didn't show much, I say, good team, but it doesn't have anything special, didn't impress me. I have had very few days and these things show. I drove almost to the end. I wasn't afraid at the end.
I'm not afraid of any match, in sports you have nothing to look for if you're afraid”, explained Iuliu Mureșan, on “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.
