Victor Angelescu, the president and minority shareholder of Rapid, announced which will be the stadium where Giulești will play all the play-off games.
Victor Angelescu revealed that Rapid will play all the matches in which it will be the host at the stadium in Giulesti. The fact that FCSB will not be present in the play-offs influenced this decision. Also, the National Arena will be closed for football in the second part of the play-offs.
Victor Angelescu: “We will play all the play-off matches in Giulesti”
“I want to inform the supporters that we will play all the matches only in Giulesti. FCSB did not enter the play-offs, then we have no reason to play with them at the National Arena. We don't know what will happen with Dinamo, we may not be able to follow a protocol, depending on what will happen in May.
It's time to prepare like the world for the play-offs, to fight for the championship, and to bring each 1 percent more, and we felt the best in Giulesti.
We had good matches in the Arena as well, but every 2-3% more counts. That was the strategy, let's hit the gas pedal. I want us to do everything that depends on us in the playoffs”, said Victor Angelescu, on the show “Fotbal Show”, from Prima Sport.
With one stage before the end of the regular season, Rapid ranks second in the Superliga, with 55 points. The leader is Craiova, with 59. The podium is completed by rival Dinamo (52). The other teams that will compete in the play-off are U Cluj, CFR Cluj and FC Argeș.
