Iuliu Mureșan knows who CFR Cluj will fight with for the Superliga title: “Strong team”

Iuliu Mureșan highlighted the work of Daniel Pancu from CFR Cluj, and after the series of 11 consecutive victories, the group from Gruia dreams of the title: “If we have so many victories, why not hope that we can get another eight or nine?”. Also, the official from CFR Cluj analyzed the fight for the title in the Superliga and in his opinion, the University of Craiova is the main favorite.

Iuliu Mureșan, reaction after CFR Cluj – Dinamo 0-2: “Taking into account that we started from the 14th place…”

“Taking into account that we started from 14th place, yes, from the barrier, it's good that we grew stage by stage and that we have 11 consecutive victories. We are playing at U Cluj, we can't wait for the match and you saw that today we also benefited from the support of the public. We were happy that they supported the team, the others supported Dinamo and we saw a beautiful atmosphere.

We played well, we controlled the game and we are happy for 2-0 and the fourth place. I congratulate the team, the players have achieved these things and I hope we can continue like this. We can't wait for the real play-off matches, the derbies make you feel like you're living in football”, Iuliu Mureșan said about the match with Dinamo, according to orangesport.ro.

If we have 11 consecutive wins, why not hope we can get eight or nine more? We have to take every game and win. I think that the team that will beat us first will suffer a lot, that it will be a difficult match. A defeat will come at some point, but I hope it will come in the last stage of the play-off.

Craiova, a very good team and I felt it, U Cluj has chances and is a strong team, and Bergodi is a very good coach and they have the conditions to achieve performances in this championship. Of course, Rapid is still there, Dinamo is still there, even if it lost today. The important thing is that we also have our chance.
