Iuliu Mureșan is convinced that CFR has a “pearl”: “A fantastic player” » What he says about Pancu's contract: “I spoke with him”

Iuliu Mureșan said where Pancu's players went wrong in this match, especially the second goal scored by the hosts. He is convinced that Lorenzo Biliboc, who opened the scoring, is a fantastic player.

Iuliu Mureșan, right after U Cluj – CFR Cluj: “Lorenzo Biliboc is a fantastic player”

“It had to happen at some point, to stop the winning streak. There were periods with 7-8 wins, and a defeat was inevitable. It doesn't change much, we are 4 points behind Rapid, who we play on Friday. If we recover and win, things are very good. There are 9 stages to the end, anything can happen.

I don't think Popa could do more in goals. He also took a ball from under the bar, he is a good goalkeeper, he defends well. Lukic played a sensational match, ours couldn't neutralize him. Popa can't be blamed. The defenders could be more careful. They stayed next to Mendy and left next to Lukic before the cross came. If they stayed there, probably nothing would happen.

A beautiful match, the likes of which has never been seen before, so that in the 4th minute it was already 1-1. Biliboc is a fantastic player. As if U Cluj played better in the second half, they wanted more. I stopped holding the middle, that was the problem. Biliboc, when he entered, brought the plus. Other players, when they came in as reserves, didn't make it. Our lot is big. We came from 14th place in the fight for the title”, said Mureșan, to Digi Sport.

Iuliu Muresan: “I offered Pancu an extension”

Ioan Varga and Iuliu Mureșan want Pancu, the one who took CFR to the play-offs after a sensational series, to stay with the team next season as well. Discussions have already begun for a possible extension.

“We offered an extension to Pancu, I also stated, and Nelutu Varga. He told us very clearly that he has a contract, that we must extend it if we qualify for a European cup. We are aiming to succeed. Anyway, we are not going to let him go, we are proposing the extension. Of course, that statement of his, that we are not on the same wavelength, is no longer valid.

It's a tough match with Rapid, but we're not afraid of any team, we don't consider ourselves weaker than any. I hope the team continues to play well and we score points. It is very important that we win with Rapid on Friday. We are there and we are fighting”, Iuliu Mureșan also said.

Financially there were many problems in the past, payments were not made on time. I think that one or two more players will be sold in the summer, it's normal for a team to happen like that. You also earn money and you can bring others. And you can bring in better players than those who leave, as has happened now.

Undoubtedly, it is the best team of those from U Cluj. They have a good chance to take the title, they have creative players and they are good physically.
