Vârful Alexandru Boiciuc, 28 years old, an important goal in the 2022 tie between U Cluj and Dinamo, believes that The “Red Caps” can conquer championship in this edition.
U Cluj reached the quota of 7 consecutive victories in official matches, in the Super League and in the Romanian Cup. The “red caps” are only one point behind the leader of the ranking, Rapid, before the second round of the play-off, on Saturday, with FC Argeș in Mioveni.
In the second domestic competition, Transylvania are in the semifinals of the competition. In the penultimate act, they will face FC Argeș, away, on April 21 or 22, depending on the schedule of the game.

Alexandru Boiciuc, 28 years old, is now at FC Bihor, one of the surprises of the second league, a team qualified for the second division play-off. The Moldovan striker was one of the heroes of the play-off double in May 2022, when U Cluj was promoted to the Super League and sent Dinamo to the second tier. Then, Boiciuc scored at Cluj Arena in the Transylvanian 2-0 victory. In return, it was 1-1 in Ștefan cel Mare.
The Moldovan international bets that the “Red Caps” can produce the big surprise this season.
“Certainly, I really want this and I hope that U Cluj will manage to win the championship. But it's a long and very complicated road. Each stage must be played like a final and I'm sure that the players and the staff have the necessary experience to manage each match.
I consider U Cluj a complete team this year. Combination of experience and young energy. From this point of view, the club did an extraordinary scouting.
He has the best scorer (Lukic), he has good defense, he has Italian-style tactical and possession play. U Cluj has almost all the assets to achieve this performance. I wish him to have constancy, confidence and a lot of luck,” said Boiciuc in an intervention for Gazeta Sporturilor.
U Cluj must also fight for the Romanian Cup. There is no greater motivation than losing the final in 2023. As long as you realize that you can reach the finals and still win, nothing else is needed
