Adrian Mutu named the big problem at Rapid and gave a piece of advice to Șucu: “With all due respect”

Romania's all-time top scorer, tied with Gică Hagi, both with 35 goals, said Rapid needed a striker with minutes. Paraschiv made 10 appearances and a goal in the first part of the season at Leonesa, being a reserve in the last part of last year.

Paraschiv scored two goals for Giulești this season, with Dinamo and Unirea Slobozia, matches Rapid won 2-1 at the end of the regular season.

Adrian Mutu: “With all due respect to Paraschiv, he wasn't playing. Put your hand in your pocket and take someone who is playing”

“You make a correction in the winter, you bring in Paraschiv. With all due respect to him, he didn't play there. If it was Paraschiv from Hermannstadt, you put him in, there were no problems.

You brought Koljic, he wasn't playing either. If you make a correction, reach into your pocket and get one that's playing. It costs you”said Adrian Mutu, at “Footbal Club”, from Digi Sport.

In addition to Paraschiv, Rapid also relies on Elvir Koljic, transferred in the winter of last year, in the center of the attack. E has 4 goals this season, without scoring since August 2025. There are 28 consecutive matches without a goal scored by the Bosnian.

If Rapid had a striker, besides Dobre, he was in first place 100%. I'm glad that Rapid was pragmatic in some matches, it's important to get the points, you have to bring a title, something. You play nice for nothing. Points and wins bring peace.

Without a striker, a Dugandzic, a Rrahmani, Rapid cannot win the title. When you have one Rrahmani and he leaves, you bring another Rrahmani. I think that Rapid is a pragmatic, good team, but they don't have a championship striker. Both Paraschiv and Koljic, I don't think they missed 5 goals. Lukic has 18 goals and the team is in first place. From this point of view, Rapid could do a lot more.
