U Cluj – Rapid 1-0. Razvan Onea (27 years old), the right defender of Giulești, offered the first reaction after tonight's failure. Extremely upset about the result, he wanted to congratulate them at the end of the flash-interview «happy birthday» to Rică Răducanu, the Rapid legend who turns 80 on Sunday, May 10.

One put the finger on the wound, citing both personnel problems and the team's mental block.

He thanked the fans and understood their nervous reaction, in the context in which Rapid is further and further away from Europe.

Răzvan Onea, statements after U Cluj – Rapid 1-0: “It's not enough to play one half”

“It's not enough to play one half. Again we woke up at the break, as much as we could and had opportunities, we took the balls into the box, but we didn't have a chance in front of the goal. They, at the second corner, gave us a goal, that's how the history of the match was written.

It's hard, you can feel the absence of each of the injured players. We were 13 seniors, I think, one of which, Koljic, who was injured, Burmaz, who is coming back after a year. We want to recover a few after this game and finish this play-off with at least two positive results.

The pressure at Rapid was there all the time. We are mentally broken, to be honest. It's hard to start over after a loss. On the field we have to give everything, at least a positive part was seen tonight, a desire, especially in the second half. I'm sorry we didn't manage to score.

We thank the fans for being with us. I know it's frustrating, it's normal for them to be disappointed and I'm sorry. I have only one thought at the end of the interview. I know that tomorrow is Rica Răducanu's birthday, I would like to wish her “Happy Birthday!” and good health“, declared Răzvan Onea, at Prima Sport.
