U Cluj – Fast. The midfielder of Cluj University, Ovidiu Bic (32 years old), former footballer of Olten, analyzed the fight for the title, now, at the end of the season, a bayonet fight between the two teams. He came extremely happy after the success with Rapid, 1-0, on Saturday night, and he can't wait for the fiery week, in which everything will be played for the Romanian Cup and the championship.

At this moment, Craiova and U Cluj are separated by only one point, in favor of Olten, with two games left to play;
Each team is on its own at the end. Everything could be decided at next Sunday's game in Bănie. With a success, the Oltenians are champions. The tie or victory of Cluj means that the outcome is postponed for the last round, when Craiova will play in Giulesti, and U Cluj at home, with Dinamo;
Until Sunday's championship match, the two teams will meet on Wednesday, May 13, in Sibiu, in the Romanian Cup final.

Ovidiu Bic's reaction after U Cluj came within a point of Craiova

“It was a tough game. We expected it, even if Rapid are not going through a good form.

We had a good first half and were in control for the most part, but the second half was on their side. They had several situations where they came upon us.

We are happy that we got all those points and that we are now one point behind Craiova. Next up is the Cup game, then the Championship game.

We have a competitive squad, and that's perfect for us. The match with Craiova in the Cup will be very nice. We have to enjoy the moment and feel good. I hope we come out victorious and win the Cup.

(no. How is it for you when Craiova is said to be the best team?) I think both teams are the best. They started the championship very well and had a normal course, with victories.

We came from behind, from a long way and we had a very good form recently”, said Ovidiu Bic, after the match, in a flash interview on the show “Digi Sport Special”.
