Do I “skip” the last play-out game? » The FCSB players only see the Europa League in front of their eyes: “We have to save the season”
FCSB – Unirea Slobozia 0-0. Joyskim Dawa (30), the FCSB defender, drew conclusions in the mixed zone on Monday evening after his team drew only a “white draw” with the second-to-last ranked Superliga. The thoughts of the red-blues are focused only on the two play-off matches, at the end of which the place in Europe can be obtained.
FCSB is not sure that they will win the play-out, but they are sure that they will play the play-off semi-final at home with FC Botoșani, on May 23 or 24. He only has success and the playoff final in mind, which will be played away with the team in 4th place in the Superliga, CFR Cluj or Dinamo.
In unison, the footballers of the defending champion stated that all the focus is on the play-off matches, the ones that can save the season, in the end, if there is a qualification in the Conference League preliminaries.
Until the play-off, FCSB has one more game in the play-out, in the last stage. The match is without stakes for the red-blue formation, not for the opponent. On Monday, May 18, from 8:30 p.m., the game with Hermannstadt takes place, vital for the Sibians in the fight to save themselves from relegation.
Dawa's reaction at the end of the draw with Slobozia: “It's a little frustrating”
“We didn't score, same as last week, so I think we need to focus more on the offensive phase. We had possession, they didn't have anything. I think the only problem today was that we didn't score.
The atmosphere in the team is good, we have no problems. It's a bit frustrating that we didn't score and win this match, but that's normal because we want to win every game,” Dawa said after the match at the mixed zone.
The thought flies to the play-offs for the Conference League
“Now we have to focus on the next game, with Hermannstadt, and then on the tie with FC Botoșani.
We just have to believe in ourselves and everything will be fine. The first play-off match is very important, being the first step, to get past Botoșani.
We are playing at home, we have to get to the European cups, so we have to stay very focused on the first play-off game. (no – Who do you prefer to play with in the draw, Dinamo or CFR Cluj?) I have no preference, I just want to play against any of the two”, said Dawa, after the match.
Florin Tănase also spoke about Europe and the dam at the end of the game on Ghencea.
It's not easy when you're used to playing with the pressure of fighting for trophies. When you play in the play-outs it is different, but we are at a big club, it happened that this year was very weak, now, at the end, we have to have a jolt of pride, win the play-offs, go to Europe and save the season.
It's clear, we are many experienced players. At game time we have to rise to a high level and prove on the pitch that we are the biggest team in the country.
We need supporters, we are waiting for them with us, because only together with them we can make our match easier
