Victor Angelescu (41 years old), the minority shareholder from Rapid, was live on the GSP Live show, and talked about the strategy of the Giulești team this season.
Victor Angelescu spoke about the importance of the match with Unirea Slobozia for the people of Giulești, but also about the winter transfer period, in which Rapid will try to bring in an offensive midfielder. This could be Alin Fică, from CFR, whom Bucharest tried to transfer in the summer.
Victor Angelescu, on GSP Live: “We are looking for an attacking midfielder”
“The match with Slobozia is very important, especially since it comes after the victory with Dinamo. If we beat today, we really give importance to the points taken with Dinamo, which is an opponent. It's a very important match. I don't know if it's because we're far behind, the points will be halved anyway. Basically, we're showing that we're beating up there. I expect there to be around 9-10,000 supporters.
I am convinced that there will be supporters, especially now that the leader is back. I am convinced that the supporters will do their job, the players will do theirs on the pitch and let's hope that everything will be fine. Same problems as the previous stages. Borza, Ciobotariu, Drilon, Ignat. We haven't been able to recover anyone. We hope that Ciobotariu will be at the Cup match. At the Stock Exchange, everything is going well. We hope that he will catch more matches, in December he will be able to play.
I also said that Metaloglobus is a team that has gotten used to the first league and is hard to beat. FCSB, Craiova felt it. And Dinamo beat hard there. It is a team that plays good football at home. We had a strategy from the beginning of the season, that's why I also took over the position of president, I also brought in a coach who is not conflicted, I made some changes at the management level.

Mauro also came, who is also a man who knows very well how to manage certain situations. Naturally, the results also help us. We have the fans with us, I think this season you won't hear much about Rapid, because that's exactly what we focused on, let it be as quiet as possible. I said, my opinion is that there is no way for Botoșani to lose the play-off, so naturally we take it into account, a very good team, won a lot of points, has a nice game, scored the most goals.
I think we will play more matches with them, a team with good players and a good coach. We have players we are following. As I said, we are looking for an attacking midfielder. We have the lists made. Mauro takes care together with Costel, with everyone in the club, we know what we want in the winter. Hopefully we can get the midfielder we want. It can be Ficà or someone else,” said Victor Angelescu, at GSP Live.
