“CFR Cluj lost the train. I have rarely seen a team like Oțelul”

“Dinamo and Craiova seem to be the teams of the moment, despite the fact that Rapid is also leading, with a point lead. They are connected to the title fight.

At Dinamo, it is mainly the merit of Kopic, who managed to bring balance to the team. Let's not forget that Dinamo was trying not long ago to escape relegation, and now it is engaged in the fight for first place. Without Musi and Karamoko, who are absent now, Dinamo leaves a very good impression and climbed to 2nd place”, says Ioanițoaia.

As for the play-off fight, Ioanițoaia thinks that “CFR, although they have won now, with Csikszereda, and seem to be in a return to form, have lost the train. I don't think that CFR can catch the play-off anymore. He has one more match in 2025, in Botoșani, difficult”.

“Otelul, U Cluj is a candidate for the play-off.

In Cluj, you can see the hand of Bergodi, a coach in whom I have great confidence.

Oțelul played with Rapid like I haven't seen a Romanian team for a long time: in control, compact, balanced. At Oțelul, I regret only one thing, beyond the congratulations that Laszlo Balint deserves: 7 foreigners in the team. You had the feeling that you were watching a team from the Portuguese league. This is also because Romanian footballers have become more expensive than foreigners”, added the journalist.

The director of Gazeta continued to highlight the performance of Oțelu from Giulesti: “Rapid did not impress in this championship, sometimes it was difficult, hard, hard to win. The steel left a completely unusual impression in Giulesti. I have rarely seen a Romanian team playing so well! Rapid is still the leader, but a pale, flu-like one“.
