Iuliu Mureșan, the president of the CFR Clujwent live on TV after his team wonin front of those from Rapidscore 1-0, in a match of stage #2 of the Superleague play-off.

The official of the Superliga team addressed several topics that are “burning” at the Gruia team.

Iuliu Mureșan reacted after CFR Cluj – Rapid 1-0: “This is our main quality”

“I trust the players, in Pancu, it's a united group. That's the main quality, let's say. Before it wasn't united, there were only little churches. Pancu achieved this through his personality. We also helped him. And the boys were embarrassed.

From the first training he changed everything for the team. The workouts became intense, with pleasure, with a smile and so on. I removed elements that were ruining the locker room. There was peace and I became what I needed to be,” Iuliu Mureșan said on the “Digi Sport Special” show.

The team played well. We had shots on goal, we had all kinds. I had several actions in it. We were more concrete, more direct. It's important that we won. It's a score I like 1-0.

Iuliu Mureșan on the fight for the title in the Superliga: “Until then we are not candidates for the title”

“We are three points away from 1st place. If we don't lose to Craiova University then we become candidates. Until then, not yet. We have to work a lot. After the break, we play in Craiova, like on Monday. We played many times on Mondays and after Fridays, with less recovery days. Now we have more and I hope they don't harm us or hinder us.

All teams have chances. If Dinamo changes the losing streak into a few wins, everything changes. Each team with two or three wins can reach the top two or three places. U Cluj has a good team. It's the first time they've had a chance. We kept fighting them. They have a good team, it was seen in the match with us and in other matches. They have many consecutive victories. They have a technical team, speed players. They are balanced on the compartments”, Iuliu Mureșan said.

Yes, Pancu only saw Nelu Varga once. So do I. We went once, since then we spoke on the phone. We'd like to see him more often, but he's gone. We always find it when we need it. If you don't answer now, answer in an hour or two. We are talking to Nelu Varga. He gave some bonuses to the players and the others follow at the end, paid cumulatively.

Iuliu Muresan, about…

  • the financial situation of the club: “It is under control. We have problems. We manage to manage, to pay on time. And with the intention of paying on the last day, the penultimate day to give some hope… We manage to solve the problems. There is also a problem with the licensing, but if we pay it will be solved. Leave me until the last day and it will be solved. I don't know if we owe Louis Munteanu a debt. We probably do, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we will succeed let's pay it. If we had 10 million in an account, we would pay it the first time so that we wouldn't have to pay. I have to ask the accounting department.”

  • national team players: “We have Popa in the national team. He is a very good goalkeeper. Today there were national team goalkeepers in both goals. We also have Biliboc in the U21. Mircea Lucescu should comment on why he did not take Biliboc. I was not a player, I was not a coach and I do not comment technically. I would call him up, but I am not the selector. It is his decision. I agree that maybe it was not the time to take the step”
