Robert Ilyeș: “It's a game of six points”

It is a very important match in the points economy, a real six point game. We are playing against an opponent who hopes to avoid relegation. All in all, both teams have the same goal, but playing at home, we need to play a very good game and I'm sure we'll do it.

We have a united, valuable group, and we demonstrated that in the last stage. I suffered at certain timesbut we were well organized in the defensive phase. The match with Slobozia will be different, however. Knowing them, they play rather defensively, in a system that is difficult to break down. We have to have patience and a lot of clarity in midfield to control the game and manage to score.

Since January, no one has beaten us at Miercurea Ciuc and we hope to continue this streak. We also need the support of the public as it is a very high stakes match. It is normal for the players to feel the importance of the game and gain confidence when they see the fans supporting them.

We have some problems with three or four players, but we hope that at least two of them will return. Depending on their physical ability, we will also make a decision on the team we will line up.

– Robert Ilyeș, Csikszereda coach
