Bogdan Andone is cautious: “It will be an extremely hot Mexi, Reșița needs victory”

After the “Cold Shower” collected with Metaloglobus, Bogdan Andone spoke, in the conference preceding the match with Reșița, about how he tried to mobilize his players for this match:

“A difficult match awaits us, we need victory to promote, to be in Liga 1 of the next season. Reșița needs victory to go to the dam. It will definitely be an extreme, extremely difficult, hot matchwe must be prepared mentally and physically, to manage it properly.

We do not know how the Reșița match will approach the match, it is important how we will be at the game time, [trebuie] Let's be balanced, focused, win!

We do not have an extra pressure, there was no pressure at the match last stage either. But it's not simple. I got into the play-off hard, and then I climbed. It's not simple for them, it's not simple for us or those in the club, to have a match -by -match pressure.

It is normal, sometime, to have an inscription, maybe a more uninspired day, but I am convinced that it was an accident. I am convinced that it will be quite something else in the game on Tuesday.

Playing at home, with supporters next to him, as he was at each game, he feels! It is an advantage, they supported us in the delicate moments, with the star of the fans were with us, so it will be now. At the last match, the fans were with us, and at the end of the game I hope to make a joy now, ”said Andone, according to liga2.ro.

We do not give up, this is important, and we go to FC Argeș to get point or points. FC Argeș beat us at home. I do not know if we were worth it, but FC Argeș certainly did not deserve to leave the winner from the Doman Valley. This can happen in the next match, because FC Argeș is not qualified from a mathematical point of view. As if we want to get to this dam too much and I think football will reward us. We know that at the dam it is very difficult to pass a Liga 1 team, but we really want to get into this situation.

– Flavius ​​Stoican, CSM Reșița coach

The up-to-date set-up of the play-off ranking:

In search of lost time. Brief History: What happened to FC Argeș in the past 15 years

FC Argeș, one of Romania's tradition clubs, has had a turbulence route in the last 15 years.

Belels started in 2009, when the team was relegated due to the famous corruption scandal caused by Cornel Penescu. From there the drop started. The team agonized for several years in Liga 2, was abolished in 2013 and returned to life later, in 2017, after SCM Pitesti, the club set up by the City Hall, took over the brand.

In parallel, a team of supporters, FC Argeș 1953, established in 2014, was operating for a short time, when the community rejected the “artificial” team of the City Hall. Argeș returned to the first league in 2020, arrived in the play-off and the semifinals of the cup, then collapsed in 2023, retrograding to Liga 2.

In documents, the current club bears, starting with 2019, the name “Sports Club Football Club Arges”.

The reason? In order to have the right to promote in Liga 1, the activity of the FC Argeș football team was taken over in 2019 by the private law structure “Sports Club FC Arges”. The access to the first stage would not have been allowed to a public law club, as FC Argeș was since 2017, the year in which the brand returned to life after the bankruptcy in “Era Penescu”.
