We have confidence in the work done and in the good form shown recently, and the atmosphere within the team is very positive”, said Florentin Pera, coach of SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea, before the match with Gloria, according to handbalmania.ro.

The match with SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea is crucial to maintain our one-point lead over CSM Bucharest and to win the title of champions. We know it will be extremely difficult due to the quality of the opposing players, but our handball players are very motivated and focused and I trust that they will fight hard for a good result
