Rapid did not go to the ramp even in the second friendly of the summer and had a modest performance against Vardar Skopje.

After a few balanced minutes at the beginning, the opponents took over the party's reins and opened the scoring in the 8th minute, through Zakaric, who sent the ball near the tin, unproceated for Stolz, titled to this match.

Even after receiving the Rapid goal he did not show signs that he could return, Gâlcă was quite unhappy on the edge, constantly shouting at his students, waiting for a change of attitude in their game.

The Rapid technician ran the whole lot available, but until the end his team did not find the way to the emptiness. In the 81st minute, Răzvan Onea left the accident ground, carried on his arms, and remains to be seen how serious his problems are and if he could rely on him in the next period.

It ended 1-0 for Vardar, at the end of a modest match made by Giulesti, who showed few offensive initiatives, rarely creating danger to the opponents gate.

Costel Gâlcă's reaction after the first friendly of the summer

I am glad that I did not have injured after the match and after the load that was these days. I am satisfied for the yield I have seen on the ground.

Of course, in the first part I got a little harder, but in the second half I managed the match very well, I even dominated in many moments. I am very happy what has been seen in total.

Given the opponent we encountered today, who is preparing for the preliminary tours of the Champions League, it was important for us to not be injured, then to be able to make a good game.
