Live Metaloglobus – Petroleum starts in stage #3 of Superliga

After the stinging failure, score 1-4, with the University of Cluj, the band from Pantelimon gave signs of life, proving that it is not just a “ash” in the season 2025-2026 by L1, after the point obtained in Sibiu: 2-2 with Hermannstadt.

On the other hand, the “yellow wolves” drew with the steel, away, 0-0, giving up on their own ground in front of the FCSB champion, 0-1, in the previous round. The biggest problem of the prahovans is the attack, oil being the only team that failed to mark in the first two stages.

Oil has always been a strong team in Liga 1. Of course, there have been years in which he was beaten at the championship, he also won the Romanian Cup. I passed there, it was a nice time there. Supporters have always wanted performance. There were also difficult years from a financial point of view, but they have always reinvented themselves, the supporters were even in the 2nd League.

It is a club with a very, very good background with an important history and they certainly want to perform this year. They want their play-off, this is their goal.

It will be a nice match, a good match, I trust the boys, my playerseven if we are in a period when we do not have many players in number, but those who are here train very well and you have seen, with both U Cluj and Hermannstadt, that I gave everything I had better, and this is the most important: the attitude. We go to victory, play on our own ground, and the points are important, even if they are halved, at the end of the regular season.

– Mihai Teja, Metaloglobus coach

It is a game that we must treat with great care and seriousness. Even if we meet a newly promoted, even if the opponent does not have players with great experience at first level, Metaloglobus is a very well organized and defensive team, and in attack, proof that in two stages he scored three goals, And we, unfortunately, are the only ones who have not registered in this start of the season.

It is clear that we want to leave with all the three points from Clinceni, we need a positive result, because we come after the defeat with FCSB and We owe it to supporters and ourselves to win this meeting.

– Liviu Ciobotariu, Petroleum coach
