The team coached by Ioan Ovidiu Sabău finished the regular season tour in first placewith a lead of 6 points over Dinamo. The distance to FCSB is 9 points, but the champion has one game less, the away match against FC Botoșani, which will be played on November 21, from 20:00.
The excellent performance in the first part of the championship made the number of those who support the team in the stands, at home matches, increase. In this sense, Radu Constantea, the president of U Cluj, announced that approximately 24,000 people will be present at the match with FCSB. The record date from the 8th round, 18,066 spectators, when U Cluj beat Dinamo 1-0.
The statements of the two coaches
“Why not believe in victory? You must look very good. We meet the most fit team, a numerically valuable lot, has two teams. Much has been invested in FCSB. They are the most fit and perhaps the most valuable team in Ligue 1.
We have to face such a game, have the courage to fight, there are no half measures. It doesn’t work to shyly enter in front of 20-25,000 spectators. You’re playing at home though. I have experienced players who have ticked such matches.
FCSB is a good opponent, but we are playing at home. Play the 1st place team against the champion team. I have done beautiful things so far. But that’s it! It’s over. We didn’t complete any of our goals, the players need to know that. They got money, appreciation, our supporters and football people. To get results, you have to be able to always start over. We are not qualified for the play-offs!
I would not like to see relaxation, we see no reason to be relaxed. You’ve lost 2-3 games and you’re going crazy. We must prevent. It is important that the message be clear, not to relax, not to admire ourselves too much”, said Ioan Ovidiu Sabău.
“Olaru will be with us. Tănăs was injured, he will not play tomorrow. Lixandru, likewise, is absent for a long time. Dawa and Baba are suspended. The others will be ok.
If we can see more young players? Yes, why not? It depends on what we need. We are happy to have young people in the team. When they are needed, I am convinced that they will be called upon
We are playing with the first place, U Cluj, this shows the quality of this team and how difficult the match will be. We are coming after a good result, but for it to be worth it, we have to win. In general, I think we could have had a lot more points, and from now on we have to recover the lost ones. We are in good form and we have to maintain it.
U Cluj is one of the rivals, because it is in first place, but it is too early to talk about only one team as a rival for the title. All teams in the play-offs will have a chance at the championship. It’s a different championship this year, if you look at the standings, any team can be in the top 6 one week, not the next.
Teams that weren’t in the play-off spots before are now. It’s not an easy match, all teams have lost points with various teams, the championship is really interesting. Mr. Sabău is doing an extraordinary job this season, that’s why he is in first place”, said Elias Charalambous.
