Adrian Mititelou is convinced that the game will be won

After several hours of consideration of all the parties’ evidence, the appeals commission postponed its decision until Thursday.

Craiova 1948 owner Adrian Mititelou, who was present at the meeting at FRF, believes that unless the decision is influenced “from the other side”, the game between the two teams will be played.

“I’m sure! If the decision is by the 5 members who judged us today, I’m sure. If the decision is made elsewhere… all the arguments are on our side.

The meeting lasted a long time because there were presentations, we had 4 or 5 lawyers. There were conclusions based on our appeal and their appeal. I am optimistic.

Those from Sepsi had no arguments. Mr. Christian Jura spoke very well, it was clear that he was in a different class. Sepsi admitted that the match can still be played. They also had a lawyer and Mr. Vice President. They were honest! They said it was possible to play, but the referee made a decision. I say that the desired effect of the Federation is given.

No one has ever won such a match with a score of 3:0. You can’t do that! Instead of creating a symbiosis of relations between Romania and Hungary. Our chance, apart from the fact that the law is very clear and does not impose any liability on us, is that there is no suspension of the match for xenophobia in the regulations. The only sanction is a fine and holding the match without spectators.” said Adrian Mititelu for GSP.
