Gheorghe Hagi and defeat in the Romanian Super Cup: “Head up”

Hagi will be hoping that Farul can bounce back from that defeat and have a good day when they face Sherif Tiraspol in their Champions League preliminary matches (first leg on July 12 in Ovidio and second leg on July 18 in Tiraspol).

“That’s it, we’re moving forward. We are at the beginning of the journey. We learn from all this. Head up. We have a lot of work to do, we are at the beginning of the journey and it was also evident tonight that some things were lost. New players who need to learn the system…

Sîrbu learns when you are young, you learn from mistakes. After he played really well, he helped us both defensively and offensively, he was in the game. That’s it, he shouldn’t have lost a person, he was his.

We are disappointed, but we have to keep our heads high. From tomorrow we have to start all over again. We have three days at our disposal, we have to recover and try to win the match at home to qualify.

We hope to be inspired in everything we do. It is not easy. The goal is to pass, but we’ll see. We hope that on Wednesday we will have a good day and play much better at home and score a goal” – George Hagi on DigiSport.

If Tiraspol “Sherif” overcomes, the champion “Farul Constanta” will play the winner of the match “Hamrun Spartans (Malta)” – “Maccabi Haifa” (Israel) in the second preliminary round of the Champions League.
