Farul Constanța – FCSB is the headliner of stage #9 of the Romanian Super League. This is the first head-to-head match between the two since last season’s decisive final.

Farul Constanta faces the strongest team in the Romanian Super League

On Sunday, in the derby of the 9th stage of the Romanian Super League, “Farul Constanta” hosts FCSB.

The formation, coached by Hyke Hagi, appeared after an embarrassing defeat against FC Kraiova 1948 (4-0) and is looking for a second consecutive success at home in the championship.

At the press conference, Gicke Hagi warned against the Romanian vice-champion, which is the first match directly after the crazy game that decided the title last season (3-2, FCSB had 2-0).

The coach of the reigning champions said that this international break has helped him fine-tune several aspects from a technical point of view and he hopes that the team will soon rise to the level of the previous season.

“An important match in the championship, at home. We are coming after a very busy period. I had this break, it worked really well, I talked to those who stayed at home. Now with those who came from the national team, we also talked with them and slowly we hope to return to what we were last year, that is, to take each match separately, concentrate hard, fight and try to take three points.

We should at least do what we did last year. In general, the team is the same as last year. There are also new players who need to adapt. Let’s see who adapts. The road will be long, very difficult. This is completely different from last year.

Last year, apparently, no one paid attention to us. Now we have such a status. We have to play like last year, with both phases being very good, knowing how to attack and defend.

When necessary, we were also pragmatic, which is why we became champions. From what we’ve seen in these two weeks, I’m confident we’ll be able to pull through and get back to where we were last year. With FCSB, it’s a tough match where we have to overcome ourselves and play a very good match from the 1st minute to the 90th minute.” – said the “King”, reports Digi Sport.
