They fought for points in the Romanian Football Cup group, now they compete in the Super League. And they do it at the same stadium, which is managed by the city hall. Now the stakes are infinitely higher, and precious championship positions are at stake.
After Thursday night’s match, Dealoul Feleakui Town has a replay between University and CFR. If the reserves were used in the Cup, then on Saturday the mainstays – the foundations of the two teams – should appear again in the game.
The University of Cluj is pulling its teeth to stay in the first football echelon. The CFR has lofty goals, but also a serious budget deficit. “They can gather two, even three teams, we have 22 big and strong players,” Yevhen Nyagoe complained.
A university that cannot use the “former” Alex Chipcha. The group of “red caps” has not paid the clause stipulated in the contract and cannot use it against its former formation CFR.
Points in Europe bring money and international recognition, so Dan Petrescu will also add to the squad depending on Thursday’s Conference League match.
Ranked second in the group, CFR will travel to Turkey to face leaders Sivasspor, a team that won somewhat undeservedly 1-0 in the tour.
Players from CFR Cluj have a qualification bonus of 200,000 euros for entering the European spring.
The amount is approximately 30% of the bonus received from UEFA for overcoming the group stage of the Conference League. €200,000 will be divided between the players according to the minutes played by each of them in this competition.
Just as Torino is said to be more popular in the city than Juventus in the Piedmont region of Italy, the same is true of Cluj, where the university claims to have more fans than CFR.
This is despite the fact that the group from Gruia has authoritatively dominated Romanian football in the last decade. Likewise in Manchester (England), where “City” likes locals more than “United”.
Superbet gives a coefficient of 2.2 for Final 2 (CFR Cluj to win).
