After five titles in a row, CFR Cluj is only in the third position of the Superliga playoffs, with four stages to go before the end of the season. Before the match against the University of Craiova, coach Dan Petrescu talked about the importance of this game.

Dan Petrescu is convinced that whoever loses will be eliminated from the fight for the title

CFR Cluj has the weakest playoff run so far, with just one win in six games. Moreover, Dan Petrescu’s pupils lost to Farul and Rapid in the last two stages.

In third place, for CFR Cluj, the game against the University of Craiova is crucial and a losing team will definitely be out of the title race.

However, the coach of the Transylvanians, Dan Petrescu, claims that the lack of a title or stay in the European Cups will not mean a tragedy.

“We no longer depend on ourselves, as it was before the match with Rapid.” I think whoever loses will definitely be out of contention for the title. And those from Craiova consider themselves in the fight, they are very ambitious. A tie for the title doesn’t help anyone. It’s a good result for Europe because you stay in third place and have hopes for the future.

I’m not waiting for anything anymore, what else to wait for. Everything is possible in football. It was clear that it was a balanced playoff, the small details made the result. He lost because of personal mistakes and because of referee mistakes.

Since mathematically we have no right to hope, it is hard to believe that we will win all matches and lose others. After all, they won five titles in a row, no need for drama. We have to do our best. Dan Petrescu has done a lot in this club, the players have done a lot. You can’t take the title every year.

“Real” lost the championship this year, and “Milan” and “Inter”. There will be no tragedy if the CFR does not take it and if we do not take over Europe. I am convinced that the players will give their all, you will not see a difficult team. We have to believe until the end, no matter what Mayak does today” – said Dan Petrescureports DigiSport.
