Rapidul, 5 unsuccessful matches in the Romanian Super League

Rapidul have not won since stage number 15 in the Romanian Super League, and the pressure of results could affect coach Cristiano Bergodi.

Giulesti has just one game against Farulua this year and the Italian is trembling for his position on the bench.

Despite this, at the end of the 0-0 draw in Ploiesti, captain Christie Sepunaru sounded the alarm and said the players were the only ones to blame for this run of results.

“In the 5th minute, we were down to 10 men. Good team. We don’t need levels. We must win. This is a difficult time and we must live through it. We are trying to win, the winter season is approaching. Maybe some injured players will come.

We have to attack the first three places. I do not comment on the coach. We had to change the system because we had one person filling all the seats.” – said Christy to Sepunaru.

In addition, Sepunaru said he also had a discussion with Rapid fans who were impatient with the team.

“I reassured them and told them that the team will give 100% while I’m here. As long as I’m at Rapid, the team will play to win. I haven’t heard of an ultimatum. This is the first time I have heard of this. This is not an ultimatum. An ultimatum for the coach?

That we are not doing our job? What are we ashamed of? Give us an ultimatum. We are a family. We have to put ourselves out on the field. It is not the coach’s fault that we are not doing our job on the field. We have no emotions from the playoffs.” – concluded Sepunaru, reports Digi Sport.
