Romania - Liga 1 - Sportul Studentesc vs Craiova

Game starts at 16:00 CET

Sportul Studentesc Bucharest

Acording to Gheorghe Multescu, technical director, the Bucharest team has a big shot in obtaining a pozitive result on Saturday’s game. “This is the first 6 point game. After that, 2 games with Universitatea Craiova and Victoria Branesti, but those we have to take step by step. During the game with Universitatea we have to crack the ice twice, first we have to score a goal, and then we gotta take some points, too. Craiova, like us, has a few problems. The odds are big in getting a pozitive result at the end. There are 6 accesible teams, and with the other 7 we have to push it a little.” (Gheorghe Multescu)

Gheorghe Multescu mentioned that GK Vladimir Niculescu won’t evolve this season, not after his shoulder surgery. “Niculescu had surgery and he won’t be playing untill the end of the season. Viciu will be the GK. Besides Niculescu, Cazan will also be absent, as he is also injured. Even if he was declared free from the contract, Postolache will join the 18 players team and he might be even playing iin the first team.” (Gheorghe Multescu)

Financer Vasile Siman talked about the game Saturday game, also about Stiinta’s problems: “Sportu wants to win any game. It’s logical. We’ll see on Saturday, out there on the field. Craiova’s team had different evolutions. Although at Universitatea there are some good players with potential who can surprise any opponent. Some players who left this winter just arrived at Universitatea Craiova. We can talk about 2-3 players from the old team leaving, formed about 3-4 years ago: Gaman, Barbioanu and Wobay. I don’t think I’m wrong. In other words, there’s the Universitatea team from 2011 for which, years ago, the owner of the team had great hopes. Universitatea has now what we call usual problems! The fact that they didn’t had problems was an abnormal thing. Criaiova didn’t exist because it brought money or because the business activity, but because one man, in a certain amount of time, sustained the team with his oen money. And now, like I was saying, the team is finaly normal! As long as a football club won’t produce money, that club won’t have financial stability.”
