Romania - Liga 1 - CFR Cluj vs U Cluj

CFR 1907 Cluj

Alin Minteuan, coach of CFR was not dismissed but it could get a supervisor after the derby with U. It is widley known the rivalry between the two teams, so he announced that the game will be horrendous game.

CFR is decimated before the derby. They need to improvise on the left side of the defence, where Edimar and Veloso are injured, but now, there are also problems on the right side of defence. Panin is suspended, while Maftei will not be fully recovered until the start of the game. Because in the team there is no other defender, Minteuan will improvise with captain Ricardo Cadu to block Adrian Cristea. The portuguesse is the most aggressive stopper of CFR.

Another choice could be Bajary Sare who is a defensive midfielder that impressed in the game with FCM Tg. Mures.
