Romania - Liga 1 - Sportul Studentesc vs Targu Mures

Game to be played @ 14:00 CET

Sportul Studentesc Bucuresti

Coach Gheorghe Multescu declared declared that he wants his players to continue playing like they did in the last games because there are still chances to escape relegation: "It is an important game, a though game with a team that is well coached by Nelutu Sabau. They have an exact defence, what can I say more, I hope we can continue the good game we are making. 2 consecutive wins are no good without getting the 3rd. There are still chances to escape relegation, i know that there are, directly or indirectly, but there are. If we win until the end all the games we make 35 points and now there are teams with 32 points. So teoreticalyy there are chances."

He explained that he wants to win with FCM Targu Mures. Goalgetter Tiberiu Balan commented his good game from the end of the championship: "It is important we won with Rapid, it is a big win.

This helps us with our morale, even if we don't have chances to save ourselves, we will fight in every games, we play for us, for our image and for obtaining the 25 points. Too bad we are in this situation. It is only our fault, the players. There were many individual errors, lots of misses in front of goal. If Multescu could have been at the team from winter we would be saved. I want to leave. Hope to find a way, can't take it anymore. I want to play at a team from the first 6 or leave out of the country".

Probable team: A.Popescu - Farmache, Ratiu, D.Lung, Rusu - Ferfelea, Cr.Irimia, Cruceru, Maxim - T.Balan, Curelea; Coach: Gheorghe Multescu; Injured: V.Niculescu; Uncertain: Patriche; Suspended: -; Substitutes: Viciu, M.Nae, Ghinga, Negru, A.Lungu, C.Gheorghe

Coach Gheorghe Multescu declared that he will stay at Regie, following in the summer to coach in Turkey: "We have chances to avoid relegation. We try to make it happen, if not at least to get past 25 points. Unfortunately I will leave Sportul. From summer, 99% I will coach in Turkey".

Sportul Studentesc made the surprise of the 29th round winning in Giulesti 1-0 against Rapid. Through this success, Sportul have accumulated 20p, unfortunatley they don't have time to get back 12 points. There are only 5 rounds left and Gloria will probably not lose all the games until the end. Anyway, the win with Rapid is a positive thing, because, they will for sure get to 25 points until the end of the championship.

FCM Targu-Mures

Coach Ioan Ovidiu Sabau wants the win in Regie for his team to end the championship on a higher place: "We are not yet free of worries. I read somewhere in the press that we are saved, but i guess that author doesn't know his mathematics well. We will have a though game. Sportul plays something else since Multescu came to the team, they have valuable players like Curelea, Ferfelea and Balan so we must prepare the game well. I don't want a draw, i want the win, I hope the players will think the same".

For the game with Sportul coach Sabau has problems with the team. It is possible that he will make some changes to the 1st 11 because many players have fatigue problems and the coach will try to rest some of them.

Probable team: Balauru - L.Rus, Iencsi, Bruno Fernandes, Cordos - Vagner, Ba, Vasilache, Fl.Dan, Astafei - Raduta, Astafei; Coach: Ioan Ovidiu Sabau; Injured: Topic, Zaharia; Suspended: Szilagyi; Substitutes: Stetca, Cr.Munteanu, Vartic, Petcut, Ruiz, Didi

FCM Targu-Mures continues the good series from the last rounds, managing a win on home turf with Astra, score: 1-0. It was a though game for Mures, because the opponent would want to get at least a draw, but Vasilache took advantage of an error of GK Vasilache and brought the 3 points. Until the games with Rapid and Steaua, Targu Mures wants at least 4 poitns, one with Sportul and 3 with Pandurii. If they make this they will go to Bucharest without feeling pressure on their shoulders.

Sportul could get a surprise like the one with Rapid, but can also lose against poor teams, like Targu Mures for example. We feel that Mures has the edge, how could Sportul beat a team that didn't conceede a goal in the last 7 rounds?
