Alexandru Chipciu does not have good memories of Bulgaria. The FCSB, with him in the team, missed out on qualifying in the UEFA Champions League groups, after the game lost after the tie, against Ludogorets, a team whose hero was Cosmin Moți, the defender who seemed to have two penalties from the rojiblancos.

Sofia, CFR’s first stop on the road to the spring Europa League
The Romanian international declared at the pre-match press conference in Sofia that, despite CSKA being a strong team, CFR has the power to win all three points.
“CSKA is a very good team, they have made a lot of progress in recent years, they have bought a lot of new players. In the Europa League there are only strong teams. It would be very good for us to start well because there are not many games, to have time to recover and it is important to win the first game in this type of competition.
The memories of Bulgaria are not so pleasant, here I lost the qualification in the Champions League, on penalties. The only pleasant memory is that I scored, but I missed qualifying. I hope we win tomorrow night. I did not speak to Keseru and Moți.
With CSKA Sofia I played a friendly when I was at Sparta Prague and it was a strong team. Tommy Neubert was here too, I know him very well from FCSB. The Bulgarians can be taller than us, they have two teams in the Europa League groups, Romania only one“Chicpiu said.
Alexandru Chipciu: “Because he plays at home, he would have the first chance”
The CFR midfielder admitted that CSKA starts with the first chance against the Romanian champions, for the advantage of their own field, but is happy that in tomorrow night’s game spectators will be able to attend, although they will cheer on the team from the Bulgarian capital.
“It may be weird, I haven’t played with fans in a long time, but at the same time, everyone who plays soccer feels that soccer without fans is dry. Since they play at home, tomorrow night they would have the first chance, but the values are substantially the same.
I never thought about playing well in the club’s team for the national team. Automatically, if you play well, they call you. The coach needs players to help him. At the moment I want to play well for CFR, not have more injuries, have continuity“said the CFR player.
