“Since last season and until now, we have lost important players, especially a player we did not have time to replace, in the middle of the field (no. Mihai Bordeianu). This is the big drawback of CFR at the moment. Unfortunately, our Acquisitions campaign was not the same as that of CSKA Sofia, which took on nine very good players.
Our lot is very thin now. Players from Watford, Lens, Bordeaux, Lille came to them, and we took from … it makes no sense to say where. It is clear, if you take good players, you have pretensions, and I am convinced that those here have pretensions “.Petrescu said.

CSKA Sofia coach before the CFR Cluj game: “Rondon, Chipciu and Debeljuh will be on the attack”
The 51-year-old said, two days before the game, that he knows the team he will trust CFR Cluj the Sofia and he even listed several players he sees as starters in Thursday’s game.
“Cluj is one of the strongest teams, they play quite often in groups. His qualities are represented by the speed of the offense and a good game in the fixed phases. If we give them space, we will clearly have problems.
We are well prepared. It was also seen in the Europa League matches that we are not physically dominated, we are fighting for victory until the end, and in some matches we even scored in the last minutes. We will not give up on all three fronts: the championship, the Bulgarian Cup and the Europa League.
The group is very difficult. Roma are the favorites, and CFR Cluj and Young Boys are solid and balanced teams, but we have our chance. We know your strengths and weaknesses. We will try to show off a pretty face and, if we have the opportunity, leave the group.
We know the CFR Cluj team. Three of the defenders will play alone, and if Burcă is fit, it will be the fourth. There will be a change in the middle, because they sold Bordeianu. I spoke with the players about certain players, tomorrow I will introduce them to the others. Rondon, Chipciu and the Croatian center forward (no – Debeljuh) will be in front “Belchev said, according to sportal.bg.
