  • FCSB lost clearly at home in Târgoviște, while Voluntari drew with Oțelul Galați and “U” Cluj, Csikszereda and other hosts also failed to win.

Home advantage has disappeared from the opening seven matches of the SuperLiga’s seventh round. Voluntari drew 2-2 with Oțelul Galați, “U” Cluj lost 3-2 to Petrolul Ploiești, promoted Csikszereda fell 3-2 to CFR Cluj, and FCSB suffered a clear defeat while playing at home in Târgoviște.

I am not satisfied for two reasons. First, we concede from set pieces again.

— Marius ȘumudicăThe CFR Cluj coach criticized his team after the match against Csikszereda.

Rapid remained the only host with a chance to win, although its match against Universitatea Craiova in Giulești was described as difficult. Csikszereda’s close defeat to CFR featured goals from Marton Eppel, Lorenzo Biliboc, Ovidiu Perianu and Stefan Drazic.

Marius Șumudică said he was only partly satisfied after the match. He criticized CFR’s defending at set pieces and said his team had conceded again soon after scoring. The coach also complained that CFR must play three matches in six days, including trips to Sepsi and a match only 48 hours later.

We have three days to recover. Then we play again on Friday, after 48 hours.

— Marius ȘumudicăȘumudică objected to CFR Cluj’s congested schedule.

CFR’s coach said the conditions in Miercurea Ciuc made the match particularly difficult because the ball did not slide properly. Șumudică also said the club lacked squad depth because of its transfer ban. “If the transfer ban is not lifted, who am I supposed to play?” he asked, saying he would still try to field his strongest lineup.

If the transfer ban is not lifted, who am I supposed to play? Should I take children and play with children?

— Marius ȘumudicăThe coach described the effect of the club’s transfer restrictions on squad selection.
