5 last minute information before Craiova University

The Universitatea Craiova – FCSB match is scheduled tonight, from 21:00, and will be liveTEXT on GSP.RO and live on Prima Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Digi Sport 1. A game of great pride for the Juves, who are aiming for the place 2 in the ranking, being the first game of the red-blues after becoming, mathematically, the champions of the 2023/2024 edition.

It is also Constantin Gâlcă’s first one-on-one duel with FCSB, after achieving the treble in 2015.

Gazeta Sporturilor presents 5 details, last-minute information, from this confrontation of prides.

Alex Mitriță can play from the first minute, Craiova’s “talisman” is seen

As GSP.ro informed since Friday, Bania’s star, Alexandru Mitriță, can play from the first minute, nothing has changed regarding the top player who hopes to be called up to the national team for Euro 2024.

The footballer had problems with his ankle during the Cup match with Oțelul Galați (0-1). Both the player and the medical staff gave the OK for Mitriță to be on the pitch, especially since it is a duel with stakes, which will surely be monitored by the selector Edward Iordănescu.

18selections and 3 goals in his account for the Mitriță national team

13goals and 12 assists Mitrița collected in the current season in 36 games

The players were left at the Easter table with their families

Costel Gâlcă took the players to the camp only last night. He left the players at the Easter table, at lunch, in the bosom of their families, a detail that was greatly appreciated by the footballers.

Moreover, the players approached the technician very quickly. Gâlcă knew how to quickly gain the attachment of his new students. The coach does not expect an easy match against the team that has just become mathematically champion.

“For us it is an important match at the moment, we have to take the 3 points. We know that FCSB have very good players in the midfield, they have players who make the difference in attack. A team that has won the championship comes with a lot of confidence regardless who will play It will be very tough and I hope we have a near perfect match both defensively and offensively.

It is only up to us to win this match, we will do our best. I’m only thinking about victory, first of all, I don’t know what will happen in the next stages. I think every team wants to win on the field, no matter the situation.

The atmosphere is very good and we are very focused on this game. We are still training and I hope we can find suitable solutions to win this match. The boys respond very well to training,” said Gâlcă.

For me it’s a match, nothing more. It’s a 3-point game, we want to win it. We only do our calculations for this game, then we think about winning every single game. I’m fighting for 2nd place, I can’t talk about others
– Constantin Gâlcă, coach University of Craiova
