Game of the round!

And we just arrived here.A strange game from all the facts.Rapid is in downtrend this year and this affirmation is supported just looking at their results :

Universitatea Craiova vs Rapid Bucharest 1:1

16-03-2008

Rapid Bucharestvs Politechnica Timisoara 0:1

09-03-2008

Otelul Galati vs Rapid Bucharest 0:1

02-03-2008

Rapid Bucharest vs Universitatea Cluj 1:2

23-02-2008

And if before the winterbreak their team looks like one solide and the only capable to fight with CFR Cluj for the title now they will probably lose also the second place.Tensions are too higher there.Their new coach,Mircea Rednic have problems with his players and with the fans.Their boss,George Copos have also problems with the fans and is not very loved by his players.Ha made a lot of managerial mistakes recently and IMO the biggest in past weeks when he started to talk with an arabian Taher and Mohamad Yassin the possibility to sell the club.I don't know if this will remain a certain thing,very possible but this talks wouldn't be supposed to happen right now,before a very important game like this.

Rednic doesn't feel very secure here and as a bomb today a respected newspaper from Romania announced that he will leave the club after this game no matter what will be the result !!!!

All the tickets are already solded...but for sure at Giulesti stadium the fans will be in equals parts.This thing and also the promised primes for both teams create a clear image about the interest for this game:Steaua players will go in to the game with 10000 euros in mind while Rapid players will could have 6000...

Another interesting thing..Rapid doesn't manage to take a single win when they were reffered by toda's central Deaconu,from seven games(including the last year game) they get just three draws).It's not very important aspect but could add a point of view.

This will be the game number 100 between this teams and the 50 played at Rapid's ground.Steaua have advantage here with 18 wins, 16 games were draws and Rapid has won for 15 times.

Table situation:

1. CFR Ecomax Cluj 24 17 5 2 41:17 56

2. Steaua Bucharest 23 14 5 4 26:13 47

3. Rapid Bucharest 23 13 6 4 35:18 45

Becali,Steaua's owner said: "I don't have fear but i like Cesinha (Rapid). He is the most danegrous. With great luck Rapid could make a draw with us."

On the other part,Copos said:"The game against Steaua is decisive and i am sure that we will win.This derby remain a special gamewich will be played with heart." ...he probably want to leave the club with a win against his rival.

Steaua started with a wrong step this year losing surprising away at Poli Iasi.But it was probable just an acomodation between the new and old players at team.After that they obtained three wins in a row leaving the impression that the title is still in play.

The game against CFR Cluj was very disputated and after Cluj lead Steaua helped by the refferees mistakes has turn the result on their favour.For today i am sure that won't have this hand of help.The game will be in big attention and all kind of mistakes won't have any excuse.For sure a draw is not out from question but is also sure that this result will make just one team happy:CFR Cluj. I expect a disputed game and probably the team who will make less mistakes will take in advantage.Probably a loss will have several consequences at Rapid than at Steaua but this pressure on their shoulders is too higher and remain an advantage for Steaua.Habibou,Mendoza or Moreno have shown great abilities and fight spirit.With them on the field Steaua is powerful.And with Lacatus on the bench along with Becali on the VIP's area Steaua doesn't deserve the underdog odd here.
