With heads up to Harghita!
Politehnica will play in two days, on the field of AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc, the last game of the 2020-21 season. Unfortunately, the white-violets no longer have a chance to get a place in the dam.
“We would have had chances if we had won the last match, with Mioveni, but we are going to leave a good last impression. I’ll see what first 11 I’ll use, there will probably be a few players who played less and then we’ll draw the line and see exactly what was good, what was bad. We will take stock and announce our future plans. It is certain that the team looked good in this play-off, except for the match in Mioveni, unfortunately we did not manage to bring two or three extra points, which would have given us the opportunity to fight now in Ciuc with real chances for dam. We are going to respect the competition and get the most out of this game. We meet a team that has the opportunity to play the dam, it also depends on the result from Craiova. It will definitely be a very motivated team, it is one of the good teams of the championship, they looked good most of the time. It’s a team made up of young players and when they had games with stakes this was seen, they clicked, but as a game, as an expression, it’s one of the best teams in League 2 “, said Dan Alexa, the head coach of Politehnica .
If after the last stage the white-violets would be equal in points with the Calarasi Danube, the team prepared by Cristian Pustai would be considered better ranked because the tie criterion established for this phase was the number of points with which the teams they entered the playoffs. “I also found this criterion strange, at equal points with Călăraşi we would have had new direct matches, but we were notified at the beginning of the play-off that this will be the first criterion, with the position in the standings at the time of entering the play -off. But it really seems so, illogically, we have nothing to do now. All the more we have regrets that we lost some points at the end of the regular season, which we should not have lost. For me as a coach, it’s a regret, because one of the reproaches I can make is that the team started to play well for very well only in the playoffs and that’s up to me “, said the white-violets technician.
Regarding the health condition of the police, things remained unchanged, our team being deprived in this last round of the services of Otto Hindrich and Ionuţ Cioinac.
The AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc – Politehnica Timişoara match will be played on Sunday, May 23, at 6.30 pm (broadcast on Digi Sport 2, Telekom Sport 2, Look Sport), in the 10th (last) stage of the League 2 play-off. The white-violets are on 6 with 40 points, while the hosts from Harghita have one more point and occupy the 5th position.
