Cristian Gălan, Politehnicii’s head coach, was satisfied with the effort of his students in the friendly against Progresul Ciacova (score 7-0), played on Saturday morning at the “Dan Paltinisanu” arena.

“We tried to put into practice what we have been working on in our days together. The boys fully respected what we prepared and I am really very pleased with their attitude, the determination with which they approached the match and these are things that give us satisfaction for what is to come. We were aware that it was going to be quite a hard road, but we are confident and we will certainly be able to do what we want“, said Cristi Gălan.

It was also a game in which the young coach saw a number of players from outside the club at work for the first time. “They had good performances, but we can’t comment on them yet because we have been with them for a short time and it would be premature to give a verdict on them now. They’ll stay with us and depending on how things evolve we’ll make our decisions“, concluded the “main” player.

Poli’s first official game of the new season follows, in the second round of the Romanian Cup, on Wednesday, August 7, at 17.30, at the home of fellow Romanian team Progresul Pecica. “First of all we have to manage to legitimize players, so that we can have a squad as close to reality as possible. It will probably be quite a tough match because Pecica have strengthened, they’ve got some players and it’s a game that we’ll approach like all the others, we’ll win!“, emphasized Cristian Gălan.
