On Saturday morning, “Ştiinţa” Arena hosted a test football (author note, aka a.n. forward on) game which was meant to have our technical staff noticing some possible recruit players for Poli. Their opponents were our Juniors from Generations 2003, -04 and -05.

The team formed mainly by the “trialists” won the game 1-0 through Bogdan Pop’s goal (10th minute) from the penalty spot, following on a fault upon Samuel Costea, player who arrived in tests from CSC Ghiroda and Giarmata Vii.

Andrei Luduşan (from the players present at the reunion) is no longer preparing with our team, but there are several players instead who have arrived here as possible “recruits”. Details about them, below.

First Half I: Păduraru – Sporin (ACS Poli), Moțiu, Codrea, R. Popa (ACS Poli) – Vidrăsan, Flavius ​​Budin (2001, Cugir), Angelo Iuga (1997, Pecica), B. Pop (CFR Cluj), Samuel Costea (2001, Ghiroda) – Alin Dobre (2002, Academica Clinceni II).

Second half: Popeţ – Dincă, Stoia (all ACS Poli), Bîrlovean, Coroiu – Gologan, Grimmer (Fortuna), Trip, Gaşpar, Românu (ACS Poli) – Piţigoi.

“It was a pretty successful game, but unfortunately there are many players and I only managed to focus on those from my team. The other ones, from the juniors, were watched by Sorin Brîndescu. We had like 20 players in “trials”, we watched them all and decided to keep only six of them who will continue with us for another week and on the next Saturday we’ll finish the trials and analysis. It was a preliminary trial and next week we will draw the line and then focus on the Senior players to complete our squad. Next week we will continue the preparations locally, there will be two training sessions a day and a new game on Saturday, at home, moment that we are expecting the fans to be cheering us. From the 5th (of July) we’ll start with our summer training camp, a centralized training stage with friendly games every three days”, said the Head Coach, Dorin Toma, after today’s school game.

Our team will therefore play a first friendly on Saturday, July 3rd, at home, the opponent will be confirmed soon. The friendly games program continues as it follows:
