The officials asked the players to forget about money this week. The football-players said that they will play from self-pride against Steaua, but they will make a memoir after

For lack of money and the shareholders, the chiefs from Giuleşti try motivate the team with prayers and calls to self-pride. "It is a match with Steaua, you do not play only for you, think about the thousands of people who crowded the sports ground in the match with Buzău. How would it be if you make a memoir now?! Forget about money these days, defeat the rival and we promise that, next week, all the debts will be paid!", this was the message which received yesterday Maftei and his colleagues.

But the players were not glad about the leadership offer and they warned: "We train; we will play as well as possible against Steaua, but then we will approach the Federation! We do not want to make something bad to the club, but think about our families. It is about our careers, we cannot play for free! Our aim is not to become free of contract, we only want our money, the amounts we signed for!".

Taher is late

The executive leadership has troubles with the extension of the conflict between Copos and Taher. The Hashemite didn’t return yet in Romania and said to his close friends that “I still have business to do in Aman, so I do not know if I arrive until Sunday, for the match!". "We have to do all the possible and get the money until the beginning of next week!", this is the conclusion which reached the administrators of Rapid.

"A match with Steaua means nice atmosphere and thirst of victory! We all think about this now!"

PIERRE BOYA, forward Rapid

"The boys are conscious that their self-pride is at stake. Steaua is coming and the admirable supporters from Rapid deserve to see devotion on the ground!"
