Steaua Bucharest

It had to be Ludogorets as well. Maybe they thought they could win victory from Steaua.

Gardos I think is an important loss for Steaua. Both him and Chriches were undoubtely the best player at Steaua's Defense. Good luck to both.

Varela's all right for now. I think he's proven to be an aerial threat for Dead Ball Situations. Szukala's experienced as well so Steaua are OK in the back methinks.

Ludogorets is full of South American talent which actually blends well with the Balkan Style of Football so I can see why this game will be tough.

The bulgarians are too optimistic. I'm not saying that Steaua is far better, but I think, even if Steaua is in a pretty bad form, it will be a balanced match.

Tonev(a Ludogorets fan):
''Hamza just signed with Ludogorec, Ludogorec is wining both games, steaua is shit they barley beat some team from Kazakhstan last round, Ludogorec is a very fast and explosive team that took out PSV and Lazio from Europe last year Steaua has a minimal Chance at best steaua is finished this round.''

About Chiriches and Gardos... yeah, they are an awesome couple of central defenders for the level of romanian football. At least, I can watch them at national team.
PS: Gardos is on the UEFA paper for the play-off, so he may play for us.

Good luck at your new team, Gardos!

Can't wait for the match

Except Arlauskis, Varela and Sanmartean, we played with substitutes looking forward for the match against Ludogorets.
Who wants Hamza when we have Keseru?   I hope he will be starter against Ludogo.

Bookmarkers consider that Ludogorets are favourites, they are giving 56% chances to qualify for Ludogorets and 44% for Steaua. It's a little bit weird, anyway...

That's awesome man. You actually got to see the game. Nice

Well, I actually saw this game on my Desktop as well.

Sanmartean is awesome, man. The guy could easily be playing for a top league with the way he's been playing lately. Chipciu had a lot of chances as well but the Bulgarian GK was immense as well. Even stopped a Penalty from Chipciu. I was glad that Chipciu got the better of the GK in the end. Steaua score and received no goals. Chances should favor Steaua now, I think.

Also a comment for the Steaua manager Galca. He reminds me so much of Emery. He was pretty emotional the whole game and his tactics seem very similar. From what I've seen he likes to play direct Football and likes to pressure alot wherever the ball is. When Steaua had the ball I saw some free-flowing Football and when they defended there was always limited space for the Ludogorec players. Hopefully he proves to be smart when facing tougher opposition. But for now he left a good impression on me. I like him.

Congrats! That was a lucky last minute winner, but a winner nonetheless!

I'm happy you saw the game. The atmosphere was awesome.
I share your opinion about Chipciu and Sanmartean. Sanmartean is very talented!
Latovlevici was awful. I hope he will leave. Only mistakes... I don't know how he still plays in the first eleven.
For the next match Chipciu won't be able to play because he has four yellow cards, but probably we will have Tanase back.

A fully deserved win

They played thinking about the match with Ludogorets.

Today is the Z day! The match will be broadcasted in 20 countries, including USA or Australia.

Last informations are good: Tanase and Arla will play.
This is our first 11:

                Arlauskis

Rîpă, Szukala, Varela, Latovlevici

           Breeveld, Prepeliţă

Ad. Popa, L. Sînmărtean, Cr. Tănase

                   Keşeru

Glad to have Keseru playing as starter. Due to Tanase playing, Sanmartean will play in center, even if his main position is in the left.
The bulgarian coach says that they can score for sure at least three goals. Our coach, Galca, is confident as well. He says that the smell of CL is in the air, but that they have to concentrate very good and play for a win, not only to qualify.
I have a fear for a mistake made by Latovlevici. I am a little bit nervous for this match.

FORZA STEAUA!

Good luck to you!

Thanks!

I'm very, very disappointed. How can they have this luck? Tanase injured in first minute and we lost a change in a 120 minutes match.
Varela escaped in minute 120 alone with the goal, but got fouled by their GK.
I wasn't never as sad as last night after a football match.
Sanmartean was again the man of the match, in my opinion.
Congratulations to Ludogorets, but they played ugly.

Well, I'm sorry for your loss, but somehow that match was really unbelievable. That Ludogorets Ersatz-GK was really incredible....

The irony: He is romanian and played several years for Dinamo Bucharest, our biggest rivals.

Well, if he had played for your team before and not your rivals, he probably wouldn't have saved the pens, I guess

At least, Astra eliminated Lyon...
Hope you will beat Ludogorets and revenge us.

Din. Kiev
Steaua
Rio Ave

Hope we will pass through the group stages.

Bourceanu back to Steaua for one year!
Our true leader is back!

Paul Papp from Chievo to Steaua for one year.

Our former top scorer is back. Raul Rusescu(from Sevilla) signed for one year with Steaua.

Rusescu could've been useful against Ludogorec. At least Europa's not so bad. Still gonna watch Steaua.

Bourceanu's return will strength the midfield.

Steaua 3-1 Gaz Metan

Sanmartean was the man of the match again, with 2 assists and a superb goal directly from corner.
