Director of Sports, Mario Felgueiras, has issued a statement after the match, urging the players to stay motivated for the crucial return match against Levski Sofia. In a surprising twist, Felgueiras revealed that the team is open to selling players, citing a strong offer from Pyramids FC for Assad Al Hamlawi.
The Portuguese director acknowledged that football is a business, and that every player has a price tag. He emphasized that the team’s focus should be on the upcoming match against Levski, rather than worrying about the transfer window. “We can’t control what others do, but we can control how we react to this situation,” Felgueiras said. “We need to stay focused on the present and not get distracted by rumors and speculation.”
The loss to Dinamo was a stark reminder of the team’s vulnerabilities, but Felgueiras remains optimistic. “We have a great opportunity to bounce back against Levski, and we need to take it,” he said. The return match will be played at home, and Felgueiras is confident that the team will receive a massive boost from the crowd. “We want to give our fans something to cheer about, and we’re working hard to make that happen.”
In a separate development, Felgueiras mentioned that Assad Al Hamlawi is set to be assessed after a minor injury. However, the director’s statement on the player’s future was more revealing. “Toată lumea e de vânzare la Craiova” (Everyone is for sale at Craiova), he quipped, highlighting the team’s willingness to let players go if a suitable offer comes along.
As the transfer deadline approaches, fans and pundits alike will be closely watching the team’s activities. Will Universitatea Craiova be able to regroup and mount a successful comeback against Levski? Only time will tell.
