Can CFR Cluj produce the surprise?

Posted on | October 2, 2008 | 1 Comment

Definitely the revelation of this Champions League season is CFR Cluj.
The Romanians produced one of the biggest shocks in Champions League history as they defeated the Italian giants AS Roma at Olimpico.
CFR Cluj produced another fine display against Chelsea last night. CFR held last year’s finalists Chelsea to a goalless draw and proved that the victory against Roma was not an accident.
This good results have not past unnoticed and attracted the attention of some major clubs in Europe. Possible target for a big transfer in January are Dubarbier and Culio, the man that buried Roma at Olimpico. Coach Maurizio Trombetta is hoping for more of the same in the crucial double against Bordeaux.
What’s really to apreciate is that six years ago  Cluj was fighting in third division and now they are bravely doing in the Europe‘s elite.
With real chances of qualification CFR Cluj are now taken seriously in consideration.
