The latest from domestic football
Romanian footballer George Puscas has returned to Internazionale Milan, having been on loan to Palermo, a second-tier Italian team which is only a whisker away from being relegated to the fourth league because of the club's financial problems. The Romanian news agency Agerpress quoted what George Puscas told an Italian website, namely that he still wanted to play in Italy, but there were other teams the Romanian striker had in mind. 23-year old Puscas scored 4 of the 10 goals of Romanian national team's matches at the recently-held European Under-21 Championship. Puscas was the tournament's second best scorer, after Germany's Luca Waldschmidt. UEFA included George Puscas in the competition's' dream team. We recall Romania's national team succeeded to reach as far as the semifinals of the tournament, having also secured its qualification to the 2020 edition of the Olympic Games in Japan.
This coming weekend will see the new domestic football season kick-starting once again. The opening match is this coming Saturday's Supercup game, hosted by the southern Romanian town of Ploiesti and pitting defending champions CFR Cluj against the winner of Romanian Cup in football, Viitorul Constanta. We recall CFR are the holders of the cup they won in 2018, when in the final CFR grabbed a 1-nil win against Universitatea Craiova. Underdogs Viitorul last played a Supercup fixture in 2017, when they sustained a nil-1 defeat by FC Voluntari.
Matches counting towards the domestic championship's League One kick-start next weekend. The first match of round one is scheduled on Friday, July 12, when FC Voluntari takes on Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe. Defending champions CFR Cluj play a home game against Poli Iasi, while vice-champions FCSB on Sunday face FC Hermannstadt on home turf.
