Manager Gyorgy Mezey spoke briefly before Saturday's final friendly game with Cluj. "I am counting on a serious game against very good opponents when we face the Romanian champions, CFR Cluj, on Saturday. The game is sure to be a serious dual between two good sides. The players will be practising exactly what they have been doing until now, which is to get used to playing international games away from home, together with the tactics that go with it.

It may appear as a passive game, but this is how it is played on the international stage these days. We will be putting out a mixed team, as three players have returned home, while we also have new players here, but not all of them are ready to play just yet. We have also been hit by a new illness to striker Vujovics, who has gone down with fever. I decided to send him home on Friday as a result."
