Krasniqi and Hasani aim for the title with Rapid

Two of the four winter reinforcements at Rapid Bucharest, Ermal Krasniqi and Florent Hasani, have insisted that their goal is the title of Romanian champion. Krasniqi and Hasani were presented on Thursday at Rapidi along with the other two January reinforcements, and they spoke on the eve of the resumption of the second half of the Romanian championship. The spring season starts on Friday, where two matches will be played.

Rapid welcomes the Craiova team at home, in the match that starts at 19:00. Currently, Rapid is fourth in the table with 33 points, 11 less than FCSB who lead the table. Krasniqi joined Rapid from Cluj, while Hasani from the Tirana team.

They will be teammates with striker Albion Rrahmani, who at the beginning of this edition was transferred from the Balkan team. Even Rrahmani will be ready for the Rapidi game, as he has already fully recovered from the injury he suffered with Kosovo months ago.

Unlike Hasan, Krasniqi was shorter in the press conference. In the first half of this edition, the 25-year-old made two assists in 12 championship matches with Cluj. He has a contract with Rapid until the summer of next year, and has the option of extending for another year.

"I am very happy to be part of this club. I am looking forward to the game against Craiova. I know the fans of the club because I played against Rapid with Cluj. I will give everything from myself to get the best results and finish as high as possible in the table", said Krasniqi.

Hasan also said that he is very happy that he will wear the jersey of Rapid, but he did not hesitate to reveal his goals with the new team. The 26-year-old has a contract with the Romanian team until the summer of 2026. He has revealed that he did not hesitate for a moment to join Rapid when he received the offer.

"I am very happy to be at Rapid. I decided with all my heart to be part of this club. I think we have a very high quality team and of course until the end of the edition we will fight for the first places in the table. We must be physically and mentally prepared and give everything from ourselves in each match", said Hasani, who also spoke about the duel with Craiovan.

The Craiova team ranks ninth in the table with 27 points collected. On the other hand, in the last five games of the fall season, Rapid has collected only three points, recording three draws and two losses.

"Against Craiova, of course we will play for victory. We will give 100 percent of ourselves. The atmosphere here is very good and I expect great support from the fans", said Hasani.

In addition to Hasan and Krasniqi, the Rapid Bucharest team has also transferred Borisav Burmaz and Damjan Djokovic in the winter transfer window, who were also present at this press conference.
