A long day in Cluj-Napoca

16 december 2009 13:00

The PSV squad will enjoy a fairly long day in wintry circumstances in Cluj-Napoca before they take on CFR Cluj in their final Europa League Group K game tonight at 22.05 local time. The freezing cold temperatures in Cluj will last all day and it is snowing in the Romanian university town.

Late kick-off

While the travelling party of sponsors and business partners took a walk around town this morning and played a fun football quiz, the players and technical staff are at the hotel, ahead of tonight’s late kick off. Winter has set in but the snow in the streets of Cluj-Napoca - 350,000 inhabitants among whom a large student population - creates a wonderful spectacle. The team will return to their hotel after midnight and will fly back to Eindhoven tomorrow morning. Some 70 diehard PSV fans will attend tonight’s game.

The shy is overcast.
