David Niculescu, the son of former international Claudiu Niculescu, has established himself as the top scorer for Rapid București's youth team. The young attacker described his experience at the club as both a pleasure and an honor, emphasizing the significance of representing such a major institution.

Looking ahead to the upcoming derby against FCSB, Niculescu expressed strong confidence in the senior squad's prospects. He specifically highlighted winger Alex Dobre as a key figure capable of making the difference, stating his conviction that Dobre will find the net in the high-stakes encounter.

The youth players are closely following the preparations for the match against FCSB, hoping to secure a positive result for the team managed by Daniel Pancu. This anticipation comes as David continues to build his own path in football, distinct from his father's legacy at clubs like Universitatea Craiova and Dinamo.

Claudiu Niculescu, known as "The Sniper" for his free-kick precision, remains one of Romanian football's most prolific strikers. His career record includes 156 goals in 326 first league appearances, setting a high benchmark for his son as he develops within the Rapid system.
