“He faces Gigi Becali!”. The coach who gave Mihai Popescu his debut at Dinamo, strong revelations about the new player from FCSB

The coach, who gave Mihai Popescu his debut at Dinamo, spoke about how the 31-year-old defender will settle in at FCSB.

Mihai Popescu scored the first minutes, for Dinamo, in December 2016, in a game lost by the “dogs”, 1-2, against ASA Târgu Mureș. At that time, the coach of the formation of “Ștefan cel Mare” was Ioan Andone.

Ioan Andone speaks in laudatory terms about the new player from FCSB. At the same time, it reveals that the experienced defender he is very well mentally, so he will not be affected by the exuberant reactions that boss Gigi Becali has after every match.

“He is an experienced player. It can help those from FCSB, because they will have the Europa League, the Romanian Cup, the championship… And red cards can appear, especially for defenders. He played constantly at Farul, but Gica also used him as a right back. I used him in a system with three centre-backs on the right.

I say it’s a good transfer for our championship. Now it depends where FCSB will decide to play him. He gained experience after that period, he was young when I brought him to Dinamo. He also played in Scotland, he was not a reserve. I don’t know why it didn’t stay.

He can impose himself at FCSB, because Dawa is a player you never know when he gets a red card. He attacks decisively, although he has good strength, he has a great head game, he appears in the finish. I say that Mihai competes with Dawa and Ngezana, because he is a good player. We also need defenders in the national team. If he imposes himself at FCSB, he will surely enter the views of Mircea Lucescu at the national team.

I saw that a case is being made with Ștefănescu. Well, at his age, what does it matter that the boss is talking about him? He has to play well, as well as he can. That is to have attitude and achievements. I say that Mihai will not have a problem. He’s a pretty cool guy and won’t be in trouble. I say he will face Gigi Becali. Everyone knows Gigi Becali. They put pressure on themselves, because they know they are playing poorly. That Gigi accentuates this is something else,” declared Ioan Andone, exclusively, for ProSport.

Ioan Andone, about how Mihai Popescu will be seen by Dinamo fans, after the transfer to FCSB

Asked if Mihai Popescu will have problems with Dinamo fans, since he signed with rival FCSB, “Fălcosul” said that, in his opinion, this will not happen.

“It’s been a long time since he was at Dinamo. If you transfer from Dinamo to FCSB, you can have problems. But he played in Scotland, then he arrived at Farul, I don’t think he will have problems”, Ioan Andone said.
