Meme Stoica revealed how FCSB can eliminate Sparta Prague! “Ajax also suffered”

On Tuesday evening, August 6, immediately after the round leg of the double between FCSB and Sparta Prague, which ended with a draw in the Czech Republic, score 1-1, Meme Stoica revealed live on TV how his team can qualify for the play- off the Champions League.

The red-blues could even win against Sparta Prague, but the goalkeeper Ștefan Târnovanu went wrong on a cross in the 78th minute, and the Czechs took advantage and restored the tie.

Meme Stoica is convinced: just like Ajax, Sparta Prague will not cope with the atmosphere in Bucharest and FCSB will qualify

Sparta Prague and FCSB drew 1-1, on Tuesday evening, in the first leg of the double in the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League. The Red and Blues played well away from the Czech Republic and, in addition to Dawa’s goal in the 61st minute, they had some huge opportunities. Adrian Șut missed with an empty goal in the first half, from a lateral position, while in the second half Alex Băluță could not beat goalkeeper Vindahl from a few meters. In the end, the missed opportunities took their revenge, and Sparta restored the tie in the 78th minute, through Olatunji, due to a blunder committed by Târnovanu, who came out wrong on the cross.

However, FCSB remain with the good performance they managed in the Czech Republic, where Sparta was given a frenzy by around 18,000 supporters. And the general manager of the club believes that Elias Charalambous’ students can get the qualification in Bucharest.

After criticizing the refereeing in Prague, Meme Stoica shifted his focus to the return from the Steaua Stadium and let it be understood that Sparta will be overwhelmed by the atmosphere that the approximately 30,000 fans will create:

“Playing (no qualification)! We can turn the energy that the audience will transmit into an asset. It is known that it is difficult to play against us in a full stadium, because Peluza Nord and Tribuna, when they come together, it is complicated and that is what happened to the Ajax team.

(no Do you regret not playing this match at the Arena?) Yes, I think it would have been the Arena archipelago (no Arena National Stadium). One is 50,000 and another is 30,000! But, as if in Ghencea, as the stands are closer, I think it can be transmitted more and louder”, declared Mihai Stoica, at Great sports.

In the 2012-2013 season, FCSB lost to Ajax away, score 0-2 in the first leg of the sixteenth round of the Europa League. However, in the return from Bucharest, FCSB prevailed 2-0 and pushed the dispute into overtime. In the end, the Red-Blues won on penalty kicks.

It will be played with the house closed

Also about the audience in Ghencea, Meme Stoica declared one more thing. He is convinced that the match FCSB – Sparta Prague, scheduled for Tuesday, August 13, from 21:30, will be played behind closed doors:

“It will be sold-out the return, I think the site is booming now. People thought that too much Sparta… A lot of people talked about Sparta, but I saw all their games this year. They are not a team that will surprise you, they are dangerous in the fixed phases. The cheapest tickets from FCSB – Sparta are 30 lei, to say how our respect for the fans is translated”, said the general manager of FCSB.
