Mihai Stoica spoke about the batch problems that plague FCSB: “It’s not good!”

On November 21, 2024, FCSB will meet FC Botoșani, in the remaining match of the 4th stage of the Super League, and the red-blues will travel to Moldova without several starters.

Mihai Stoica, the general manager of the Romanian champion, spoke openly about the team’s problems and confessed that the current situation at the team level is not exactly good.

Meme Stoica is not as optimistic as Gigi Becali. What he said before the FC Botoșani – FCSB dispute

Elias Charalambous lost 9 stars from FCSB in a fireafter the footballers were summoned to the national teams. No less than 5 players from the champion of Romania will go to help Mircea Lucescu’s national team in the disputes with Kosovo and Cyprus, the last ones in the League of Nations.

Risto Radunovic will also make the Montenegro squad for the Nations League matches, while Ngezana and Kiki will represent South Africa and Benin respectively in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. And, last but not least, FCSB also lost Alexandru Musi, who will go to the U20 national team for the Elite League matches against Portugal and Italy.

However, these absences are not the main problems for FCSB. The Romanian champion is hit by a wave of injuries during this period and also several players had various other medical problems such as flu or food poisoning.

In addition, Crețu and Șut are suspended for the match between FC Botoșani and FCSB, which is scheduled for November 21, from 20:00. Given the given context, Meme Stoica could not help but recognize that the team is going through a very delicate moment these days:

(no – about Octavian Popescu) That blow from Vlădoiu… In training he got hit again and it’s a very big pain, which you can bear up to a certain level, and if you hit yourself again… you know how it is. Chiricheş felt a sting in his calf during the warm-up and did not want to risk it. It’s better, that he could go out in the 1st minute and that’s what we were missing. We were thin, because we have injured and suspended. In Chiricheş, it is too soon to see what he has, he will do an MRI. If he felt a sting in his calf, it is a fibrillary injury. The fibers snap, and if they snap a little it’s contracture, muscle spasm, and the bigger it is, the name changes to stretching, tears. Creţu and Şut are suspended (no – with Botoşani), we also have two players who will not be, Ngezana and Risto Radunovic (no – summoned to South Africa and Montenegro). Baluţă came in, had a fight with Cristea and might have stretched a ligament in his knee. Let’s see what it’s all about. It’s not good. Pantîru came and stayed in the room because he had the flu. Luis Phelipe had a toxic infection and stayed at home. When is it going to happen…”, said Meme Stoica, at First Sport.

Gigi Becali has no problems and is convinced that FCSB will win against FC Botoșani

Not as stressed as Mihai Stoica is boss Gigi Becali, who bluntly stated that FCSB will have to beat FC Botoșani even with Andrei Vlad as right back.

You know what’s the matter? You play with FC Botoșani, you have the possibility to come in 2nd place, with 3 points. Well, then you have to beat, even if you put Bîrligea right back. And you still have to knock, understand? I put Vlad as a right back, no! You have to knock, man, there’s no discussion!”, Gigi Becali transmitted, to Fans.

At the same time, when he was put in the position to talk about some of the injured players, the FCSB boss confessed that they do not have serious problems:

The problems went to Tavi, what problems. He has no big problems. Baby what’s wrong with him? That he just had a little cold, what problems… He came in and had no problem. That, Olaru, has no problem anymore. And last night he could go in, but he said he didn’t want to. So the problems…”, the FCSB boss also declared.
