Grinded by medical problems, FCSB will have to improvise in the arrears with FC Botoșani from the fourth stage, scheduled for Thursday, November 21, at 20:00. Gigi Becali revealed that Malcom Edjouma will be appointed as a central defender.
Alexandru Băluță, Baba Alhassan, Alexandru Pantea, Mihai Lixandru, Florin Tănase and Alexandru Musi will not be part of the team, while Vlad Chiricheș is uncertain, due to the injury suffered during the warm-up before the game with U Cluj, won by the red-blues, score 2-1.
The list of unavailables doesn’t stop there, however. Valentin Crețu and Adrian Șut will be suspended for the accumulation of cards, and Risto Radunovic and Siyabonga Ngezana – summoned to the national teams of Montenegro and South Africa respectively – will not be able to return in time. Joyskim Dawa also suffered a sprain and there is a good chance he will not recover.
Gigi Becali improvises for the match with FC Botoșani. Edjouma will be a central defender
Considering the problems in the center of the defense, Gigi Becali decided to reprofile Malcom Edjouma. It remains to be seen how he will manage, given that he has not performed in that position before.
However, the boss does not even think that the team leaves without the three points. They even expect the victory to be achieved with at least two goals difference.
“We will put Vlad as a central defender or a central midfielder. I can’t say the team now, because we’re going to do some improvisation. But we have no one to play with in the match against Botoșani.
We’re going to have forwards be defenders. I can’t say. We have nothing to do. I also told MM that we have no one to play with. The ones from the national team are missing and that’s why we are like this.
In attack we will have Bîrligea, Miculescu and George Popescu. Tavi has nothing left. We will also have Olaru. Bottom line, you’ll laugh your head off when you see what’s going to be there. Malcom will play central defender. He has no one. It’s not that we can beat them, we want to beat them from two up”, declared Becali for fanatik.ro.
What the first 11 of FCSB could look like:
Târnovanu – Ștefănescu, Edjouma, M. Popescu, Panțiru – Olaru, L. Phelipe – Baeten, Oct. Popescu, Miculescu – Bîrligea
reserves: A. Vlad, Musi, D. Popa, M. Toma + other players from the Academy
