Iosif Rotariu, 62 years old, 4 times champion of Romania with Steaua București, believes that the level in the current play-off has dropped compared to previous years. In addition, it dismantles the idea that FCSB would no longer present at a high level due to fatigue.
After 4 of the 10 stages of play-off, the FCSB leader and the occupant of the 3rd place, Craiova University, are separated by only 3 points. Even in the 6th place the difference is not insurmountable, quickly being 8 lengths behind the en-tite champion.
Iosif Rotariu, hard radiography of the play-off: “None looks like a champion!”
At the question “does FCSB show the champion at this time?”, Former star Iosif Rotariu, with 4 titles won in the red-blue equipment, responds without money:
“No one of the teams that are there shows anymore! The championship has dropped value to the past seasons. In any strong championship in the world there are two teams that fight for the title, not 7 or 5 ”.
The former international, however, is expected for Sita to string, and in the trophy race only the current 3 ranked first:
“I am FCSB, CFR and Craiova there, the 3 teams with chance to win, but it depends on what they will do in the direct matches. It's balanced.”
Iosif Rotariu: “FCSB fatigue? So do you invoke when your game does not come out!”
Regarding FCSB, Iosif Rotariu does not accept the idea that the fatigue accumulated this season would be to blame for recent less inspired benefits.
“Under no circumstances! When you play football from 3 to 3 days you only enter at a better rate, have continuity, homogeneity. These are things you invoke when your game does not come out,” says the former midfielder in dialogue with gsp.ro.
Instead, believes that FCSB can no longer mask the impact of the absence of Darius Olaru:
“I think the lack of Darius Olaru matters a lot. For a very long time he pulled the team after him. He found solutions when the game did not work!
FCSB has no player who can make the difference as Olaru made. Sure, a team does not depend only on a player but generally, The absence of a very important player over a long period of time feels”.
