GSP exercise: How will it look Fcsb Summer, after Darius Olaru's return? Is the captain of the champion with cisotti juries compatible? And where will the player usually evolve?
Seriously injured to the shoulder in the winter cantonment in Antalyain a training party with Hamburg, Olaru not played at all this year for FCSB.
Even so, the red-blue level was extremely high. The team ranks first in Liga 1 after the 5th stage of the play-off and reached the Europa League final, winning without the offensive midfielder with Qarabag.

Cisotti attenuated the absence of Olaru
In winter, FCSB found a tailor -made replacement for Olaru, Juri Cisotti. The Italian gave immediately the champion, produced 6 goals in 16 appearances. And even made Gigi Becali to declare: “It's better than Olaru!”
As Darius Olaru will be apt from the beginning of the next season, a debate is born: What will the first “11” of the FCSB and Olaru, and with available cisotti look like? Are they compatible? Considering that the former midfielder from Otelul was just to replace Darius and became a basic man of the team trained by Charalambous and Pintilii.
Two defensive midfielders, Cisotti, Olaru and …
FCSB has played the best in the last two years using a tandem in front of the defense, either Şut-Lixandru or Sut-Ciricheș. Thus, it is expected that FCSB will sit in 4-2-3-1 and in the 2025-2026 edition, an idea supported by the technical staff and Mihai Stoica.
Behind the attacker Daniel Bîrligea, it is expected that Olaru should be used as “number 10”, the post that the media has played best at FCSB. Basically, from the moment he was moved from central midfielder to offensive midfielder, Olaru began to produce significantly more.
There are two stations in the attack: the bands. On the current structure of the FCSB lot, there is only one variant for Florin Tanase: left side striker. Thus, Cisotti would be distributed to the right, as it happened, for example, in confrontation with PAOK in Greece. David Miculescu would compete. But not only.
Where does U21 footballer play?
The first “11” above would be valid for European cups.
In the championship, FCSB will take care, the same since 2016: the player usually. For the 2025-2026 championship, the players eligible for the rule imposed by the federation will be those born after January 1, 2004.
What solutions does FCSB have at this time:
- Andrei Dăncuș (16 years, central defender);
- Ionuț Cercel (18, right defender);
- Alexandru Musi (20, far left);
- Mihai Toma (18, far left);
- Alexandru Stoian (17, far left);
- Denis Colibășanu (18, striker).
At the first impression, the post on which the footballer will usually be used in FCSB should be the far left – that would be best covered.
How could FCSB look in season 2025-2026
- Târnovanu – V. Crețu, Ngezana, M. Popescu, Radunovic – Şut, Chiricheș/Lixandru – Cisotti/Miculescu, Olaru, Musi/M. Toma/Al. Stoian/fl. Tanase* – Bîrliga
*Tanase could complete the line behind Bîrligea in European Cups
