Gigi Becali wants that Fcsb To use two different teams in the next season, one in the European Cups, another in the championship. The technical staff, led by Mihai Pintilii and Elias Charalambous, would like to use a unique skeleton on both fronts, with “maximum 3-4 changes”.
FCSB, the champion of the last two seasons in Superliga, is preparing for the start of a new European season. As in 2024, the red-blue will start the campaign from the first preliminary round of the Champions League.
In principle, it will be the beginning of a long season. Because FCSB starts from the Champions League and has the chance to descend twice, to Conference, and still be qualified on the main panel of a European competition.
Dispute of ideas at FCSB. Gigi Becali: “I want two teams, the Champions League squeezes you” vs. Mihai Pintilii: “I do not see the point, you can change a maximum of 3-4 players”
“I don't do what I did this year. I did very well what I did, but I don't. I mean I did well that God wanted. Now I want to have two teams. I do not want to play the same team in the championship, and in the Champions League. It's no longer the Europa League. The Champions League squeezes you, suck all the energy“, Becali said, who has already moved to Mercato: Graovac, Alibec came and negotiations for Dinamo political dennis are worn.

In the counterpart with Becali's plan, the technical staff of FCSB has another vision. Invited to the latest episode of GSP podcast “2 to 1”, Mihai Pintilii pronounced on the subject.
“It's not too ok (no – use two teams). I did this, and in the championship I had no results. When I used the same players in the championship, and in Europe, I had results. They are young, I go! You can change a maximum of 3-4 players, more I do not see the point. You can't tie these things. You cannot know beforehand, make a team for the championship and one for Europe. It does not guarantee your victories, “said the second coach of FCSB.
