In a live discussion regarding the U21 rule in Superliga, Mihai Stoica, the chairman of the FCSB Board of Directors, again positioned against and annoyed when he remembered the statements made by Darius Olaru and Mihai Lixandru last month.
The two midfielders from FCSB said in May that, at the beginning of the road, the U21 rule helped it. Mihai Stoica does not agree and believes that Olaru and Lixandru have declared this only of common sense, having a nervous reaction when he was mentioned live at the first sport 1 by the two champions with FCSB.
Mihai Stoica: “Olaru and Lixandru are not right”
“I beat the plains! They are not right. It means they do not know that it did not help the rule.
When Petrila was borrowed in Sepsi, they were rule '98. He was not a rule of time at Sepsi and still playing.
If Olaru says he helped the rule, he has a good sense. Olaru played anywhere, anytime, because he was very good. Play from 17 years. It was used wrong with Gas Metan and still play.
If it was not the rule, Olaru was no longer a footballer, he was playing in Alba July (ironic) ”, said Mihai Stoica, at the first sport 1.
Răzvan Burleanu: “Without the U21 rule, this development would not have been possible”
Instead, Răzvan Burleanu wanted to praise the U21 rule again, recently, by merging that it has contributed to the qualifications of the Romanian nationals, the youth and the seniors.
“I also said in a press conference, the Under 21 rule is just an instrument in all this development we have in Romanian football today. Take into account that, in the summer of 2024, 20 players in the 26 lot that were present in Germany have passed to the last three generations of U21.
We invest somewhere at 5 million euros in all our football competitions, plus two more in Grassroots competitions. Without the U21 rule, without investments, without this modern format in the Elites League, without all this rigorous scouting procedure, without this audit of the academies and without the training of the coaches, this development would not have been possible ”, said Burleanu, according to Golazo.ro.
