Mihai Stoica: “Political Dennis deserves a special mention” after FCSB – Drita 3-2
“I was hoping with all my heart to succeed in giving a goal, I thought we would have a chance with a deficit of a goal. So I thought we would score once. Let's score twice as much as I thought, but even 3 … it was over expectations (no – laughs).
Apart from the fact that all the players who entered did very well, I think that A special mention is worth the political dennis. Actually, the goals 2 and 3 left him.
At goal 2 he insisted, Corner came out and scored Graovac, after he beat George very well … Popescu (no – smiles). But goal 3 comes from an extraordinary explosion. The opponent did not expect him to leave so fast and it was a clear penalty.
It's a great thing, because comes after a period when … you realize, it has no way to ignore what has been written, what was to be saidbut it entered very, very good, ”said MM at Primasport.
“We all want with all this heart to be the click. But in Ploiești we played well, I won, even meeting a better team, than Drita. With all respect for our opponents, I think Shkendija and Drita are quite modest opponents,” added the leader from FCSB.

On Friday, at GSP Live, former striker Liviu Ganea, double champion of Romania, urged him to FCSB to be patient with the player bought from Dinamo.
“Okay, he is a player who has not integrated. But look at what the strength he has, how he has taken over the 3-2 penalty. He is a player who knows football and has physical power.
That explosion he has … That's why he has many muscle problems, he is a player who leaves very well with the ball on his foot, do not catch him. I think you need patience with politics, he will be a determining player for FCSB. (…)
When he is physically prepared and will no longer have muscle problems, he is a player who will make the difference. Has a shot, has speed, explosion standing, you can see that you can make your difference. He is not a player who only takes her back or side by side, ”said Liviu Ganea at GSP Live.
