Mihai Lixandru (24 years old) has become one of the past players, for the moment, on Gigi Becali's black list. The defensive midfielder, affected by a serious injury last season, was vehemently criticized on the red-blue patron, although before he was his favorite.

“I was wrong. Lixandru does not recover, for nothing! I had a weakness for him, I tried it and I tried it. I was wrong. Lixandru did not recover, for nothing! I had a weakness for him, I tried it and I tried it,” said Gigi Becali after FCSB-the 5-1 Unirea.

Mihai Lixandru has serious competition: no integralist match

At this moment, competition in the middle line at FCSB is extremely strong. Adrian Şut and Vlad Chiricheș are the two holders, and on the list are Baba Alhassan, Malcom Edjoua, re -in -laws to Gigi Becali, and Mihai Lixandru, who now seems to have lost the employer's support.

Lixandru has 7 matches in his right, but he has never played more than one half.

In Superliga it has 4 games, with Hermansntadt, Oil, Lighthouse and Unirea Slobozia. In all it started as a holder and every time it was changed at the break. The Super Cup entered the 82nd minute, and in the UCL preliminaries he entered the 90th minute with Inter d'Hete and in the 86th minute with Shkendija.

The moment that changed everything

The FCSB raised footballer lost in less than a year the state he had in the red-blue team. The reason? A ligament break, after an injury suffered in the match with PAOK, in the Europa League group. It was operated on and returned after only 6 months, in April 2025.

He had 17 matches at that time and was among Gigi Becali's favorites. Lixandru came after a period of one year in which the employer praised him constantly and even increased his salary thanks to good developments.

“Lixandru will not be missing from the field. He is a valuable player. He has earned his status as a holder”, “I realized that Lixandru is better. Ready, we have a certainty! Lixandru is better. They say:” On the attack it is better. Or “Lixandru I put in defense. He was very good there, but also in the middle, when he climbed, it was extraordinary” were some of the statements that Becali gave about Lixandru constantly.

Since then, Lixandru has not returned to the form shown in the previous season, and Gigi Becali has announced that he has lost his patience.

How much Mihai Lixandru played in recent years

Increased at FCSB, Lixandru played in the 2020-2021 season at Viitorul Tg. Jiu, in season 2021-2022 was borrowed at Gaz Metan and CS Mioveni, and the following year continued at CS Mioveni. From the summer of 2023 it is part of the red-blue lot.
