Mihai Stoica also criticized the arbitration in the match Aberdeen-FCSB, 2-2, from the Europa League play-off.
Like Daniel Bîrligea and the owner Gigi Becali, and the chairman of the FCSB Board of Directors was disappointed by the way Dandar Gözübüyük arbitrated. He revealed what happened when he talked to him about the elimination of Juri Cisotti.
Mihai Stoica, after Aberdeen – FCSB: “A very weak arbitration”
“I talked to the referee. I told him a variant, he turned his back and left. The referee said that Cisotti did not intend to play the ball. Yes, but not in any situation where the player does not intend to play the ball is red. He said yes.
I saw 100 shirts in which yellow was yellow. I did not see the shirt to be red. The foul exists, but it is somehow made more of the negligence. He tries to keep him away, he goes with his knee and wipes him to his feet. If it was hindrance, then it was clearly red.
It was a very weak arbitration. There was also a phase in which an opponent hit Tanase wild and gave him yellow. At one point, Tanase escaped alone and I was scared, not to give her the second yellow for simulation. I saw the phase, that one pushed it, ”Mihai Stoica told Primasport.
Asked if he was afraid that UEFA could suspend Daniel Bîrligea for the after-match statements, Mihai Stoica to declare that no, but that he is expecting anything.
“Not. I don't know. So far I have never heard of UEFA to suspend a player for statements. But we can happen to us“, Added the red-white official.
I think the referee was little in their favor. In the second minute he told me that I was talking too much, and I just told him I suffered an obvious foul. From two to two minutes he told us that we were talking too much, gave us yellow, yellow, yellow. It was also seen at that red card.
I think cisotti didn't even touch it. I did not see any lime control. He said “No, no, no.” You couldn't talk to him. I don't know what country he came from, who is believed. I don't think he arbitrated bin! I hope we have a correct arbitration in the return match so we can play football. That's not possible!
We hope that the UEFA will do an investigation or something like that. From the first minute he held with them. From the second minute he told me I was talking to them. I don't know what arrogance it came from or where it came from. He ruined football.
