Victor Piţurcă (69 years old), the former Romanian coach, entered the direct and commented Mamadou Thiam's transfer (30) to FCSB. The champion of Romania took it from U Cluj, paying 50,000 euros and offering in a definitive exchange on Andrei Gheorghiță (23 years).
The Senegalese debuted on Sunday for the new team, in the failure on their own ground with FC Argeș, score 0-2. He took the place then after the break to Darius Olaru, and the owner Gigi Becali (67 years old) was delighted by his evolution.
Pițurcă does not see with good eyes Thiam's transfer to FCSB: “He is not a player to run”
After the match with Argeș, Becali He regretted the fact that he did not start the match with Thiam in “First 11” and said that, after seeing him at 45 minutes, he was convinced that he is a footballer and that, with his arrival, he will be even harder for Alibec to win his place in the team.
Pițurcă claims that the FCSB owner is in a hurry, and in a month he will pull him on the dead line if he will not give satisfaction in the champion shirt.
“Maybe it would be necessary to let the coaches make the changes (no – Gigi Becali). If one or two more matches are losing, I think it will withdraw for a period, two to three weeks. From a tactical point of view, the team is well prepared.
But I think it was a total relaxation after winning the championship. They made parties, they did not train seriously and they thought it would be a flower in the ear and in the next season. Probably the preparation was more relaxed, and from here they appeared these “palms” that they have received now.
When you accept the employer to make your team and changes, then you should no longer call yourself a coach. However, I am convinced that the team will recover.
I don't think Thiam is what they need. I think in a month the employer will say “ready, let him go.” FCSB is not the University of Cluj, this thing is clear. Let's see after a two-match. If no to run … Thiam is not a player to run, he is an execution player, he is something else, “said Victor Pițurcă, according to digisport.ro.
