Why did Târnovanu defend in black and white?
At the end, Mihai Stoica, the president of the FCSB Board, explained.
“The hosts did not leave us in any form for the goalkeeper to defend in the goalkeeper's equipment, Târnovanu defended in black and white and did it very well. See, Lord, that he would be in completely white equipment, and they had white shorts“, MM told the first sport 1.
5 yearsThey have passed since Târnovanu appeared at FCSB; conquered two titles and two super-blue supercovers
“I did not know what to do after the failure with Botosani!”
Ștefan Târnovanu hopes that the victory with Go Ahead Eagles will be the click of the Romanian champion, who is in a delicate situation in Liga 1, where he obtained only 7 points in the first 10 stages.
“It was a very difficult match, I had a great need not to get a goal. He helped me a lot that I talked to my wife at home and installed me. I was upset after the failure with Botosani, I didn't know what to do! I needed this match. The experience was seen. He sowed with many matches last year.
They had only a very big opportunity. We had good interventions, but when we are compacted we win. We still have things to improve, but we were very good. In the championship we are a disaster, it is sad that we have only so many points. Last year, we started tie the victories after the match with PAOK.
I hope this is the match after which we will come back. Okay, so I thought after the victory with Aberdeen … we have to tie many matches with victories. This victory is also for Lixandru. I have never mentioned you need to operate before the match!“, Târnovanu told the Flash-Interviul in the Netherlands.
Ștefan Târnovanu is the man of the matchfrom my point of view. There are a lot of players who got up to a very good level. The opponent had a higher possession, but only in the first half they had great opportunities. Was seen the experience of FCSB players in the second half
– Ilie Dumitrescu
Târnovanu is the man of the match and is not to be taken into account for 2-3 years. He is a holder in the championship, in the European Cups. The other goalkeepers where are they? Oviedo, “Moviedo”, do not play, do not play any name, I do not name. And at the national team we are ambitious and he does not play. It's not right. Târnovanu must automatically defend with Austria, otherwise I do not understand!
