Mihai Stoica, 60, president of the Board of Directors at FCSB, commented the starting team chosen by Mircea Lucescu for The decisive match between Romania and Austria. The champion official did not fall well that Florin Tanase begins as a reserve, and David Miculescu did not even catch the game sheet.
FCSB gave 6 players to this month's action. Five of them are in the group for the match with Austria (9:45 pm), while David Miculescu did not catch the game sheet. Of the 5, two are the holders: the central defender Mihai Popescu and the striker Daniel Bîrligea.
Mihai Stoica says he was expecting to see in the first “11” and goalkeeper Stefan Târnovanu, respectively midfielder Florin Tanase. The official of the champion does not accept the situation of David Miculescu, who will watch the match today.
Two aspects reproached by Mihai Stoica before Romania – Cyprus: “I do not agree, I do not understand!”
“I was expecting to be Târnovanu and Tanase, but I do not defend Târnovanu and do not play Tanase. But give God everything well and to be the inspired choices.
Certainly I don't understand one thing. In the last official match in which Tanase was a holder, he opened the scoring, with Cyprus, 2-0. Since then he has not caught the team. Not that he did not catch it, but it caught 6, respectively two minutes. It seems to me … This is not Stanciu!
I still have a thing. I thought that Miculescu was called for such matches, in which we, theoretically, meet a stronger opponent than us. Now, Austria, as it was presented with Cyprus does not seem to be a strong team at all. But not at all. Austria with Cyprus was a very weak team. Cyprus had to win that match, the penalty was invented, and the result that did not happen on the field.
But with all that I thought that Variant (no – alternative) to Man would be a defensive valence player to help Rațiu. I think Rațiu has very big defensive problems and needs someone to help him. Well, the variant La Man is Moruțan, and Miculescu in the stands.
Miculescu is not a player to play against Moldova and San Marino. No, you can play with Moruțan. These are opinions. It does not suit me when the players leave, they stay with the weeks to the national team, and do not play!”, Stoica tuned at Primasport.
