Gică Mihali (59), the legend of Dinamo and the former central defender of the Romanian national, had only words of praise to his address Nikita Stoinov (20 years), central defender that “dogs” paid about 450,000 euros this summer.
Brought from Israel, from Netanya, Stoinov He integrated into the team of the team trained by Zeljko Kopic (48 years old). He debuted at the derby with FCSB and had not left the team since then.
Formerly a great central defender, Mihalic He was impressed by the yield that the Israeli offered in the 9 matches played.
Gică Mihali praises Nikita Stoinov, the central defender of Dinamo: “Sensational maturity in the game”
Dinamo's legend greatly appreciates in Stoinov the maturity in the game, as well as the calm. He does not make a mistake, and the fact that he is a left -foot defender is a great advantage, in Mihali's vision.
Stoinov was convened last day at the great national of Israel and the tonight holder is announced, in the traveling match with Italy, from the World Championship preliminaries.
“I like this child, the central defender, Nikita Stoinov. I like it very much. She has a sensational maturity in the game, she passes extraordinarily and goes out with the ball, assumes some things that others, at 25-30 years old, may not.
I don't think he is wrong two passes a match. And, in addition, he is a central left foot defender, and these are very rare. Being left and playing on the left side is a great thing. For example, I was right -handed but I played all my life on the left side.
It wasn't easy for me, but I got used to it, even though I wasn't on my foot. He is left-handed and, I told you, this maturity of his. It is not precipitated, it is calm, it passes well, it comes out with the ball. I like it very much. It is good in the duels one against one.
Be sure that if he had no good matches on the club team, nobody summoned him. That's the way it happens. You are following: you play well, you are summoned; Don't play well, stay home. I am sure they looked, they saw that it has reached an acceptable level and can take the step.
My opinion is that it is better than the one who came now to the national team of Romania, the left -handed -left defender who was tried with Moldova (no – lisav eissat)“, Said Mihali, according to Dinamo1948.Club.
It seems to me a quiet, serious boy. I don't think it will make excesses here in Bucharest. Everything will depend only on him. I saw that everyone from Dinamo – the coach, the leadership – gives him confidence. It will only depend on him.
