Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the Board of Directors from FCSBhad an acid reaction to George Găman, the referee who led the Csikszereda – CFR Cluj duel from the center, score 2-2.
It was George Găman who caused a controversial phase in the match at Miercurea Ciuc, after he stopped the game just before the hosts put the ball in the goal, and those in the VAR room could no longer intervene. Mihai Stoica considers the way in which the “central” handled the phase unforgivable.
Mihai Stoica: “George Găman no longer took VAR into account”
“Last night, for example, at Csikszereda – CFR Cluj, the final decision was made by VAR. I don't want to talk about Găman, because I'm going to the committees again. I understand that Găman is very sensitive. He's very sensitive and he's in the game, I know… Găman whistled during a goal phase! He didn't take into account VAR, anything. He whistled for a foul on the goalkeeper after the phase ended. Check after, at VAR. That's how you decide on the field. Goodbye, arbitration!
How to do such a thing? There is no longer a matter of blundering. For that, in my opinion, they should shake hands and give a diploma. VAR is no longer taken into account here. We pay huge sums to have VAR, and a referee did not take VAR into account. He should leave us. Look, he won't let us.
At 2-1 I thought the match was over. Slimani could make it 3-1. When I saw that phase, when the whistle blew before the end of the phase… big mistake. Penalty is given there. Big surprise! A bigger surprise than the result is the execution of that penalty in extra time”, said Mihai Stoica, according to fanatik.ro.
