“Impossible! 0 chance for FCSB”

Moreover, the former speedster believes that FCSB can enter the play-offs, but has no chance of winning the title.

The team coached by Elias Charalambous (45 years old) is only in 12th place, with 13 points after 13 stages, 15 behind the surprise leader FC Botoșani.

Pancu he made these statements immediately after the derby won by Rapid on Dinamo's field, score 2-1. Bearing in mind that it is only halfway through the tour, nothing is set in the former coach's view.

“For example, it seems impossible for Botoșani now to get out of the play-off, right? 28 points, 7th place has 18 points, so 10 points compared to exiting the play-off, with 51 left in the game. So anything is really possible.

It's so early to give verdicts… Everyone expected FCSB to have 3-4 wins in a row, they haven't managed it and I don't know if they will do it again. I think it's very difficult, almost impossible for someone from FCSB to think about the title anymore. That's right, we can say that, in the title. The distance from the play-off is 6 points.

Not in the championship anymore… from my point of view, the chances are almost zero. In the play-off the chances remain, although they have to play with Rapid, Dinamo…”, said Pancu, on GSP Live Special.

FC Botoșani is the surprise leader of the Superliga after 13 stages, with 28 points. On 2nd is Rapid, with the same number, and the podium is completed by Craiova University (27).

Dinamo is on 4th place, with 23 points, tied with FC Argeș. Oțelul Galati is the last place in the play-off (19 points).
