“Dăncuş will play on Wednesday. I have some double emotions for Dăncuş, but I am convinced that he will not have emotions. I was not afraid for Cercel, he made a couple with Graovac.
It's extremely easy when you pair up with a centre-back who is a defender first, not a kicker, who is primarily concerned with building. This is how I see football, the defender must be a defender”, said Mihai Stoica, the FCSB official, on the “Footbal Show” show, on Prima Sport
