Nicolae Dică (45 years old), coach at FCSB in two rows, speaks highly of Alexandru Stoian, the young striker of the champion.
Alexandru Stoian, 17, was bought from Farul for 500,000 euros. Meanwhile, the amount almost doubledin accordance with the performance clauses stipulated in the contract.
Stoian has impressed in the 13 appearances he has made so far at FCSB, in which he has scored 3 times. They are his first goals for the seniors, considering that he had not scored at Farul in the same number of matches.
Nicolae Dică, former player and coach at FCSB, feels that Stoian has a great potential, which could be unlocked if he gets more playing minutes.
Nicolae Dică feels that Gigi Becali has a “gold mine” in his backyard: “He can become very good!”
Asked at GSP Live who are the players he appreciates, Dica named 3 footballers.
“I really liked it We bathe in this beginning of the championship.
From FCSB I like it Bîrligea for everything he does on the field, his dedication, his attitude. He seems to me a very, very important player.
And now Stoian. I've followed him since he was at the Lighthouse. In the moments when Mr. Hagi introduced him, I liked his courage, that positive attitude. He was born in 2007, he was 16 years old then. He received the ball and took it to dribble the opponent, drew fouls, scored.
I like his personality. I think he can become a very good player, but he needs to be given confidence, more playing time. The rule helps him. When you have a player like that, who can grow, who you've invested money in…
I don't know him, I don't know how he trains, but I see his football qualities and I think he's very good. He can also play in several positions.
From what I saw, he played well as a forward as well, but also in the flanks, especially on the left side. He can go inside, on his right foot, and hit the goal. At the moment he seems to me a good player who can become very good“, is Nicolae Dică's analysis.
Stoian made an immediate impact in his most recent appearance, against Gloria Bistrița, in the Romanian Cup groups. Entered '65, scored 25 minutes later. He also scored for FCSB in the championship, with Hermannstadt this season, with CFR in the last match of the previous season.
