Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the FCSB Administrative Council, announced that the champion footballers will receive unprecedented fines in the history of Romanian football for acts of indiscipline.
After Gigi Becali, very nervous after the match with Hermannstadt (3-3), said that Bîrligea will be fined 20,000 euros, Mihai Stoica also said that the sanctions that FCSB players will receive will be unprecedented. Mihai Stoica was very angry at the gesture committed by Bîrligea.
Mihai Stoica: “We will apply fines, I did not think that they have little respect for us”
“I spoke several times today with the boss. I don't think it will be necessary for him to hire someone because I decided to urgently convene the Board of Directors and let's take measures from now on. Apart from the fines that will be applied to Bîrligea, because Ngezana will receive much less in the next salary, there will be unique fines in Romanian football, the players will find out when they return from the national teams.
Gigi is right, there aren't that many players anywhere who protest the referee's decisions. I take it, it's my fault I never fined them. If I've been doing this job since 1992 and it worked, I thought there's no need. Generations change too I didn't think that there are footballers who don't have a bit of respect for us. It was the last straw.
So far I've been wrong, I've said that we overlook if it turns out well. I didn't talk to Bîrligea after the match and I did well. He could have been eliminated from the first when he simply imitated Radu Petrescu, as if he wanted to be eliminated. It seemed that only a terrible chance could keep us from winning that game.
It's not the first, but I firmly believe it's the last. He simply realized that he had made fun of the team. Bîrligea returned with Tănase and the driver, in Tănase's car. And with Radunovic, I don't know if Bîrligea was also in this group, but he caught him”, said Mihai Stoica, at Prima Sport.
Mihai Stoica: “Ngesana left the camp and came straight to breakfast”
Mihai Stoica narrated the incident that happened after the victory with U Cluj, score 2-0, when Ngezana left the training camp and returned in the morning.
“Ngesana didn't run away from the camp, after the match he left the hotel. I don't know who he saw. Gigi asked me who he might know in Cluj, I said probably only Djokovic, now I don't know if he saw him. He returned at one o'clock in the morning. The team was preparing for breakfast. Let me tell you something, there was no player who stopped doing something like that.

So unconscious to be, not even to come early, that no one would know you were gone. Of course he will pay the fine, but he is no longer the player of the first two seasons. I have had many cases of this in my life. I've had players come to Oțelul in a heightened state of merriment, and I pretended not to see them. What was I to do, throw them out? One more and calling for me.
One came to training, if I tell you who it is, you won't believe it. He could not stand. Pițurcă spoke with seconds and sent him to the pool. I am not sure if Ngezana does not have a twin brother. He's completely changed from the first two seasons, when he played almost flawlessly. The wife is coming, she probably won't have problems like this anymore”, said Mihai Stoica.
