Daniel Bîrligea (25 years old), the striker of the FCSBhad a nervous exit and was eliminated in the match with Hermannstadtscore 3-3, from Sunday evening, and now he is going to give explanations in front of the FRF, who saw his gestures and do not want things to stay like this. For the striker, there is a meeting with Mihai Stoichiță (71 years old), the technical director of the FRF.
CONTEXT:
-
Daniel Bîrligea was a nervous wreck at the match on Sunday evening and protested vehemently at the referee, picking up two yellow cards within minutes and being sent off as a result;
-
Immediately after the match, the boss Gigi Becali intervened on TV and dictated that Bîrligea should no longer go with the team to Bucharest, because he made fun of his colleagues, and that he should make the return journey alone, in a car, without entering the coach, with his teammates;
The images of the extremely nervous Bîrligea also reached the FRF bosses, who do not want to leave the situation like that, which is why they are waiting for the attacker, called up to the squad this time for the action in November, the last of the WC 2026 preliminaries, to give explanations.
Mihai Stoichiță announced that he wants to have a meeting with the player of the champion, not understanding his reactions lately.
Daniel Bîrligea is going to go face to face with Stoichiță
“Inexplicable what he did. I'm going to go to the training camp of the national team and I'm going to talk to him. I'm going to ask him: 'Guys, what was on your mind?'
I really like this boy. It is inexplicable to make these gestures. It wasn't an extraordinary moment of the game, if you are still down to 10 men”said Mihai Stoichiță, according to fanatik.ro.
I have Bîrligea, who is not 19 years old, he is 25, and whom I can take, in my opinion, for 10 million. I think I'll take 10, because I've done it now. The fine is given and the paper is written. Each player will take notice, with cameras, so as not to go to the commissions afterwards. Any yellow card that is taken because of the protests – a fine of 10,000 euros.
Bîrligea's fine has already been given! What he did is something that hasn't happened all over the world. Do you raise your hand to the referee, do you give him a card?! If we leave them like that, the players will fight with the referees on the field. You give the fine to Bîrligea so that he won't do it again.
