FCSB was kept in check by Petrolul on Saturday evening, at the National Arena. The two teams finished tied, score 1-1. Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the red-blue official, analyzed the game and identified the culprit.
This is the goalkeeper Ștefan Târnovanu (25 years old), who scored an incredible goal, from 30 meters. In the 47th minute, Robert Salceanu (21 years old) sent a strong shot from 30 meters.
The shot was deflected by Ngezana and fooled the goalkeeper of the champions, a formation that is not found this season.
Târnovanu, guilty in MM's view, after FCSB – Petrolul 1-1: “He was wrong, why not call things by their name?”
Mihai Stoica he referred to Ștefan Târnovanu's positioning mistake after Sălceanu's success.
The champion's official claims it would be a “worldwide shame” for FCSB to miss out on the Super League play-offs. It would happen for the first time in history.
“To score a goal like that… because Petrolul had an opportunity in the first, when Târnovanu defended one on one, that's all. But we had many opportunities. I don't even know when I've scored such a strange and annoying goal!
Târnovanu was wrong. Because the deviation is there, but he has not sensed the effect. Ok, I think he would have had time to position himself, intervene with both hands. Ok, Stoian was wrong. It was also a stroke of luck (no – ironic) that the ball hit Ngezana, but he had to get it out. It's a mistake. Why not call a spade a spade?
I pass the stages. We, instead of getting closer, are standing still or even moving away from the play-offs and it's starting to become a question mark, it's getting bigger, do we or don't we get to the play-offs. Ok, there is a safety net.
The safety net may be the Romanian Cup, but the safety net has large meshes, because you can fall through those meshes. Not to enter the play-off would be a worldwide shame”, said MM, for fanatik.ro.
I expected us to lose with what's been going on lately.
To have so many opportunities, even in the conditions where a lot of players' positions changed during the match and at one point I think chaos had set in, but we still had opportunities, we didn't stop having them.
