Andrei Nicolescu, the president from Dinamosaid what he spoke with coach Zeljko Kopic (48 years old), after the match with FC Botoșani (1-1), and gave news about Daniel Armstrong (28 years old, right wing).
Exasperated by the misses in the match with Botoșani, Andrei Nicolescu and Zeljko Kopic talked about the points lost at the limit this season right at 2:30 in the morning, when the technician sent a message to the president.
Also, Dinamo's president announced that Daniel Armstrong will miss only two weeks, after the injury suffered in Moldova. Initially, it was announced that the footballer will not play again in 2025. The Scot is optimistic that he can play in the derby with FCSB (December 6), but Nicolescu has a different opinion. In the round, Armstrong scored 3 times, and Dinamo beat 4-3.
Andrei Nicolescu: “Kopic gave me a message at 2:30 at night, that I lost many points this year”
“I calculated about 6-7 points lost this year because of huge misses. Kopic texted me at 2:30 in the morning that I lost a lot of points this year and I said yes, about 6.
Now after the MRI it looks like Armstrong is two weeks away, looks like it's not as clear as we thought. He is optimistic to play with FCSB, but I don't think so. It's not grade 2, it's between 1 and 2. I have to wait 4-6 weeks, unfortunately”, said Andrei Nicolescu, at Prima Sport

If Armstrong will be able to play only after the derby with FCSB, the Scot could catch two more games, with Metaloglobus and UTA Arad.
After the first 17 stages, Zeljko Kopic's team is in 4th place in the Superliga, with 31 points. The next match of the “dogs” is against those from Oțelul Galați and will be played on Saturday, November 29, from 20:45.
