Former Romanian international Marius Niculae (44 years old) is of the opinion that Denis Alibec (34 years old) made a mistake when he decided to return to FCSB at the beginning of this season. After only one successful goal on his return to the titular champion, the striker is given as gone from the team this winter.

Grinded by injuries since the beginning of the season, Denis Alibec has not made any appearances in the last two months and is already looking for a team to sign with in the winter.

Marius Niculae believes that Denis Alibec was wrong when he decided to return to FCSB: “He rushed”

Alibec is my style, lefty, massive, executioner, that was my favorite. Unfortunately he rushed when he chose FCSB because he was there once before and it didn't go well for him.

Unfortunately for him, that happened again this season. He should change a little, like that.. because he's a soulful guy, even if he doesn't seem like it, I know him very well.

He is a soulful guy, he puts a lot on his soul, he should detach himself a little from these things”, said Marius Niculae, according to as.ro.

  • Denis Alibec has played 13 games this season for FCSB, scoring one goal and providing two assists.

  • It is quoted by the specialized website Transfermarkt at 500,000 euros.

  • Denis Alibec has 3 Romanian championship titles in his record, obtained with 3 different clubs: Astra (2016), CFR Cluj (2022), Farul (2023). If he wins the title with FCSB this season, he will become the first footballer in history to win 4 championships with 4 different teams.

  • He has 45 matches and 6 goals in the shirt of the Romanian national team, for which he debuted in October 2015.

We had a talk, we'll probably break up in the winter. I don't know what he wants, we know what we want. I told him what we thought, he didn't raise any problem, he was super professional, even if he really had a period with many injuries. It's neither his fault nor ours, it was meant to be.
