Ilie Dumitrescu pronounced the names of Octavian Popescu and Mamadou Thiam, who entered FCSB after the break, saying that they failed to bring an addition to the champion's team.
Instead, he praised the team led by Bogdan Andone for the victory.
Ilie Dumitrescu, after FC Argeș – FCSB: “Tavi Popescu very little, Thiam the same”
“A solid game by the team led by Bogdan Andone. It deliberately ceded the field, covered the spaces very well, won duels, in no area did FCSB manage to create an imbalance, even if it has players with superior technique, Olaru, Miculescu, Stoian.
I was also watching Tavi Popescu, very little, he didn't have many minutes at his disposal. Thiam, the same. The moment you don't win duels, you don't play between the lines… It was a game of attrition.
FCSB only had a good presence in the opponent's field, without important goal situations, with a rather discreet game. He had no chance to win tonight”, said Ilie Dumitrescu, according to digisport.ro.
What came from the bench, Thiam, Miculescu, nothing. Maybe I regret that Chiricheș had to be changed, although he didn't play badly, but he doesn't anymore, especially on such a field. I don't have to talk now, until I get to the play-offs. If we don't get into the play-offs I promise you I won't talk anymore, the world gets away from me.
