“He should talk more about his game!”

MM took his mind off qualification, despite the fact that FCSB still have theoretical chances. He believes that even if his team accumulates 9 points, it has no chance.

Even if FCSB will be eliminated, Mihai Stoica would like to see another team from Romania that can qualify two years in a row in the main group of the Europa League.

After Dinamo Zagreb – FCSB 4-1, Mihai Stoica admits: “Bîrligea should talk about his game, not that of the team”

When the reporter conveyed to Mihai Stoica the fact that Daniel Bîrligea took over the team's game, Mihai Stoica stated that the striker should focus more on his own performance.

“We weren't aggressive or what? We didn't play well. It wasn't a lack of aggressiveness. Bîrligea should talk more about his game, not the team's game.

The result is a bit harsh. It seemed that we would count only at 2-1, but without scoring opportunities. What can I say? The changes did not bring much. It's good to have some confirmation, unfortunately.

Not positive, but negative. Players who prove that they cannot help us in the second part of the season. I will not make nominations, but those who saw the match realize who and what I am talking about.

I am referring to those who did not rise to the level they should have. I entered the match after that. At 2-1 we should have applied more pressure, but unfortunately we were able to field the best team. There were important players who could not play. Some are not eligible, others, like Florin Tănase, with a minor injury.

I'm not talking about any individual player. I tell them privately if I have anything. The first goal is a very big mistake. In the second, the opponent put us in trouble. I was saying before the match that he is an opponent who can afford to buy a five million euro player who had scored a double with Fenerbahce.

It wasn't what it should have been. We didn't meet a team that gave us problems. We met better teams and played much better football than tonight”, said Mihai Stoica, at Prima Sport.

Mihai Stoica: “I say that with 9 points no one goes further”

The leader of the Romanian champion continued the analysis:

“We didn't start the second half of the match badly, but after Bîrligea was substituted we didn't have any strength. Even at 2-1, we didn't really seem like we could turn the result around, but, nevertheless, it seemed like we scored some goals quite easily and even 4-1. That didn't really seem to be coming either, but that's what we're leaving with in the end.

This is our last problem, that Bîrligea with Fenerbahce will be suspended. Serious? I say that no one goes with nine points. It is finished (no – qualification). I don't feel it, I know it is.

Maybe the expectations were a lot higher this year and we were far from what the fans hoped we would be. Last year, we probably did more than we thought we were capable of.

There is also the match with Fenerbahce. Anything can happen. The stake is there, anyway. It is a reason to come to the stadium to see Ederson, Asensio and all the members of the Istanbul team.

It is not a completely unsuccessful season, as it is the second consecutive qualification in this competition. I would also like to see a team from Romania, apart from us, that will manage to qualify for the Europa League two years in a row, at this stage.

I'm afraid it won't happen. We have succeeded two years in a row, even if we are only left with a maximum of nine points achieved in this phase”, said Mihai Stoica, on the show “Fotbal Show”, from Prima Sport.

It's a game we have to win. If not, then the play-off qualification is in great danger, the one with CFR.

But I think we can win this game and start this three-game home run in the Championship that we have to win. Otherwise it will be very complicated.
