Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the FCSB Administrative Council, is very dissatisfied with the attitude of certain footballers in the champion's team.
FCSB is going through a season far below expectations, and Mihai Stoica has identified one of the problems: the fact that certain important players have lost the modesty they had in the last season, when the Bucharesters took the title in stride and reached the Europa League round of 16.
Mihai Stoica, about the problems in the FCSB locker room: “Some have changed their behavior a bit”
“Some, and they kind of know who I am, I'm afraid to say exactly who, they kind of changed their behavior. Maybe because of the money, maybe because everyone is hunting you, autographs, and you end up thinking that you're different compared to last year.
A man of great value is one who does not change when his status changes in society, when he climbs the ranks. If you're someone else, who used to say “hello” at the door too, that's not okay”, said Mihai Stoica, at Prima Sport.
How Mihai Stoica commented on the nervous exit of Elias Charalambous
Elias Charalambous had a nervous reaction at the pre-match conference with Fenerbahce. “The only difference is that now we don't win and when you don't win, the parrots start jumping again,” were among the things the technician said.
Mihai Stoica commented on the episode as follows: “Elias was tested by the press, but now he is tested by the team. Everyone is nervous. Only I am not nervous. I have not faced situations like this, but I am functioning well. I have been through a lot in my life, not only in football.
It's logical, it's not done, it's normal. But even to criticize him for this, when I myself have been inelegant more times than I have been elegant … forgive me, but it was so. Now I'm older and I'm silver fox. We really didn't expect what happened with CFR, it was very affecting considering how the match went. It was hard to digest.”
Elias' work is not recognized because of the statements that Gigi makes. The same thing happened with Reghecampf, except that Gigi didn't go out then like he does now.
I'm not making comparisons between coaches, it's a different situation, but from the point of view of Gigi's involvement, it's identical to Gâlcă, and Reghe, and those who followed, including Elias and Pintilii.
