FCSB moved past FC Botoșani with emotions, winning 2-1 at the National Arena. The team quickly opened the scoring through Mamadou Thiam, who continued to be dangerous but missed a few key opportunities, including a one-on-one in the second half.

The red-blues conceded a goal from a fixed phase and suffered at the end, but Dariu Olaru brought the team back to the advantage. With only five stages left in the regular season, FCSB retains a real chance to catch the play-offs.
Thiam, who came from U Cluj and was preferred by the coach instead of Daniel Bîrligea, achieved a solid evolution, winning the praises of Gigi Becali. Just a few days after he was criticized, the striker proved that he can be a reliable option, and the boss made it clear that he would use him more often in Bîrligea's position.
Thiam takes Bîrligea's place: “He didn't lose a ball!”
Daniel Bîrligea entered only at the end and did not have the opportunity to regain his starting place, while Thiam consolidated his position in the team with a highly rated match.
“(No. About Bîrligea) Are we burning with penalties at this time? Penalties when you are in front, there. It's a matter of value. Thiam is better than him. There is only one status in this team: everyone is a servant. From the masseur to the footballers. An employee is communism. He is a servant, he receives a salary. Do not accept it, it is against you. We did not set out to promote players, we set out to win the championship.
Thiam didn't lose a ball. Meme said to him before entering «You are strong, there is only one thing you have to do: don't lose the ball. If you lose it, you annoy the boss». He didn't lose it, he wasn't changed. Well, am I crazy? All changes made were forced. Bîrligea whips the central defenders. He ran!“said Gigi Becali, according to PrimaSport.
