Two former champions of Romania, Cătălin Munteanu (47 years old) and Raul Rusescu (37), have the same opinion about the heated phase of Craiova University – FCSB 2-2match from the 3rd round of the Romanian Cup groups.

  • FCSB accused that Craiova's 2-1 goal should have been disallowed for foul, reasoning that Luca Băsceanu would have taken it with his hand before the pass to the scorer Florin Ștefan.

  • Horațiu Feșnic did not dictate a penalty, and from the VAR room, Cătălin Popa did not consider it necessary to call the “central” to review the phase on the edge.

  • After the tie in Craiova, FCSB left the Romanian Cup. Craiova moves on and will face CFR Cluj in the quarter-finals.

With the IFAB's recommendations about the handball in front, Munteanu and Rusescu validated the decision of the arbitration team.

“I say it's not a hent. I understand that under the latest regulations, you can play the ball with your arm up to the shirt sleeve. Well, it also depends on how long the sleeve is (no – laughs). Yes, I tend to say that it's not hent”said Cătălin Munteanu, at GSP Live.

“You realize what these people have done, that we no longer know when it's a handball?! We're looking at a picture like fools, the whole country. Apart from Mr. Porumboiu, I haven't heard anyone say exactly. I'm not convinced of anything. We don't know when it's a handball anymore. Probably 8 years ago, a handball was given. I remember phases in which a handball was given when the ball bounced to me like that.

Regarding Băsceanu's position, it is the correct position when jumping. What I see is that the ball bounces off him harder, like it's going off his shoulder. That's why I tend to say it's not a joke. I think that even the referees in the VAR room put their hands over their eyes and decide at random in phases like this,” added Rusescu.

Agreement in the studio, about the heated phase at the University of Craiova - FCSB:

Adrian Porumboiu's verdict: “Not a word of hent!”

At GSP Live Special, the former grand referee Adrian Porumboiu also proved Horațiu Feșnic right:

“The text of the regulation states very clearly, in such situations, when the ball is hit from the shoulder, in continuation of the shoulder, towards the elbow, but not into the elbow. There are clearly specified things, and through the decisions communicated by FIFA and UEFA, the correct decision is the one that the referee took: the game continues, no question of hent. Point“.

FCSB screams: “Hant as the Andalusian sun!”

At Digi Sport Special, Gigi Becali vehemently contested the decision to validate the goal.

“Look, boys! If this isn't a hench either… Here he raises his hand, it didn't come to his arm. God may punish their families for what they do! These people work, run on the field and you mock them? He stopped the ball with his hand and three people said nothing!“, raged the FCSB boss.

Mihai Stoica has the same opinion. “Now we have a phase again in which you either have nothing to do with the phenomenon, or you have a problem with Gigi, or you have a problem with Stella's successor, to say that that one is not hent. It's as hot as the Andalusian sun!”, said the president of the FCSB Board of Directors to Fanatik.
