Sorin Cârțu (70 years old), the honorary president of the University of Craiova, spoke about the scenography of FCSB, not a year after its completion, when the “red-blues” celebrated the title of champion of Romania in a direct match with Olten, won by FCSB with 1-0.
Sorin Cârțu commented ironically on FCSB, saying that last year all the teams were “on their knees” before the red-blues. He says the wheel has turned.
Sorin Cârțu, irony at the FCSB: “Now they are on their knees”
The former striker and current official of the University of Craiova remembered the moment when Peluza Nord illustrated a player from FCSB with the emblem of the gallery on his chest and a king's crown on his head. In front of him, kneeling, were four men dressed in the shirts of the great play-off rivals: Dinamo, Rapid, Craiova and CFR Cluj.

“You know how it was with FCSB who celebrated last year… All the teams were at the level of the shorts. And look now. Everyone on their knees, someone on top. It was a banner.
All the teams were on their knees, they were up. Look, now they're on their knees, they might not even make the playoffs. Maybe you should find a way to enjoy yourself without offending or making fun of your opponents, because look what can happen?”, Cârțu told fanatik.ro.

FCSB, closer to the play-out than the play-off
FCSB could perform for the first time in history in the Superliga play-out. The Romanian champion needs six points in the last two matches of the regular season, with UTA Arad (away) and Cluj University (home), but even then she is not sure of the place in the Top 6, not being in her hands.
The first step takes place on Sunday, March 1, on the field of UTA. If FCSB does not win in Arad, it could evolve in the play-out and depending on the results of the opponents for the first time in history.
