How the play-off calculations look
In the final rounds, at least one of the following three scenarios must occur, if FCSB wins its last two matches.
-
FC Argeș to get a maximum of two points from the remaining matches, away with Dinamo, at home with Unirea Slobozia. With 3 points, they would reach 49, the maximum possible for FCSB, and in the event of a tie, the first tie-breaker criterion would come into play, the results from the direct games, where Pitesti have an advantage after 2-0 in the round and 1-0 in the return leg;
-
CFR Cluj to get a maximum of one point from the remaining games, with Farul away and Dinamo at home. With two points, the team from Gruia would also reach 49, a scenario in which they would overtake FCSB in the direct results (2-2 in the round, 4-1 in the return leg);
-
U Cluj, assuming that they would lose to FCSB in the last stage, to get a maximum of one point at home, with Oțelul.
Without at least one of these conditions being fulfilled, FCSB would not catch the play-off even if they won the two remaining matches.
I talked to some of the players. They realized that they were wrong, that they went in too relaxed and that they thought they were champions. That's what they said. They realized that it was their fault that they were here. They want in the play-offs, I want as much as possible. That is, let's enter the play-off from the 4th place. If you are FCSB and you want to be in the play-off, but you don't beat UTA, stay at home! If you play on the National Arena with U Cluj, with qualification on the table, and you don't score, what are you looking for? It is rare not to see the cream at such times. The more valuable team is seen. That's what we saw with the big teams.
