“It was a time when they needed him”

Gigi Becali collected 1.5 million euros in exchange for the central midfielder, who was one of the main pillars in the previous seasons. Bourceanu believes that Șut needed a change and that the decision to go to the United Arab Emirates was a very good one from a financial point of view.

However, the former Romanian international believes that FCSB still needed Șut, considering the fact that the holder of the last two titles in the Superliga is seriously trembling for access to the play-offs this season.

Alexandru Bourceanu, about Șut's departure from FCSB: “It was a moment when they needed him”

“At one point, I said something, about a match in which Chiricheș was absent, while I was also playing. And that bothered other colleagues. Rightfully so! Then I didn't understand why, now I can say that a team is more important than a player. And if a player is missing, there are other substitutes.

Let it not be understood that Șut is not a valuable player! Instead, for him, at least financially, maybe for the club, I don't know, but mostly for him, it was a good move.

I don't know what his salary is, but I think for him, financially, it was a good thing. Moreover, he was coming after several good seasons, but also after some injuries. He needed a change, especially since the team won two titles in a row.

And a team needs to make changes. It's not that the players aren't good anymore, it's just that new challenges are needed. Both for the players in the team and for the players who leave the team, but also for those who stay. New players coming into the locker room creates a positive emulation for the players who stay. Both camps had something to gain.

Clearly, Shut was a very good player. It was a time when they needed him. Because he was one of the most important players in the most important moments of the last five years“, said Alexandru Bourceanu, according to sport.ro.
