FCSB and Metaloglobus face each other today, from 20:30, in a duel from the first round of the play-out. Despite the fact that the team is going through a very poor period, missing out on the presence in the play-offs for the first time, the supporters of the champion will come to the stadium in greater numbers, compared to the last matches played at home.
A few hours before the start of the game at the National Arena, FCSB would have sold a number of 6,000 ticketsand the organizers expect them to be in the stands 10,000 supporters to assist Mirel Rădoi's debut, according to fanatik.ro.
10,000 supporters are expected at FCSB – Metaloglobus
The Romanian champion is going through the weakest period in recent years, and in the last matches played at home in the championship, the supporters seemed to have abandoned the team. This was seen by the low assists that were registered at the games at the beginning of the year.
It seems that the beautiful weather in Bucharest and the return of Mirel Rădoi to the team's bench generated an interest in the game against the “red lantern”. Thus, tonight's match is expected to have the highest number of spectators that FCSB has had in the stands at the beginning of the year, at the National Arena.
At the pre-match press conference, Mirel Rădoi encouraged the fans to come to the stadium and support the team, and this seems to have motivated them to buy tickets for the match. With a few hours until Viorel Flueran's starting whistle, 6,000 supporters bought their tickets, 10,000 being the final number expected by the championship officials, as Mirel Rădoi also wanted.
But I believe that, today and tomorrow, they will be with the team and I am betting on at least 10,000 supporters with Metaloglobus. They were, regardless of the result, with the players. We are waiting for them. I can only promise them commitment and determination.
