MM Stoica (60 years old), the official from FCSBnamed two players who are the revelations of this Superliga season. It is about Adel Bettaieb (29 years old), his peak FC Argesand Jovo Lukic (27 years old), the striker of U Cluj.
The Tunisian played last season for the “students” and did not score at all, and this year he was “reborn” in Trivale. He scored 9 times and provided 5 assists in 35 games.
On the other hand, Lukic he is the top scorer of the Superliga. The Bosnian did not convince in Craiova, he was accepted by U Cluj and a real “explosion” of goals followed. Scored 18 times and provided 3 assists in 32 games (all competitions).
MM Stoica, about Lukic: “It would have been good if he had Romanian citizenship”
More jokingly, more seriously, the red-blues official explained that Lukic would have fit perfectly in the game of the Romanian national team, taking into account the evolution of this season.
The “Tricolori” have huge problems in attack before the tie with Turkey, Denis Drăguș is suspended, and Louis Munteanu and Denis Alibec are injured. In this sense, the selector Mircea Lucescu summoned three footballers from the play-out: Daniel Bîrligea, David Miculescu and Marius Coman.
“So there are two players who, in my opinion, are the revelations of this championship, one who was at U Cluj and who made appearances and who is now among the protagonists of the championship, Bettaieb: he has 15 matches at U Cluj, 0 goals and 0 assists.
And beyond that, Lukic, who was in Craiova and is now at U Cluj and it's something… it's far away… it would have been good if he had Romanian citizenship. I know that he is called up to the national team of Bosnia. He had a lot of chances in Craiova and he didn't play”, said MM Stoica, on the show “Fotbal Show”, from Prima Sport.
Adel Bettaieb has played for teams such as La Louviere, Angers, Dudelange, Umraniyespor, Boluspor, Poli Iasi and U Cluj throughout his career. It is valued at 500,000 euros, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt.
