Victor Pițurcă “committed it” live on TV » What happened next

Two days before the dam with Turkey, from Istanbul, Victor Pițurcă analyzed the chances of the “tricolors” to advance after Thursday night's game, and at the end of the intervention he was asked about FCSB and the arrival of Mirel Rădoi to the team.

Asked to say if he considers a change for the better with the former coach taking over the team, he recalled Rădoi's disastrous debut, a 0-0 draw with Metaloglobus, the leader of the Superliga. What's more, he even described it as a team “as if relegated”, all in the context in which the one who came to the Pantelimon team to save it now, at the end of the season, Florin Bratu, was invited to the set.

The dialogue between Victor Pițurcă and Florin Bratu, about the situation at Metaloglobus

• Victor Pițurca: “Well, nothing has changed, on the contrary! How can it change when you draw with a relegated team? Of course not”

• Florin Bratu: “Who are you drinking with?”

• Victor Pițurca: “Well, what? That's it! Florin has changed a lot there since he came, a lot, but still…”

• Florin Bratu: “Give me some courage, nea' Piti!”

• Victor Pițurca: “Well, I give you courage”, was the dialogue between Pițurcă and Bratu, on the show “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.

In the first two stages since the start of the play-out, Metaloglobus did not lose. A “white draw” with FCSB and a victory with Petrolul, score 1-0, are the two results recorded by the Bucharesters. They have 10 points, 6 less than Petrolul, the first team from the pool.

Since taking over Metaloglobus, Bratu has not suffered a defeat, with two draws and one win and an average of 1.67 points/game.
