Adrian Porumboiu criticized the defense of FCSB. Provoked by Ovidiu Ianu, Mihai Mironică's guest at GSP Live Special, he also commented on the phase that was suspicious of a penalty, in the first minutes of the game, when Juri Cisotti was tackled in the box, but also the phase in which Enriko Papa could receive the second yellow card for an entry in Tănase.
Adrian Porumboiu reacted after FC Botoșani – FCSB 3-2: “I have never seen anything like this before”
Adrian Porumboiu began his speech by criticizing the defense of FCSB: “I have not met a match at this level where you see three counterattacks in which there were three players from Botoșani and only one defender. Even if there was a table, they didn't defend themselves like that! I have never seen anything like this before. It was 2-1 for FCSB. I've never seen a single defender stay on the line before. The others don't know where they were. It's terrifying to see.”
About arbitration, Adrian Porumboiu initially said: “Come on, I'll say good night!”.
After a few moments, also provoked by Ovidiu Ianu, Adrian Porumboiu continued and analyzed the suspicious penalty phase from the first minutes of the game: “There are penalty circumstances, but I didn't analyze the phase. I'm trying to remember it. It's a phase that we can analyze. I also had a slight impression of a penalty, it catches his leg, it's a contact.

There were phases that could have had a different judgment. If we go to arbitration for a match that was under any criticism for FCSB… They could have been, but the opponents still scored two or three goals. I've never seen such a defense before.”
The game was dominated by the home team. No one can say that the match was lost because of the referee.

I have nothing to say about Mirel Rădoi. There is only one positive reverberation among those from Craiova: we escaped, FCSB did not. He's guilty too, he's a coach. He did not take measures, he let them go free. I didn't see at 2-1 that there was a single defender in the line. I haven't seen it before. I don't stay to analyze, I say what I see.
