Mirel Rădoi (45 years old), the technician from FCSB, announced what changes are to appear in the team he leads.
Mirel Rădoi gave good news to the footballers who have performed less recently. He announced that they will also get chances during the play-out. He referred in particular to Daniel Graovac, Siyabonga Ngezana, Mamadou Thiam and Octavian Popescu.
Mirel Rădoi, after FCSB – Oțelul: “There are many players who came after injuries and need minutes”
“There are a lot of players who have come in after injuries and need minutes. We are trying to do that but also be able to get results.
There will be matches in which the others will be integrated – Siya (Siyabonga Ngezana), to be summoned to the national team. So are other players.
Tavi Popescu will also follow, Thiam will enter at some point as well, Graovac will be present again. We will try to change the dynamics of the team so that everyone has a number of minutes because we don't know what will happen at the barrier”, said Mirel Rădoi, at the press conference.
After the first 4 matches, FCSB is in second place in the play-out, with 30 points, one behind the leader UTA Arad.
We try to keep the team as high as possible, even if they can't. At least get used to walking the game every time, because in many moments the opponent is just as tired. But it was clear that the Steel would also come upon us, because they had nothing left to lose.
We discussed these things at half-time and I think we need to work on this: even if we are very tired, to somehow be able to move possession into free areas, to keep the ball as much as possible.
