Dorinel Munteanu declared that Ciubotaru will no longer be a starter after serving his suspension.

Dorinel Munteanu: “Our goal was a point. In the first half we didn't exist”
Dorinel Munteanu was disturbed by the performance of his team in the first half in Ploiesti and said that they must do more for the direct save.
“Sure, a point is a point, that was our goal. I expected a better game, in the first half we didn't exist on the field. The goal came from a lack of responsibility, but it's important that this point is valuable, we got past Slobozia on goal difference. We have to grow in the game, that's why I can't be satisfied at all.
I hope that our players understand that, to save ourselves directly, we have to do more. He who is satisfied with little gathers little. Today, at least in the first half, I didn't exist on the field. On the road, this is not the first time this has happened.
We have matches in Slobozia and with Metaloglobus away, so… It was an open game, but honestly I don't even know if I should be satisfied with a point, but I congratulate them for their effort”, Munteanu also declared.
