FCSB 2-3 » Târnovanu's gifts were not enough! The red-blues win a hilarious match at Ovidiu and spoil Stoican's debut!

Chronicle by Remus Dinu, after the Lighthouse – FCSB 2-3: Stoic is not Popeye the Sailor! Debut with the left in front of the champion, even after Târnovanu's blunders

With Farul scrambling for light instead of a “barrage”, the debut of Flavius ​​Stoican on the bench of the “sailors” coincided with the most complicated scenario of all: a confrontation with the most dangerous team of the play-out, recovering revs, compared to the public execution with Oțelul of the last round.

Demonstration of principles

FCSB roams unknown waters until now, a dishonorable adventure in the play-out, but starts favorite in Ovidiu, even with the “chicken” of intrigue triggered with the rumors regarding a possible early separation from Mirel Rădoi, lured (or not) by the piles of money in Turkey.

Whatever his future holds, Rădoi began his Ovid exam with a personality test. He once again bet on Vlad Chiricheș, the “veteran” who fell out of favor with the boss, calling on Ștefan Târnovanu on top of that. A sign that the technician does not intend to compromise his principles even for the tones of his difficult employer.

For Farul, officially entering the “Stoicanetti era”, there is no room for complacency. The threat of relegation is increasingly present among the people of Constanta, even in the year in which the spiritual father of the club took other more noble paths.

Once a title match, now just a “settlement” in the play-out, Farul – FCSB started with the obvious forcing of the champion, set to make the match easier from the start.

Olaru, in match #300 on the first stage, had a good chance since the 6th minute, but his execution did not catch the frame of the goal, after Stoian had placed the ball on the edge of the grass.

Three minutes later, David Miculescu also had the opportunity to change the scoreboard. He shot strongly from the corner, putting Rafael Munteanu in difficulty, who took the corner. For Miculescu, the game took an unimaginable turn.

In the 18th minute, an unfortunate slip signed the premature end of the match. Miculescu skated trying to take a careless pass from a teammate, the grimaces of pain brutally conveying: the attacker can no longer continue, Rădoi must change.

Play it, Groom!

Explainable or not, the offensive sound of the red-blues subsided with the exit of Miculescu. Farul started to neutralize the visitors' attempts, completely annihilating Miculescu's substitute, the unconvincing Tavi Popescu.

Beyond the weak shots of Olaru (34') and Cisotti (36'), the Bucharesters didn't really matter anymore, emphasizing the obvious irascibility captured by the cameras on Rădoi's face.

From irascibility to stupor was one more step.

Farul, downright non-existent offensively, speculated on Târnovanu's absurd moment of wandering, which gifted Farul the goal in the 43rd minute.

The goalkeeper restored to his rights by Rădoi hesitated unpermittedly on a cross that did not announce much, the ball hit Radaslavescu and entered the goal, stunning the gaffer who was lying on the grass with his face buried in his hands.

The pill of elegance comes from Joao Paulo

With no score changes at halftime, Rădoi's band left the booths energized. Olaru set the tone in the 49th minute – with a powerful shot over the goal – for the balance to be restored in the 56th minute.

Joao Paulo scored splendidly from distance, execution placed, as if on the console, and the match was restarted.

The “Mariners”, who had not killed themselves with football even in the first half, watched helplessly as FCSB controlled the game with increasing ease, while the vulnerabilities of Stoican's band become increasingly apparent.

The lighthouse has collapsed!

Restarted, FCSB took the lead in the 62nd minute. At the first action taken on his own account, Tavi Popescu had fun with Maftei and served Cisotti excellently, the Italian scoring as in training, without being marked, from inside the small box.

With Stoican watching in dismay on the sidelines, Farul conceded another goal, at a stage in which Farul's defenders were “hypnotized” by Tănase (64'). The “decarul” of the champion passed “floating” past the Faro defense and did not forgive Munteanu.

Despite Becali! “Commissar” Târnovanu, again in the role

A mere formality to the end? No, because Târnovanu thought of committing it once more!

With no markers, the goalkeeper accidentally came out in an attempt to block Alibec, who was sprinting. His bad luck was that the “septar” of the Doborgens arrived first, scoring simpu, with the side, past a slow Târnovanu, exposed in “no man's land”. (73').

2-3 on the table, is there still room for something else?

A strange match continued with two even more bizarre changes ordered by Rădoi. Beyond the replacement of Chiricheș, who fell into debt for the umpteenth time?, the “part-time” coach of the red-blues announced a hard-to-understand withdrawal, calling together Ngezana, Lixandru and Radunovic.

Except that Farul no longer had the energy – nor the inspiration – to beat Târnovanu one more time. The champion took all the points in Ovidiu, all eyes are now on Rădoi and Becali.
