Mihai Stoica (61 years old), the president of the Administrative Council from FCSB, believes that striker Marius Coman (29 years old), from UTA Arad, cannot represent a variant for the national team.
Louis Munteanu was the only professional striker of the national team in the friendly with Georgia, score 1-1. He entered at half-time and scored. Gică Hagi decided to bet on Florinel Coman (left wing) in the top position.
Even in this context, with Bîrligea and Pușcaș injured, and with Denis Drăguș barely back from injury, the FCSB official does not believe that Marius Coman can represent a solution for the national team. The striker from UTA had been summoned by Mircea Lucescu for the last action, 0-1 with Turkey and 0-2 with Slovakia, but he did not get a single minute.
Mihai Stoica, harsh with Marius Coman: “Let's be serious, he has no perspective”
“What other striker option did you have instead of Florinel Coman? You can't give more than 45 minutes to Louis Munteanu, who came from the States. We don't have another number nine, apart from Bîrligea and Pușcaș. What number nine do we have? These are them, goodbye.
Let's be serious with Marius Coman. It has no perspective. He is a 30-year-old player who has played his whole life in league 2. Coman from UTA will never amount to anything, forgive me, there is no way. When you've spent your entire career in League 2, you can't at 30…

Florinel Coman is not physically well now. He called him because he had no one to bring in his place. Not Marius Coman, from UTA.
You have Florinel Coman, Dear, you have people with whom you can attack a goal in September, next year, but not Coman from UTA or another player with whom you can never attack anything because he does not reach the level at which they were and maybe they will be. Maybe they will be at an even better level”, said Mihai Stoica, on the show “Fotbal Show”, from Prima Sport.
Marius Coman played 29 league games for UTA in the recently concluded season. He scored 8 goals and provided two assists.
