Rusescu gives a small plus to the Romanians, the day before the match.
“In principle, if we talk about the Europa League, the National Arena, the supporters, the FCSB in Europe, all that means an evening in Europe of the FCSB, we can say that FCSB is favorite, not much, but 55% I think is a favorite.”said Rusescu, present in the GSP Live studio.
“For the first time this season, FCSB does not receive two games in a row. An important aspect. The second half with the steel was very good, not good, the inspired changes, those who entered the bench brought an obvious plus,” Rusescu added.
“The goal scored with the steel, the penalty phase-I don't remember this championship a more beautiful collective,” added the former goalscorer of the red-blue.
At this time, Stoian seems to have a more than Toma, regarding the U21 rule. He should have passed with the steel, at the situations he had, but he is a child, I find an excuse, the striker in me even smiled when I saw how he dribbled on the goalkeeper.
