Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the FCSB Administrative Council, announced the new goal of the champion team.
FCSB has a nightmare start in the championship. It occupies a shameful 12th place, with 13 points obtained in the first 13 stages, almost a round of the championship. In this context, the team that fights for the title year after year has set as its goal to qualify for the European cups, even if this will happen from the play-out, following the tie.
Mihai Stoica, about the objective of FCSB: “To reach the European cups”
“For us, at this moment, the objective is to reach the European cups, that would be the first year since 2003 when we would not be in the European cups. It's certainly a record, outside of the big clubs that are permanently invited. We are the only team that plays in European cups year after year.
It is very possible, if you finish the play-out in first place, if you play the play-off, you have a better chance to play in the European cups… If you finish fifth or sixth, you are for nothing, but fourth place can also be for nothing.
Naturally we want to play in the play-offs, but when Metaloglobus, Pitesti, Slobozia, Farul beat you, when you don't win with Sibiu at home, when you don't win at Csikzereda, it means you have big problems”, said Mihai Stoica, according to orangesport.ro.

Since Gigi Becali took over the club in 2003, the people from Bucharest have been a constant presence in European cups.
On Thursday, October 23, FCSB will receive the visit of Bologna, in the third round of the single group in the Europa League.
