Former international Ilie Dumitrescu (56 years old) believes that FCSB's game is more balanced when they play with two defenders, as was the case in the away victory against U Clujscore 2-0, where Adrian Șut and Mihai Lixandru made up the middle line.
Also, Ilie Dumitrescu believes that Jiro Cisotti's performance in this match was below expectations, and the former international noted the contribution brought by the Italian when he picks up his pace of play.
Ilie Dumitrescu, disappointed by the performance of Juri Cisotti from U Cluj – FCSB 0-2: “He must raise his level”
“FCSB was superior, even if, at the beginning of the game, there was a phase in which Bic could score, it was also Lukic's phase. As a game, the idea of playing with Olaru, Șut, and Lixandru…
The team had better balance with two closers. Cisotti was not… He had two situations with the head, when he attacked well, but he should raise his level, because he helps the team enormously when he is at a good level“, declared Ilie Dumitrescu, according to digisport.ro.
Juri Cisotti started the match on the right flank of the attack, but he went down to the midfield with the entry of David Miculescu at halftime, who replaced Mihai Lixandru.
The Italian has played in several positions this season, but his developments this season have left much to be desired. Cisotti managed just one goal in 14 league games, in contrast to the previous season when he scored 4 times and provided 4 assists in 16 Superliga games.
In 10 preliminary matches in European competitions, Cisotti managed to score two goals and provide 3 decisive assists in this debut season.
