FCSB – Feyenoord, in the single group of the Europa League, is played on Thursday, December 11, from 22:00, at the National Arena. The match will be liveTEXT on GSP.ro and on TV on Prima Sport 1 and Digi Sport 1
Speaking about the problems in the lot, MM Stoica detailed the situation of the players who encountered difficulties in the derby with Dinamo, the one he said had the biggest problems being Florin Tănase.
Mihai Stoica, impossible wish before the match with Feyenoord
“After the match with Feyenoord, Baba Alhassan is going to leave, we have 3 players leaving for this competition, please… we also got in line with the good world, 3 players in the African Cup, you realize… Not that there was really any solution, but Ngezana and Baba matter.
If everyone was talking about postponing matches, I would suggest postponing the match with Feyenoord now, but it's not possible, that's what bothers us the most at the moment. After this match on Thursday, we still have Slobozia in Clinceni, where we don't feel well at all, and the big game with Rapid, we still have it, it's still going on. The infirmary is full, I wanted to go get a bandage and there was no room to pass…”, said Mihai Stoica, quoted by fanatik.ro.
FCSB's problems in the match with Dinamo
“Only 0-0 for Dinamo, they had an opportunity in the match, but I don't agree with those who say that they deserved to win, it was an opportunity in a match. In the conditions of excellent refereeing in my opinion, it was played very hard, a very difficult match to referee, it was played very very hard and on both sides, it took the match to the end without eliminations, I liked it.
Even if there were no chances, I thought it was a very good pace. If you think about the problems we had, I can tell you now, we played with half the players 100%. Not to mention the fact that compared to Dinamo, from July onwards we have 14 more matches, and what matches, with an extraordinary load in the preliminaries, very valuable opponents in the main face + the Romanian Supercup, with the trophy on the table.
You have almost twice as many matches as the opponent, the values are equal, that's why Dinamo was superior to us in certain parts of the match, the first 15 minutes, when we didn't know where we were anymore, and the last half of the second half.
It happened like this last night: Târnovanu was hit, he dived, Caragea hit him in the head, he didn't feel well during the match. Crețu returned after a long period of absence, at 36 years old, he turns 37 next month, after an absence you are not used to injuries, you can no longer get into the rhythm so quickly, the last 15 minutes he was clearly suffering, and we had no change.
At halftime Ngezana complained of pain in his knee, he could not continue, we made the first forced change, with an improvisation, with Lixandru central defender. Risto started the match, received a yellow card in the first minutes, then had to be replaced. Şut accused problems on the day of the match, he didn't feel well at all, Lixandru also had a problem with the abductors.
Tănase played the whole game and we have to take our hats off to him, he has very big problems, he played with pain in the last games and now he struggled to play in a position that is not his. Otherwise the others were ok. Olaru was everywhere, they fouled him, he also had our chance“, said Mihai Stoica.
We know what we have to do, winter is coming, I am convinced that in 2026 we will be very good, we have already started to move. If we think about the play-offs, we implicitly think about the title.
At this moment, our chances of reaching the play-offs do not look very good, but in the situation where we qualify for the play-offs, the bookies will change the odds, we know how to play the play-offs, we have played before. That's all I want, let's get to the play-offs.
