Mihai Stoica, the general manager of FCSB, prefaced the duel with Rapid, in the context of the problems that exist in Giulesti. And he said he was expecting a strong match.
- Quick – FCSB is played on Sunday, from 9:00 pm. The 6th Play-off game will be LiveText on GSP.ro and live on Primasport and Digisport
After ironizing Marius Șumudică, after he announced his resignation at the end of the defeat with Hermannstadt from the semifinals of the Romanian Cup, Mihai Stoica analyzed the situation from Rapid. And explained to what kind of match they expect.
Before Rapid – FCSB, Mihai Stoica is sure: “They will play strong!”
“I do not know if it benefits us or not. I think it will start in the way that started at that match, a sad memory for us, with that foul of Onea La Coman. (No. Rapid- FCSB 1-0, in April 2023)
I think they will play very loud! They will try to play very hard. If they will exceed a limit, and the referee will be at the level at which it has arbitrated two years ago, then we will have problems. If he will be an arbitrator who will not allow bakeries, then he will be completely and completely different.
Even if an equality result would compromise the chances in Europe, it would not be rejected, because they would confuse us. It is clear that you have a problem with us when you greet the players with a scandal against us. And it is logical. The year 2006 cannot be deleted in any form. The double of the quarters of the UEFA Cup stays there, ”Mihai Stoica told Primasport.
It was a moment's impulse in a discussion with a few supporters, that there were very few, and did not announce the leadership that he wanted to leave. And it didn't make sense, because quickly he can still play in European cups. It's not impossible! It's not!
There was nothing official. It was just a particular discussion. The world hastened when he said Rapid has no coach.
And the problem was that. I do not know if the supporters demanded the resignation of Șumudică. One said by Angelescu, one by Koljic. I saw hugs there. Șumudică said they were leaving, and the supporters reacted and said that “they will not do anything, that these are mercenaries!”. Not with Șumudică they had a job. The fans reproached the players. And, anyway, there were very few supporters. Has no relevance
