Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the FCSB Board of Directors, noted a player from the champion's camp after the match won against FC Botoșaniscore 2-1, from the 25th round of the Super League.
This is Mamadou Thiam, the scorer of the first goal of the match at the National Arena. The striker opened the scoring in the 42nd minute, after Anestis rejected a header sent by him. Mihai Stoica declared himself impressed by Thiam's reaction to that phase.
Mihai Stoica, after FCSB – FC Botoșani: “Thiam played an excellent game”
“Thiam played an excellent game. I don't make rankings now after a game or two.
What I liked enormously was the fact that he was focused and reacted like a thoroughbred striker in the goal phase, he could put his hands to his head: «And this one got it!», but he attacked excellently and sent the ball into the goal. He played very well”, said Mihai Stoica, at Prima Sport.
Mihai Stoica announces: “Graovac and Cisotti go to Marijana”
Cisotti and Graovac were injured in the match at the National Arena, and the official of the champion announced that they will not be able to play on Sunday with Oțelul.
They will travel to Belgrade, where the “healer” Marijana will try to get them back on their feet for the Romanian Cup match with Craiova (February 12).
“Cisotti and Graovac are injured, they won't travel to Galați. Maybe Marijana will intervene in both of them. I think they will be in Craiova. The distance from Belgrade to Craiova is not very long, I think they will come directly to Craiova. For the Cup match, yes”, said Mihai Stoica.
