“Have you considered resigning?” » MM Stoica told the truth, after the FCSB disaster: “The main culprit”

Asked directly if he considered resigning, after Charalambous and Pintilii, coaches who have trained the team for the last three years, took this step, the red-blue official admitted that he did not even for a second consider such a move.

Then he tried to explain about the criticism received from the financier and how he managed the last two mercato windows: the one in the summer, where he reproaches himself for a lot, and the one in the winter, where he claims that he was not at fault.

Mihai Stoica, details from inside the FCSB: “I'm the main culprit from the summer, but I didn't think about resigning at all”

The AC chairman claimed that he considers himself the main culprit for what happened in the summer when he thought four transfers were enough. He regrets that he agreed to several players to extend, instead of bringing fresh breath to the team.

“I had absolutely no thought of leaving after their resignation. I am the main culprit, in the summer I should have been the first to realize that we needed to refresh the batch. 4 players came, I thought it was enough, it wasn't, unfortunately those who came didn't have input.

Graovac and Thiam helped us, clearly, indisputably they did their job, they were at the level of expectations. Politic and Alibec, no. Denis Alibec was injured and then it was difficult not having minutes, he is a player who has to play match by match.

He was not brought to play in place of Bîrligea, it was impossible to play both at the same time. The bad part is that they were both injured at the same time. Alibec was injured in the Supercup, in the 7th minute. Bîrligea had been injured before

I don't have the knowledge of physical training to be able to reproach Neubert for something, I don't know that, I have no way to know, why should I lie?! I avoided finding out too much, I don't need to know them all, let each one be master of his area.

In the summer I was happy when the players extended, I had to say stop then, not to be happy, let's look for new players, not to extend”, said Mihai Stoica, on the show “Footbal Show”, from Prima Sport.

“I have no fault in the winter. Gigi wanted a central midfielder, I was focused on Emerllahu and wasted a lot of time”

Next, MM Stoica explained how things went in the winter, when he hoped until the last moment that he could bring Lindon Emerllahuwho finally chose to go to Ukraine, and how he also missed out on the player he says remains the main target for the summer mercato, when he will be out of contract.

“I have no fault in the winter, it was a competition of unusual circumstances. Gigi wanted a central midfielder, we were focused on Emerllahu and at the last minute he went to Ukraine, although we had information that he did not want to go to Ukraine.

It's just that we lost time, a lot of time, then we went to another track, which we can access in the summer. Another very, very good midfielder, the team owner said he is not for sale, he is on loan to that team, I thought they would sell him…

Since the summer he remains free, he is a little more defensive than Emerllahu. I was late, it's true, but it's not my fault, I didn't want to come with a player just to take him like that,” said MM Stoica.

Ofri arrived a bit late to the team, on November 5 we knew he had a minor operation, but yes, surgery. He did all the possible tests, had a medical check-up which was very thorough and looked very good, but he had a lack of strength.

Not even Becali thought of removing MM Stoica from the team

I told MM that I would give two million and to bring a midfielder. What is his fault if the doctor told him that Ofri Arad is fit and he still isn't?

MM is my friend, my brother and he will stay with me till death. Don't speculate, that's why this particular thing.

The people I went to war with and sat in the cell and MM was fighting for me, I will never forget
