Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the FCSB Board of Directors, revealed how he would like to see the final ranking of the play-off, in the context in which his team did not get the top 6 and has no chance to defend the trophy won last year.
Given to choose who he would like to be champion this season, the red-blue official named U Cluj. The reason? The presence of Alex Chipciu in the Cluj team, former FCSB player. Bergodi's team started the play-off like a cannon, with two victories, and is tied with the leader Universitatea Craiova.
MM Stoica admitted that he would not mind CFR Cluj winning the championship either, considering the financial efforts of the boss.
Next, if U Cluj is his favorite for the title, MM Stoica's podium would be with FC Argeș and CFR Cluj. He wants the rivals from the capital, Rapid and Dinamo, the lowest, with no chance of winning the championship.
MM Stoica: “If someone puts a gun to my temple, I tell them to shoot”
“Without thinking too much, I would say, champion Cluj University, for Chipciu, but not only for him. Even if they are twinned with Dinamo and hate us, it doesn't matter. In 2nd place, FC Argeşit's Bogdan Andone, even if they took 6 points from us, but the people took them for real.
On 3, CFR, even if I had and still have a “beef” with Pancu, I have friends there, Bilaşco, Neluţu, whom I have known for 20 years. I wouldn't really mind if CFR won the championship, for Neluţu, for how much money he put in there.
On the 4th would be Craiovasaid a friend, who said: “Well, let Craiova win, because that's where the local joy is.” And, further, I would like my fellow citizens to have no chance at the title, I admit. If someone puts a gun to my temple and says: “You have to choose between Dinamo and Rapid”, I say “Shoot!””, said Mihai Stoica, quoted by fanatik.ro.
