Mihai Stoica (61 years old), president of the Administrative Council from FCSBspoke about the first play-off match for the Conference League that the current champion will play.
FCSB is already qualified for the first play-off match and is almost certain to play the match at home. The champions would have preferred to play against those from Csikszereda, but the failure of the champions against UTA Arad, score 0-1, complicated things.
For FCSB to meet Csikszereda, it is necessary for Robert Ilyeș's team to finish over Botoșani. It's just that, the Moldovans have two points ahead, plus one more match to play against the Ciucani. In this context, the FCSB official is almost certain that the tie will be against those from Botoșani.
Mihai Stoica: “Probably FCSB will play in the play-off with FC Botoșani”
“If you can't beat Slobozia, are you still talking about first place? If we beat them, we're in first place, regardless of other results. We're tied on points with every other team.
We have no rounding, we also had the most points. Finally, what can I say?
Of course, we would have preferred to play at home, in Ghencea, with Csikszereda, but I can't believe that Petrolul can win in Botoșani. We will probably play with Botoșani“, said Mihai Stoica, on the show “Footbal Show”, from Prima Sport.
The team that will win the first bracket will play the final against the team that will rank 4th at the end of the play-off. At this moment, Dinamo has the best chances. The “Dogs” have a two-point lead over Rapid with 3 legs left to play.
