After qualifying in the Europa League play-off following a double victory with Drita, general score 6-3, the next opponent of FCSB will be Aberdeen, a band from Scotland. Manșa-Tur will be played at home at the opponent of the Romanian champion, today, from 9.45 pm (the match can only be seen on the Voyo platform). The return will take place a week later, on the “National Arena”.

Desnis Political knows British football well from the Hearts period

The team prepared by Elias Charalambous is one step away from the qualification in the group stage, but the Romanians will not have an easy mission, given the compact style of the Scots.

An eventual failure sends FCSB to the group of league league. Today the first duel in history will be played between the two bands, and the foreign publications have analyzed the result options. The British from Sportskeda believe that the two bands will draw in the first duel in the “double”.

“Thursday's match will mark the first meeting in history between Aberdeen and FCSB. The only previous meeting of the hosts with a Romanian opponent in competitive action took place in the UEFA Cup from 1981-82, when Aberdeen played against the Argeș Pitești team, which they defeated with the general score of 5-2 after two foods! Even though Aberdeen has the advantage of the game at home, the red-blue has lost only one match of the four previously disputed. We continue to believe that gaps will be scored, so we set a draw. FCSB – Aberdeen, 2-2!“, the British wrote.

Who is Aberdeen FC

The Aberdeen FC club, which made History Sir Alex Ferguson, was born in 1903 on the Scottish realm, being one of the landmarks of the kingdom. The golden period of his group wrote in the 1980s, when Sir Alex Ferguson transformed the club into a hard to ignore force: three national titles, four Cups of Scotland and, above all, the European triumphs of 1983-the Cup and the Super Cup of Europe. Aberdeen returns to continental competitions thanks to the success in the Scotland Cup, the first internal trophy after more than 10 years. Since 2008, the Scots have only one group phase, the league league, in season 2023-2024. The start of the season in the internal champion was not a promising one for Aberdeen. The group checked two consecutive failures in the championship, 0-2 with Hearts and the same score in front of the Celtic champion.

Aliber stayed home

FCSB announces the return of three basic players in the “red-blue” group, just before the “double” with the Scots. Risto Radunovic and Adrian Şut have trained normally and are to be introduced in the field, at the match with Aberdeen. Although he has completely recovered, Denis Alibec will not travel to Scotland with the FCSB group. The problems come from elsewhere. Radunovic, Ngezana and Alhassan can miss Aberdeen – FCSB for an incredible reason. Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the official of FCSB, claims that they are in danger of missing the “tour” with Aberdeen, from the Europa League play-off, but not due to injuries. Risto Radunovic (33 years old), Siybonga Ngzana (28 years) and Baba Alhassan (25 years old) are extra -uncommon and risk not getting the visa for Scotland. However, officials remain confident that things will be resolved in a timely manner.

“There are 700 tickets for us. It's a very strange thing. Normally, a payment link is given. We have to sell only cash, come up with money from Romania and sell in pounds. It's something tilted. They gave us a ticket office at the stadium on the day of the match. Reservations will be made, people from London are probably coming. That's how it was at Glasgow, you can't get them out of their tabs. We don't even have a visa for the extra -communities now. I couldn't apply for the visa, I didn't know if I didn't play in Scotland. Ngezana, Radunovic and Baba Alhassan … but more day. I could not apply beforehand, there is no reason. There is no problem, we pay each visa, 16 pounds. It is very nice to go to Europe, but it costs the charter almost 200,000 euros! We leave with a luxury plane. We found people from the Romanian Embassy in London and the consulate at Edinburgh eager to help us. The problem is that it doesn't depend on them. We have nothing to do! We paid emergency fees, we did our job”, Mihai Stoica said on Tuesday night.
