In the 7th stage of the play-out, FCSB lost 0-1 away from home on Friday evening (Attila Csuros goal, in the 87th minute), with Csikszereda, and, with 36 points, remains in 7th position in the general ranking of the Superliga football. Instead, the band from Miercurea Ciuc has 30 points and less and less emotions about relegation.
While courting the Cypriot Elias Charalambous (45 years old), the champion has to deal with the “interim” Lucian Filip. Untimely departure from FCSB, coach Mirel Rădoi (45 years old) has problems in Turkey. After the stinging failure at the start, 0-3 against Eyupspor, Gaziantep, the formation he took over, suffered another defeat today, also without scoring, 0-2 against Beşiktaş, on home ground, in round number 32 of the Şuperlig.
Deian Sorescu and Alexandru Maxim started in Gaziantep, while Denis Drăguș was introduced on the field in the 66th minute, instead of Camara. Drăguș scored in the 88th minute, but his success was canceled after the intervention of the VAR system, for handball.
Despite these defeats, Gaziantep has no emotions at this end of the season. With 37 points, Rădoi’s team is in 10th place and is 9 lengths above the directly relegable places. Goztepe and Bașakşehir are Gaziantep’s last two opponents this season.
Before the confrontation with Beşiktaș, Mirel Rădoi had a surprise at one of the training sessions. Baskan Memik Yilmaz was present at the training session, to watch both the players and the Romanian technician. At the presentation, the boss warned that a streak of 4-5 games without a win attracts the replacement of the coach.
“All teams must have a plan B. In Turkish football, if things go badly for 4-5 stages, then the coach can be sacked. If you don’t sack him, the management and the president are criticized.
We want to break this vicious circle. I would also like to thank our coach for believing in us and accepting this task. We don’t have a weak batch. On the contrary, we have a team with high potential. We will work together to achieve good results in the coming period. Our expectations are very high and we hope not to disappoint”, says Memik Yilmaz.
