The tension built up in Zenica, where Romania lost 3-1 to Bosnia, quickly spread to domestic football as well. Although Daniel Bîrligea scored the only goal of the national team, his joy generated a new round of reproaches from Mihai Stoica.

The striker’s success, which came after a very good combination with Valentin Mihăilă, was overshadowed by the moment when the two simulated the awarding of yellow cards, an allusion to the elimination of Bîrligea from the FCSB – Hermannstadt match. For the management of the red-blues, the gesture was considered completely inappropriate and not at all funny.
“I think that Bîrligea has not understood anything yet. Probably, so that he understands, we will have some heated discussions this time. The gesture he made at goal is not normal!”warned the president of the board of FCSB, Mihai Stoica, at Fanatik.
“They think they’re going there to screw everybody over!”
Mihai Stoica emphasized that such gestures are unacceptable, recalling that the elimination from Sibiu had serious consequences on the evolution of the team.
“They think they are going there to make fun of everyone, including us, because this gesture preceded his justified removal from Sibiu… Because of him, the gestures he made, we ended up in this situation.
This gesture does not affect the exceptional action… Bîrligea is a footballer with a big F, but he has to understand that it doesn’t work like that anymore, he has to be very serious!“the red-blue official also said.
The moment with Bîrligea and Mihăilă quickly went viral on social networks. The sequence with the two tricolors was also published, for entertainment purposes, on the official TikTok account of the Romanian Football Federation. It was later deleted following online backlash.
“I would impute this to the FRF, they thought it was normal to publicize this gesture. That’s a joke between the footballers… The federation published it on social networks, later they removed the clip, but it doesn’t matter anymore, it’s not normal to post it!
Bîrligea did not understand that Mihăilă was making fun of him with that gesture. It was a locker room joke. He’s going to have a very hard life. If he resorts to such a gesture again, he will probably sit in the stands until his roots grow!“the president of the Board of Directors of FCSB sent.
