Mihai Stoica, the president of the Board of Directors of FCSB, had a sharp answer for Marius Șumudică (54 years old), after he questioned the form of the players of the champion in this season debut.
Free of contract, Şumudică commented on FCSB’s performances in the last few days, emphasizing that the team looks far below the level of the previous championships. Although the “red-blues” won the title in the last two seasons, the current season started modestly, and Charalambous’ formation is only in 10th place, with 25 points.
Mihai Stoica: “They were forced to play too much”
Disturbed by the statements of the former Rapid technician, Mihai Stoica reacted immediately and sent a firm message, in his characteristic style, correcting Șumudica’s comments.
“(No. Şumudică said he doesn’t understand why FCSB is no longer running like last year) I now answer Şumudică boldly, that he has no way of knowing, that he has never coached so many matches at this level in his life. We, in a year and a half, have 100 matches.
Do you know what 100 official matches means? With 14 matches more than the opponents, we had 14 matches more than Dinamo. 14 matches with a big load, don’t be surprised Şumudica. We have many injured, some with less serious injuries, others with serious ones, but who are missing.
It is the first time since I have been in football, since 1992, that I have seen players who said: <
(no. So FCSB can’t do two similar seasons?) Well, yes, FCSB can do a similar season, if it has the lot to allow it. We didn’t have a lot, because there were important injured players, players who were no longer at their level, maybe because they were forced to play too much and players who didn’t integrate and who didn’t help us“, said Mihai Stoica, for Prima Sport.
