Romania TV paid a very large amount for the rights to the return of FCSB – LASK Linz (Austria), but the investment was an inspired one. The business concluded with an agreement between Gigi Becali and Sebastian Ghiță meant a great success for FCSB, if we look at how much money the Romanian champion collected, as Adevărul wrote here. For Romania TV, the victory achieved from a media point of view came today, when the audience figures for Thursday evening appeared.

Gigi Becali praised the Romania TV commentary
At the end of the game, strangely enough, in the Romania TV studio they kept shouting that the broadcast of the match by this channel brought luck to FCSB! Also played the song “We are Romanians“, while the screen showed images of the joy of the FCSB players.
After it was shouted several times that Romania TV brought luck to FCSB in the return match with LASK Linz, a telephone intervention by the team’s boss, Gigi Becali, followed. Who began his speech by praising both the broadcast made by Romania TV and the commentary on Darius Olaru’s goal.
FCSB returns to sports stations
This summer, the subject of the transmission of FCSB’s European matches became one of great interest, given that the matches were “walk” yes on TV, yes exclusively online. The last variant caused great dissatisfaction.
As of now, however, this topic has ended. Because, starting with the Europa League group stage, all the red-blue games will be broadcast by Digi Sport and Prima Sport, the two stations that hold the rights for the UEFA interclub competitions, after the preliminaries are over.
