FCSB won the Saturday evening match against Oțelul Galați very clearly, with a score of 4-0, in the current round of the play-out, and after this game, it seems that the red and blues have gained another important player for the future.
After the easily won match at home at the National Arena on Easter evening, FCSB owner Gigi Becali noticed a young, high-value footballer, whom he says will be a starter in the next round’s match, away at Farul.
Considering that Bîrligea has become unavailable for the entire season, the young Alexandru Stoian (18 years old), the one who scored a goal last night, will become a much better option for the starting "11" in the next round than the experienced Mamadou Thiam.
"(ed. who are the players you noticed) Olaru, Tănase, Cisotti, Mihai Popescu, central defender. I can't say because I haven't seen anything exceptional. (ed. did Stoian convince you?) He convinced me with his execution. He needs to play, and I believe he is a better option than Thiam as a forward. It's better with Stoian as a forward. Even if he's not an underdog. Thiam can hold onto the ball more, he has experience. Stoian is not extraordinary, but the execution he had against Oțelul shows he is a great footballer," said Gigi Becali on TV Prima Sport.
FCSB bought Stoian from Farul Constanța for the sum of 500,000 euros when he was only 17 years old, in January 2025.
