“In the land of the blind, the crow is king“. This sentence perfectly describes the championship that FCSB won last season. This result”hidden“If we look at it as a whole, this club is a massive failure.

The reason is simple: FCSB is the Romanian team with the largest budget and the highest salary, and has brought in the best players in the country over the years. However, a team that should have “Confiscation“This title, with these assets, finally conquered him, waiting for 9 years! Basically, between 2015-2016 and 2022-2023, FCSB is in”run“In a game, equipped with advanced equipment, but always defeated by the opponent”boots“Using second-hand shoes! Maybe this description is a bit exaggerated, but it explains very well how teams like Astra Giurgiu, Viitorul/Farul won the title before FCSB!
In this context, last season’s victory represents onlySedation” for “Chronic pain” FCSB’s founder, its patron, described it perfectly: “Do as Beccari tells us“But once the effect is over”Pain medication“, the problems caused by the club’s amateurism are back. Even in a more serious form! The result? A disastrous defeat in this league debut, FCSB only has 5 points in 6 games, ranking second from the bottom!
The reality reflected in the rankings
Those who followed Gigi Becali’s statement in May, after a play-off win by one step, realised that the FCSB boss and “Drink cool water”, in his unique style. Because of this success, he was convinced that he was capable enough to play the role of coach with confidence. Hence his arrogant remarks:Until then, I was saying bring me a team. Now, I’m telling you bring me a trainer. Since then I wanted to measure my strength with Lucescu (not referring to Dan Uku who is negotiating with Mircea Lucescu for the Rapid coach position). What Galca? It’s not my size. Petrescu, Lucescu, Hagi are all my size. I want Lucescu in Rapid, someone to fight with.“.
To Becali’s disappointment, Mircea Lucescu failed to make the Rapid team. Instead, FCSB’s rivals carefully hired some capable coaches instead of “puppet“. Moreover, the current Chinese Super League ranking shows us an indisputable reality.
Specifically, in the play-off zone, five of the top six teams have technical personnel at the level of our champions. We are talking about Galca of Craiova, Kopić of Dinamo, Sabao of Cluj, Dorinel Munteanu of Oserul and Dan Petrescu of Cluj. The only unexpected presence in the top six is Petrolul, a team with many management problems. However, it is likely that “Yellow Wolf“It will be difficult for them to stay in the play-off zone considering teams like Rapid, Hermannstadt and Farul Constanta have come from behind.
One more detail: in teams like Dynamo, Cluj and Oserul, the coach has currently achieved results that exceed expectations if we take into account the level of the players. Thus, an unwritten rule in football is confirmed: a team with a competent coach is sometimes more dangerous than a team with a first-class team but led by technicians below the level of the players!
Memories of Nightmare Season…
If we compare FCSB’s league results over the past two seasons, we’ll find that the team currently has less than a third of the points it had last year after six games.
To understand how badly FCSB started in domestic competition, we have to go back to 2019. Back then, the Bucharest team had fewer points after the first six stages: 4. And, despite a subsequent comeback, they paid the price for their missed start. In the championship standings, they were ranked 5th (out of 6) after the play-offs.
