Many FCSB players are far from the form that sanctified them, but a former member of the Golden Generation talks about the inexplicable downfall of Florinel Coman, the Romanian runner-up.

Adrien Illier believes that the lack of succession affected Florinel Coman

Adrian Ilieu, a three-time champion of Romania with Steaua Bucharest, discussed with former FCSB player Florin Gardos the situation of the footballer, who received the captain’s armband from the Romanian runners-up this season. They also mentioned the rather serious injuries of the red-blue winger, who has often been missing in recent years.

“He went through a very good period in his football career and I think the best time was when he played at Viitorul, very little at Steaua (FCSB). He also had a lot of injuries, he didn’t recover, but from my point of view, even if you have talent, you don’t have continuity at this point.

Continuity to express himself match after match, at least a 6.5 or 7. Lots of swings and I think that’s where it all starts, with consistency. In the match against “Anderlecht” he seemed weak to me. We can’t categorize him as a ghost because we’re football players. Everyone plays as they can.

Gigi Becali can criticize anyone, but sometimes she should do it in private and not just on TV. Now, of course, he can be criticized, but the first criticism should be with him in the dressing room, as soon as the match is over. I can’t know what the problem is because I don’t know him personally, but I think it’s a matter of continuity.” – said “Cobra” to the Fanatic.

“At the moment I can’t do more because the coaches demand something else from them, I can’t because they don’t have continuity in the game, I can’t because they’ve gone through periods of injury and I can’t because this is the current level of the face.

I would be happy if he gets back to his pre-injury form. I think he can recover, but he’s recovering for nothing if he only plays well for a few months, 3-5 months. I don’t think Steaua (FCSB) has the same pressure as if you were going to play Atletico Madrid. – added Adrian Ilieu.

Florin Gardosh denies Gigi Bekali’s public appearances

“Criticism can’t help but affect you, no matter how strong you call yourself and you don’t care. He has the problem of not playing for a long time, but he doesn’t seem to have a blast from the past either. He seemed to make progress this season after being given the armband, but to criticize after 30 minutes I don’t know if that was the time.

At FCSB, the pressure is different. This puts a taint on the boss and you don’t play again for 6 months. He may fear the tones of Gigi Becali. Especially for players brought in without a contract, over 25, who can no longer be charged significant amounts of money.

Florinel Coman’s recovery is up to him, because until now he was really given chances and the boss even supported him and he seemed to be on the mend, but now he seems to be on the downward curve again.” – said the former FCSB player, who denies the position of the financier of the team, Gigi Bekali.

Florinel Coman played 18 matches for FCSB this season, the 24-year-old scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists.

FCSB paid €3 million to bring him in the summer of 2017. €3 million is his market share according to Transfermarkt.
