It remains to be seen how far Nicolae Dike will be able to get the team in Arad as well, especially since large-scale changes in the “first 11” are predicted.

This is due to the fact that FCSB is involved in both the championship and the Conference League, and UTA, of course, wants a lot more from the game now, after the defeat in the capital.

There is a “case of Claudio Kesher” in Arad. Oradean does not move like in the first part of his career. He runs hard, has a few extra kilos, and his results in Arad are below expectations. He doesn’t play much, usually at the end of the match, and it wasn’t until Sunday night that he scored his first goal of the season.

“I do everything that belongs to me on the field, then it depends on the coach. I want to score every time. I am not a coach, I cannot express my opinion about what is happening, what is not going well in the team. I’ll let the coach have his say. In the 10 minutes I play lately, I do my best, I go out with determination. I’m not a decision maker.

Is it worth shooting? God forbid! With the parameters I have and the way I look in those 10 minutes, I can tell you for sure that I will not retire. As long as I’m having fun, why shoot? I will continue to play, whether it’s here or somewhere else,” Kesheru said on Sunday night.

When asked if he will be used more in the Cup matches, he honestly answered: “It’s an unpleasant situation… Of course, I’m thinking about going to another club. I did not come here for money, this is the smallest contract in my career. When the contract ends, in December, we will discuss.”

The waters have calmed down at the FCSB, where the humiliation at Silkeborg, 0-10 overall, raised the question of a change of coach. Nicolae Dike narrowly escaped the guillotine of Gigi Becali.

FCSB will use the second set, so forgotten names on the bench will appear in the starting 11. One of them is Octavian Popescu, who is experiencing a significant drop in form, but little is known about Janis Stoica either.

It is known that the FCSB does not value the Cup, which general manager Mihai Stojka considers a “competition of losers”. So a surprise is just around the corner.

CS Mioveni, FC Botoşani, Ocelul Galați and FC Buzău are also in Group B of this stage of the Romanian Cup.
