Gike Popescu – attack on Edi Iordenescu

Guique Popescu, the president of Farul Constanța, was very harsh towards the selector Edi Iordenescu and criticized him during the Fotbal Show on Prima Sport.

“Edi Iordenescu did a great injustice to two of our players, Mariano Ioannis and Pete. Ioani is the first team’s lowest scoring goalkeeper this year and seeing the three goalkeepers called up (Moldovan, Tirnovana and Mihai Popa) could be counted among them.

Plus Alexi Peeta. I think he is the best passer in Ligue 1, he is one of the strongest strikers and passers in the league. Looking at the list of players, I think Peetu could easily be among them, without any forcing.” – said “Baciul”.

In the current season of the Super League, Alexi Pitou scored 4 goals and provided 5 crucial assists for Farul Constanta, noting even at the last stage of the championship against Chindia Tirgovishte (1-1).
