Romanian football icon Adrian Mutu has been among those who have harshly criticized Steaua Bucharest and its elimination from the Champions League against Shkëndija Tetovo. Everyone expected a match dominated by the Romanians, but the Tetovo team put in an excellent performance, winning the return match in Bucharest in the next round of the tournament.
" I was surprised, as we all are. Last week I was sure of FCSB's victory. The result is disappointing for everyone. I think they didn't have the right attitude towards the opponent, I think they weren't awake yet, compared to last season. The pace is very low, very easy. You can't say they are a weaker team. Maybe they felt on the pitch that they could do more and that the opponent is not at the level of the teams of the Europa League season, but you can't say that when you have been defeated twice. This is a lack of professionalism, to say something like that. This means that you don't know how to lose ," Mutu told "Fanatik".
" We were used to a slow start to the season from FCSB, but these were important moments. Xhixhi Bekal's statements after the match say it all. He said that his team made him laugh. He expected more. His dream is the Champions League. I don't know what happened inside the team, how they thought they could manage this period. But at this moment a much weaker team beat them. I think so too, that it is a weaker team, but in these two matches it was better. I saw that they won more duels. This says it all. At this moment, FCSB is not ready and cannot even face a team like Shkëndija ," said Adrian Mutu.
