The boss of FCSB relied on unconventional solutions for the game against the leader Cluj University.
The Romanian champion, in a delicate moment due to numerous absences from the team, will approach the match from the 16th stage of the Romanian Superliga with an unexpected starting team.
Vlad Chiricheș in midfield, Malcom Edjouma in the role of creator
In an attempt to make up for the absences from the team and to keep the rhythm of the game, Becali decided to start Vlad Chiricheș in a new position for him: closer.
The leader of the defense will go up in the middle line alongside Adrian Șut, forming a “double pivot” meant to establish the balance in front of the defense.
In the same tactical line of thinking, Malcom Edjouma has been pushed further forward, occupying the attacking midfielder position, in a ‘number 10’ role that will require him to play creative and aggressive football.
