Dinamo president sets top-three target and denies Karamoko discipline rumors

Dinamo president Andrei Nicolescu has confirmed that the club’s primary objective for the current SuperLiga season is to finish in one of the top three positions. Speaking to Fanatik Superliga, Nicolescu explained that while winning the championship is not excluded, it is not a mandatory condition for achieving the season's goals. He emphasized that securing any spot from first to third would satisfy the administration's targets for this campaign.

The president contextualized this ambition by noting the club's recent reconstruction process. He stated that just two years ago, competing at the top of the table was not viewed as a realistic goal. Although the team began considering higher placements midway through last season due to favorable circumstances, the formal target of a top-three finish represents a significant shift in expectations compared to previous years.

Nicolescu also addressed and categorically denied rumors suggesting that player Karamoko faced disciplinary problems or required bodyguard supervision during a recent away trip. He described reports of guards watching the player as false, clarifying that the presence of a security officer is a standard logistical procedure for all team travels rather than a punitive measure directed at any specific individual.

Addressing speculation linking Karamoko's performance in the match at Cluj to alleged indiscipline, Nicolescu attributed the display solely to sporting form. He asserted that strict team protocols prevent players from leaving the hotel during away fixtures, with hotel reception staff monitoring compliance to ensure rules are respected by the entire squad.

Regarding security logistics, Nicolescu revealed that the club currently employs only one security agent for away games. This marks a reduction from the two or three agents that accompanied the team when he first arrived at Dinamo, indicating a calmer operational environment compared to previous seasons.
