FCSB official criticizes Batubinsika's demand for guaranteed playing time

FCSB official Mihai Stoichiță has criticized defender Dylan Batubinsika for his attitude regarding playing time. Stoichiță questioned what arguments the player has to impose a condition that he must start every match without any conditions.

Reports indicate that Batubinsika is dissatisfied with his current situation at the club because he is not receiving sufficient minutes on the pitch. Consequently, the defender has allegedly instructed his agent to search for a new team during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Stoichiță drew on his past coaching experience to refute the idea of guaranteed starting spots. He noted that he previously coached the Panama national team, which qualified for the World Cup twice, yet no player from that squad had a contract clause ensuring they would be a starter at their respective clubs.

Former coach Valeriu Răchită provided an assessment of the defensive hierarchy at FCSB. He identified Duarte and Dawa as the primary starters under coach Laurențiu Reghecampf, with Mihai Popescu serving as the third option. Răchită placed Batubinsika as the fourth central defender in the squad.

Răchită suggested that Batubinsika’s prospects for playing time have diminished further following the return of Mihai Popescu to the field. Based on this depth chart, Răchită predicted that the defender is likely to leave the club.
