The experiment Hagi and Popescu did with a very young 35-year-old coach has been giving poor results so far. So bad that Viitorul got to provoke the compassion of the rivals in the championship. Valeriu Iftime, president of FC Botoșani, estimates that his team could be third at the end of this season and links his calculations to the form of the Dobrogeans: “The aim is to pass one of CFR, FCSB and Craiova. I don’t see other very good teams. The future has no way of making the playoffs if you don’t change coaches immediately! I have never seen Hagi’s team play so badly as in the match with FCSB! It can also be seen from the plane that Gica is no longer the coach! ”.
Total disaster ahead
Hagi retired after the end of last season and became “main” Rubén de la Barrera, a Spaniard whose top performance came when he promoted Cultural Leonesa from the third league to the second league. With the Iberian on the bench, The future won by one point in two stages, 1-1 with the recently promoted UTA and 0-3 in the FCSB, the results not being the main concern of the Dobrogeans, Hagi’s problem is that the team looks horrible.
“I know Hagi is upset after this loss too.”Barrera said after the failure with FCSB. The party with the red-blues illustrated the change for the worse for the people of Constanta. They don’t even have the main weapon that Gica used in all the years he led them in the first league: possession. FCSB enjoyed the ball to the fullest, as Anton Petrea, the FC coach, maintained. Other data of the party surprise even more!

Chances: 10-2. Shots: 21-3. Shots on target: 10-1. The future did not exist, in a game in which Barrera strangely composed the team, in a 4-4-2 system with six attacking players. With the exception of the defenders, all the players were offensive and offensive midfielders.
After Hagi announced that he was resigning from the technical direction of the senior team and that he would focus only on the youth groups, he appointed Gică Popescu to choose a new coach. From the relationships he had in Spain, Popescu recruited Rubén de la Barrera. The choice was surprising both for his age, just 35, and for his modest resume, which contained only very small clubs.
“I saw Viitorul in the game with FCSB. The team looks very, very, very bad! You can also see from a kilometer that Hagi is no longer on the bench! It seemed to me that all the players were upset.”

Ask for more time
Rubén de la Barrera admitted after the failure with FCSB that his team looked bad, but remains convinced that he can change the situation: “In the next two weeks, when the championship is interrupted, we must grow as individual performances, and as a team. I trust you, but it takes time. There are some players who have recently come to us, they are not ready yet, settled down. I know I started the season badly, but I assure you that Viitorul will be one of the important teams in the championship! “
Lost three headlines
The Asturian was not right in a light context, some important players left last season, but this behavior in the market is already classic for Viitorul, Hagi also admitted that he cannot block the offered footballers, because he has no way to offer them salaries as high as those of the clubs that compete with them. Cristi Ganea left, at the end of the loan of Athletic Bilbao, Vlad Achim, loaned free to Dinamo, and Rivaldinho, sold in Krakow for 300,000 euros. The next to come out will be Gabi Iancu, last season’s top scorer in League 1.
He is in advanced negotiations with Al Ahli of Qatar, the band that Ruben led. Barrera said after the FCSB game that “we are trying to keep Iancu”, but the forward is attracted by the offer and the club would receive 800,000 euros, a good price for the footballer that Hagi brought free from Dunărea Călărași. Iancu did not play for the FCSB. “He said his leg hurt,” was the coach’s explanation.
