Hard statement, but you miss some things. Steaua is in full reconstruction, they sold Goian, Ogararu returned back to Ajax, Dayro Moreno "the pearl of Colombia" was sent at Steaua 2 because of unprofessional behavious, same as Semedo a very fast Portuguese winger. We decided to make clean and to give a chance to these youngsters, after 2 bad season and also having the biggest academy from East.
Tatarusanu is new GK, Surdu, Ninu and Bicfalvi are back from a loan, Onicas comes from the academy he was the captain there, Szekely is kinda new because the last season he played some months at Steaua 2 because of bad play, Bibishkov and Grzelak are new.
Ovidiu Petre and Emeghara are long-term injuries, but they were regulars.
Steaua changed absolutely all the team from the last season, just the defense not.
Steaua 2008: Zapata-Emeghara-Ghionea-Goian-Ogararu-Toja-Radoi-Ov.Petre-Nicolita-Moreno-Kapetanos
Steaua 2009: Tatarusanu-Marin-Ghionea-Baciu-Ninu-Ochirosii-Toja-Onicas-Szekely-Stancu-Surdu
Steaua today: Zapata -Marin, Ghionea, Baciu, Ninu- Grzelak, Ionescu, Onicas, Nicolita-Stancu, Bibiskov
MAKE THE DIFFERENCE: in comparation with 2008, there 9 changes (!!!) and in comparation with the match from Bucharest, there are 5 changes...
Its very hard to play the same when you give the chance to every reserve, even the reserve of the reserve... and there was not so much time to do it! less than 2 months...
