The FCSB Chronicle
Player ratings5 Oct 2026
Mateo Lisica beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 34. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Match5 Oct 2026
FCSB are top
20 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

A falling-out at FCSB
Ante Rebić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match3 Oct 2026
CFR Cluj take the points off FCSB
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Player of the month: Ante Rebić
Four weeks in which nobody in the division did his job better. The award goes on a shelf and the player goes back into the side, which is the order FCSB prefer.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
Daniel Marin faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Daniel Marin after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
Squad5 Oct 2026
David Miculescu slips down the pecking order
The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. David Miculescu is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Ante Rebić makes the team of the month
Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
The manager makes an example of Lukáš Zima
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- The dugout No place in the plan for Oleksandr Romanchuk
- The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Andrei Coman
- Market The Oleksandr Romanchuk question follows FCSB around
