What Aberdeen can expect from super-confident FCSB
Aberdeen v FCSB in Europa League qualifyingDate: Thursday, 21 August Venue: Pittodrie Stadium Kick-off: 19:45 BST Coverage: Live on BBC Scotland and BBC Sport website from 19:30, live text commentary on the website Controversial FCSB owner Gigi Becali caused a bit of a stir in the north-east of Scotland after his club set up a Europa League play-off against is so confident of his club progressing that he has apparently already accounted for the money his side will rake in for reaching the league phase of a tournament they performed well in last Dons' boss Jimmy Thelin is the kind of manager who pins disparaging remarks made from the opposition camp to his changing room wall is unknown, but they have certainly added some edge to the confidence emanating from the Romanian champions belies what has been a poor start to the season domestically and have won just once in their six league openers and were humbled by North Macedonians - and former Aberdeen foes - Shkendija in Champions League qualifying after narrowly squeezing past minnows Inter Club D'Escaldes of Andorra, a tie in which they embarrassingly lost the second then had to come from 2-0 down at half-time in the first leg of the third qualifying round for this tournament against Kosovan champions Drita to secure their play-off the tepid start to their title defence, former Kilmarnock winger Danny Armstrong endeared himself to the Dinamo Bucharest fans by knocking in a spectacular hat-trick in the 'Eternal Derby' at the start of the month in a 4-3 victory over FCSB not long after his move to the Romanian none of that has got in the way of the confidence oozing out of the country, with Florian Prunea - who kept goal at the 1994 World Cup as they reached the quarter finals - giving the Dons no chance. "FCSB qualification, no problems, 100%, qualification without problems," he said."Two wins, both away and at home. FCSB scores at least two goals at Aberdeen."The reality is that both clubs will be content with the draw, given Aberdeen could easily have landed a more challenging match-up looked dangerous against Drita but were suspect in defence and that vulnerability will be what Thelin will hope to capitalise on at a full Pittodrie on Thursday Romanians are former European Cup winners, one of just two from Eastern Europe to lift the trophy, when they were more widely known as Steaua success on penalties in Seville in 1986 against a Barcelona side with former Dons striker Steve Archibald in their number was seismic. They also reached the final three years later before running into a star-studded AC then they have struggled to make an impact on the European stage, although an 11th placed finish in last season's League Phase saw them reach the last 16 before being well beaten by were hammered 4-0 by Rangers at Ibrox on a rare off night last term, losing only four of their 14 Europa League matches, starting with success at this stage against LASK. Who are FCSB's players to watch? So recent pedigree is there and in Romania striker Daniel Birligea they have a man who scored 21 times last season and who has continued that form into this midfielder Juri Cisotti, they have a 32-year-old who is hitting his best in his twilight playing years, with Bicali confident the Italian could be the difference against the and attacking midfielder Darius Olaru, who played at Euro 2024 for Romania, dictates play and even former Heart of Midlothian and St Mirren defender Mihai Popescu has forced himself into the international reckoning this year during the latter part of his playing club waited nine years for league title success but have just gone back-to-back despite their troubles early on this term. Last year began in a similar fashion before they roared to the finish line with an unbeaten run of 24 Liga 1 recent addition to both FCSB and the national team has been striker Dennis Politic, who was brought in from Dinamo Bucharest in the summer and has already been seduced by the confidence of his chairman."It will be a tough match against Aberdeen, but the boys on the team beat much tougher opponents last year. We have to go modestly from the first match, motivated, so I don't think we will have any problems."If that last line isn't pinned up by Thelin, it will surely be mentioned in dispatches in the build-up to what is a huge match for the Scottish Cup they ready?

Rutter is the 'connector' in the dressing room
It has been just over a year since Georginio Rutter headed south from Leeds United to join his latest news conference, Fabian Hurzeler spoke at length about the importance of the French attacker in the dressing room in his first 12 months on the south coast."Like he is as a person, [his first year] has been positive," Hurzeler said. "He is always smiling and joking, but when it is time to work he knows to switch on."He is a great connector - normally [in the dressing room] you always have groups but he connects the different cultures, ages and characters. He is not only important for me on the pitch, off it as well."He is a very positive person, every time you see him you need to smile! He brings a positive energy and he gives it to everyone. That is so crucial because there is pressure, but I want the players to enjoy it when they step into the building. "It is so important that they find the joy and Georgie brings that."
