Virulent reactions, after Mirel Rădoi reported the countertop from CFR Cluj

The former defender brought back a moment spent in May 2006, when Steaua and Rapid were fighting for the title. Football player at Steaua then, Mirel claimed that he bet a huge sum on the Victoria of Giulesti with CFR Cluj (3-1), and now he made disclosures about that episode.

At the end of the 2005 – 2006 season, Steaua and Rapid were fighting for the title. Before the 28th round, the two bands were separated by two points, with the red-blue band being first.

At that stage, both teams won their matches. Rapid imposed, on the move, 3-1 with CFR Cluj, at Dej. And the star wins in the director, 2-1 with the sport. At the end of that match, Mirel Rădoi showed the bets tickets (at that time the footballers could bet) in which he bet on the Victoria of Rapid.

“How much did the Rapid beat? (no- 3-1). I knew! I will show you the betting ticket to see that I put 50 million (old lei) on the victory of the Rapid. And not by chance! I was sure about the victory of the Rapid! (No. Dorinel Munteanu does not defend his chances correctly?) Unfortunately, no! As far as I understood, it was above him, ”said Mirel Rădoi immediately after the match.

Then, in the parking lot, he showed the tickets. “Look, 2 clear! Not even X2 I put. I took 80 million.”

Mirel Rădoi, 19 years after the controversial CFR Cluj-Rapid 1-3: “I knew from Martin Tudor that Paszkany and Copos went to the locker room”

Now, 19 years from that moment, Mirel Rădoi spoke in detail about the subject. And he revealed that Arpad Paszkany, then a owner of CFR Cluj, and George Copos, the leader of the Rapid, went to the locker room to the Cluj players.

“There were no rules! It was total freedom. It was the first and last time I bet. I learned from Martin Tudor (no- porter at that time at CFR Cluj), God rest him! He told me very clearly that “Mr. Paszkany and Mr. Copos came to the locker room and told us he had to win the team quickly. Then I was removed from the first 11 ». I had a discussion with Dorinel, I don't make it public.

I told everyone. I called my wife “Bring me to the stadium all the money we have!” I remember then there were 80 million (No – he had stated that he bet 50 million), all the money I had in the house. He said that I didn't even have milk for milk. I took all the money in the house!

I didn't play bets and I didn't know you couldn't take a single match. I played a match and it was equal at the break and we were receiving messages if we lose the money. The match ended as it had to, but the interesting part followed after, ”said Mirel Rădoi, for digisport.ro.

I was called to the commission, I was quarreled for 20 minutes why I bet. No one asked me where I knew. I said with the subject and preached the people who were in the locker room at the CFR, I kept everything punctually.

Everyone was shocked, but nothing has been done. I have nothing with Mircea Sandu, but now I see that he is right. Should talk about what happened in those moments. They were silent for many years. If a player tells you that he knows the result of the match, he tells you where, he gives names and you leave things like that and you don't point anything … He had to resign then. That hurt them, that I said publicly.

What the Sports Gazeta wrote in 2006 about CFR Cluj – Rapid 1-3: “Coven!”

After Steaua and Rapid won in that round, the Gazeta Sporturii newspaper titled on the first page: “The theater! Theatrical. Steaua and Rapid won in front of opponents who, to a large extent, made a figuration”. In addition, about CFR Cluj – Rapid the newspaper Note: “Common interest of the cherry. The rapists were whistled by the public, but embraced by advesari.”

Daniel Pancu, Immediate reply for Mirel Rădoi: “It is a serious attack on the Rapid”

Daniel Pancu, now a selector at the youth national team, then player at Rapid, immediately gave Mirel Rădoi's reply. And he accused that Steaua was making countertops.

“My heart beats more after these statements. It is a serious attack on the Rapid. Especially since that season, Steaua had some matches with Poli Iași, Lighthouse and FC Vaslui … With Rapid, all the opponents played with 11 players in the box. And with Steaua they played at Offsaid at the middle of the field. What I tell you is even worse!

I remember a match with the Lighthouse, with Anton Heleșteanu at the center. It's over 0-0, we sell three unpaid penalties. And the lighthouse stayed with the whole team in 16 meters. At the match with CFR Cluj no one entered the locker room. I tell you this 100%. And I have good memory. Probably some from CFR Cluj played to beat us, some not to beat us, “said Daniel Pancu on the show” Digisport Special “.

Iuliu Mureșan, macabre joke: “Let's ask Martin Tudor if it was something unclean”

Then Iuliu Mureșan entered live, who was the president of Cluj. He denied the accusations and made a macabre joke, related to Martin Tudor, the former goalkeeper in 2019.

“I really don't understand why you say that now. It's a matter of 2006. It has no logic! To make a macabre joke, we should ask Martin Tudor. I very much respected Martin Tudor, a very good goalkeeper and a quality man. But unfortunately I did not inform me too.

I'm telling you that 100% did nothing weird at that match. CFR Cluj has no constant in results now. But then? I was at the beginning, the second year in the first league, and normal you were missing matches, even at home. But not intentionally. We were not involved in anything. It was the end of an era where things were heard, “said Iuliu Mureșan.

CFR Cluj then refused Star's money and had taken Martin Tudor's out of the team

At that end of the season, Gigi Becali wanted to stimulate the players from Cluj through Martin Tudor, but Paszkany and Muresan refused and removed the former goalkeeper.

Moreover, the Sports Gazeta wrote in the printed edition that: “They refused Gigi's money! The leaders of the Cluj threatened the players that if they take the Star's money they leave the team.

Several players of Cluj claim that they were contacted on Friday night by representatives of the Steaua Club. “Someone calls for a farewell to the Star, a match against the Rapid. $ 5,000 in victory and $ 1,000. Then we were called by our officials, who told us:” Star risks black on white with Rapid. If you accept the money, we leave! “, A player under the protection of anonymity said.

Others claim that the money promised by Becali was around $ 10,000 in victory. On Saturday morning, before leaving for Bucharest, the entire CFR lot was called in the Cantonment in Gruia, where the situation was discussed. The players were advised to play correctly and refuse any offer from Steaua. In addition, special bonuses were announced for a positive result in Giuleşti ”.

“It is not possible! It is a clear case of inciting corruption. We will notify the Prosecutor's Office and the Prosecutor's Office next to the Court of Appeal. It will go to the end,” said Dumitru Dragomir regarding the accusations of countertop.
