Alexandru Chipciu (36 years old), the footballer from U Cluj, was the guest of Mihai Mironică on the GSP Live Special show. The “veteran” of the Transylvanians has addressed several topics, including the “war” between CSA Steaua and FCSB, regarding the record.
Chipciu, who evolved between 2012 and 2016 at FCSB, revealed that Florin Talpan, Star's lawyer, was a constant presence at Gigi Becali's team in European Cups, being a great supporter. Later, Chipciu does not understand what happened to this situation, which he considers “an anomaly”.
Alex Chipciu, about the “war” between CSA Steaua and FCSB: “It's an indescribable circus!”
“If we think again about the madness that created between these two teams (no FCSB and Steaua), all people are perceived in this spectrum of stars, FCSB. And if you look at Mr. Lăcătuș, you associate it with Steaua, and with FCSB, everyone is under this umbrella.
Now I have seen a weirdness with the titles of 2012, 2013, 2014 … there are nothing. I can no longer build other thoughts of all this madness, you have nothing to express. Of course, you must respect the law, it seems that the documents were not good.
I understand the people who believe that CSA Steaua is the continuation, the legends, and so on, I have a great respect, they created my madness and star. Everyone is divided.
The biggest problem is this with the trophies. There are no trophies in any team, nobody pays, UEFA considers FCSB. It's an indescribable circus!
I caught a match on Giulești, 3-0, gave Pancu 2 goals, it is good that that match disappeared, for me, as a star (no laugh). I took another victory of Dinamo, in Stefan cel Mare, 3-2, also during that 1998-2003.
There are some abnormalities, a sports law should be made with societies, as they have detached from the ministries, not to divide a record in 7, or worse, to disappear. It's an anomaly! You can not fit something sports on legal law, to say that in 1900 autumn took the championship I do not know who.
Everyone can think of something, I am not someone's lawyer, I have no interest. For me it is weird, I don't report to the past anymore, it doesn't matter anymore. Everyone is free to choose. That there were mistakes of documents, someone had to pay, no one paid. Everything stays in the air. Anyway, today's children no longer perceive, FCSB for them is FCSB, it doesn't matter that it is the star or it is not the star.
The idea is that the FCSB brand has surpassed the Steaua brand, or CSA Steaua, as it is called. It is normal, every man is related to the present and what produces happiness. A team playing in Europe causes enthusiasm, whether you want or do not want.
If this will be continued, the discrepancy will be increasing. I do not know with the promotion of the CSA, if you have no right to promote, how much will you play that? And the coach, Daniel Oprița, is unhappy with the situation. So many years of quarrels … “, said Alexandru Chipciu, at GSP LIVE Special,
Alex Chipciu did not forgive Florin Talpan: “I find something dictatorial, it's something aberrant!”
“And Mr. Talpan, without getting too far into the subject. During the FCSB period, we were playing with Chelsea, he was a supporter, he came to matches, after that … it's a circus, but that's it, that's what happened. Maybe there will be a law in which to count the sports part.
We were talking to school once, I had a former minister for the law, he handed us. He said that many teams are no longer the companies that were at one point. The idea is the world that associates the brand, at FCSB everyone associates the brand with the former team, that's clear.
(No about Florin Talpan's recent statement, “Steaua is me!”) It was dangerous. With all that was, with the madness of the elections, and with everything that has happened in Romania in recent months … How to say that? The star is never a person, the star is made up of supporters who have carried the energy over the years.
It seems to me something dictatorial, in the time of communism I have heard “Romania is me”. It seems to me abnormal, to take everything in personal interest, that it is worth promotions, it is aberrant. I don't know CSA Steaua supporters as they reacted, I was really thinking. It seemed aberrant, honest!“Added Alex Chipciu.
