Gigi Becali, 67, regrets that he took Octavian Popescu at the break the match between FCSB and Shkendijascore 1-2. The one who entered, Denis Alibec, was inefficient in the second part.
Octavian Popescu started as a decisive duel for the preliminary round of the Champions League. It was active, contributed to the phase of the unique goal scored by FCSB, but between the halves, Gigi Becali preferred to fight Denis Alibec. The reason? The champion owner believed that Popescu lost the ball in too many lines.
Indeed, the one who replaced Popescu did not lose the ball as much, but he had no achievement. To the only phase in which he stands out, he sent a lot next to the gate!
After the match, Becali admitted that he was wrong with that change. It is, in his words, the only thing he reproaches.
Gigi Becali reveals “the only thing I reproach me” after eliminating with Shkendija
“Yes, yes. This is my only reproach. He lost too much, I couldn't leave him. He was losing them, too much.
But if I left it, it may be something else. I put Alibec who has no rhythm. Slow, until he set his foot on the ball stole his “cabbage”. If I were to have a reproach, this is. So much, ”Becali told Primasport.
Gigi Becali: “Miculescu, dust today!”
Charged were David Miculescu and Adrian Şut:
“The middle of the field matters. If you have a player in the minus, as we had a shot … I don't know what happened, it is possible to have some problems in the family. Otherwise I do not know what it could be. It has hidden by the game, the ball! Simply!
David Miculescu was dusty today, he lost them all! ”.
Other ideas of Gigi Becali:
What Europa League? That's how you can't qualify. Weaker team than these does not exist! I have no confidence that we qualify. Not in conference, nothing. I have no confidence. If we don't play anything, what else?
The team does not play at speed, does not move, does not come to receive. There are no pass solutions. Don't play quickly as I did. There is no war, that is, ambition. There is no more! Why don't they? Probably people got tired.
This is the most shameful failure of all. There have been any misfortunes, but now a C. Division team has been beat you twice. It's not an accident!
