That's in 2011. He wanted me then, just offend me and I said no i'm not playing at him never. I have no way, because I don't like it. I like the Becali man, but I wouldn't like to play where he is a patron. Everyone wants to play at FCSB. This is true football, playing in European competitions. If he hadn't offended me, I would have gone. “
