FCSB is Steaua? Sorin Ghionea intervenes virulently: “Give the money back!”

“I played at Steaua. On the emblem on the chest wrote Steaua. And the club was called Steaua then ”, this begins the discussion Ghionea, a central defender at the club that is now called FCSB in the first decade of the 2000s.

He still hopes to reach a reconciliation: “They all supported the same team. I think they will do it soon. In the shortest possible time, we hope. Because we have succeeded not unique, but, as we do, the Romanians, when things are going well. We divide them. And we got two Dinamo teams, one in the 2nd League, one in Liga 1.

Two teams with the same colors, red-blue, one in Liga 1, one in the 2nd League. It's a fast in Liga 1, but I understood that there are others. We managed to make our Romanians. ”

I hope that the problem will be solved. And everyone who now does not support this team, which I call FCSB, have supported this team called Steaua. Since 2002, since I came to Steaua, until 2010, when I left. I don't know those who broke off whether they were willing or influenced, but it is certain that they did

In fact, Ghionea signed with the Star fixed before the team was taken over by Gigi Becali, in the 2002-2003 season.

“I am on the side of the team I played. Because I can't say that I played at FCSB, when I played at Steaua. I played for this team that is now in Liga 1. It was called Steaua, now FCSB due to the legal character or what is behind, the paper … it surpasses this thing, but from a sporting point of view, the team that made points in the Champions League, who took the world to the street, who won the championship was FCSB.

By the way, when they negotiated the transition from the army, to take the team Mr. Becali, I came to Steaua! The negotiations were intense and in the end they materialized. Nothing could be done without the consent of both parties.

MAPN was associated with a company that paid him, as far as I understood, plus-minus 100,000 per month… it was. It was 30,000 euros the match at home, the rent, there were two matches a month at home, the rent of the sports base, about 30,000 euros, there were 90,000 and something. And if you had the European matches – it appears plus -minus one million. That is, the state institution has received from a company that is now accused of theft plus-minus, 1.2 million euros annually. I don't know how old. Many, I say.

You, the state institution, have received some money from another company that you later accuse of theft. Then let's give all the money we received back. So it seems normal to me“, Said Ghionea, at the GSP podcast” 2 to 1 “.

With Real Madrid, with Lyon, they all jumped through the stands and La Loje. Legally we go beyond our things, but it is clear. Okay, even Gigi Becali is not the most beautiful, the best man on earth. Like each of us, we have our flaws, but it has the merit of having kept this team alive. To invest, to earn money, that no one invests without winning
