After he had a reaction on this topic during the day on Friday, Becali came back and said that he called Radoi. He explained to him personally how the matter was, then conveyed to him that he understood his anger, considering that the Oltenians will fight with FCSB for the title, despite the difference of 11 points between the two.

Gigi Becali, message for Mirel Rădoi: “You get angry quickly and make some mistakes”

“I called Mirel and told him today «take a bath, look what's the matter. You have a temper, get angry easily and make some mistakes. You are too arrogant and too proud, but you also have too much intelligence and I hope you understood what I told you. I am your godfather, I was in an unpleasant situation. There were 14 points, isn't 11 enough for you?». The most important element is the distance of 14 points. Lucescu did it out of courtesy.

It was a conspiracy, Burleanu, with Lucescu, with Vassaras decided: one to congratulate me, another to arbitrate me, and another to do I don't know what (no laughs). Lucescu is old, maybe he makes mistakes. But when it comes to football, everyone has to shut up in front of him.

He demonstrated it through facts, results, the man made tens of millions. If you do, you are somebody in football. If at the age of 80 they make you a selector, that means you're somebody, right? It has an age and we have to accept it.

Every man can say what he wants, I don't mind as long as he doesn't attack me personally. The man has the right to say what he wants – that's why he pours millions of euros into football. I don't judge Rotaru either.

He can say what he thinks, even if it's not true. I don't mind at all. Should I be bothered by his crazy vision? That still remains his. If he thinks it was stolen, that's where he knocked. Everyone is looking for something when they are upset. I told the fin: “it's normal to be angry, that you and I will fight in the championship, with FCSB, because Rapid has no strength”. It's normal for him to be upset, he would have been champion if he had beaten me“said Gigi Becali, at Prima Sport.

I did not believe, until I checked for myself, that a Romanian coach could have such a statement, where another patron calls and says that he would like one team to win at the expense of the other. I find it shocking and that's all I can say.

It seems to be something normal. I got the link, I read it. I have never encountered anything like this until today. I understand that you support a team, but you can't do it like that, on your face, you can't come out and say you want the players from one team motivated, when you also have players from the other team.

But we are moving forward. I told you, it's one more thing we'll use as motivation for the players. All these things will do nothing but strengthen us. I, as a selector, did not even allow myself to call the players without the consent of the clubs! There was no such thing! But everyone does as they think.

You shouldn't be in Romanian football anymore! I take it upon myself when I say this, regardless of the consequences, because football is not on a good trajectory in Romania at the moment. We can't grow football when we start with messes like this. We have no way!
