FCSB – UTA 4-0. Gigi Becali, the boss of the red-blues, went live immediately after the match and talked about the victory achieved by his team in stage #14 of the Superliga.
The Romanian champion took a breather after the success with UTA and reached 16 points, being 3 away from the 6th place, occupied by Oțelul Galați.
Becali praised Mamadou Thiam, the scorer of the 4th goal with UTA. The FCSB boss also singled out Olaru, Tănase and Bîrligea and said why he only made one change until the 80th minute. The only change was before the break, with Cisotti coming off due to injury.
What Gigi Becali said after FCSB – UTA: “Thiam I can see that he is a footballer. When he puts his foot on the ball, he knows himself”
“What would be the point of changing? If the team is going and I don't have emotions and I don't make mistakes? That's how they want to have matches, to have rhythm. Okay, me, we're 2-0, play, have rhythm. When you have players like Tănase and Bîrligea, it's very easy. When a player invents a goal like Bîrligea did, the match becomes easy. The shot was too strong.
I can't remember since I haven't had emotions, probably a long time. If I don't remember anymore. I don't change Olaru if it's not necessary. The team did not need to be changed. He puzzled her again, it didn't really work out. But I left him, he is my favorite, because of work. Out of respect for him, I leave it. But if you keep it from mistake to mistake… The match against Bologna could be his restart.
You make mistakes, you're changed, that's my philosophy. But if it turned out like this, I won championships, I won millions, I go by that philosophy. That there are exceptions in life, as happened now.
You must not forget, we are the only one in the Europa League and we have 3 points. We still have 5 matches to play in the Europa League. This is happening now, not 4 years ago, 5 years ago. So, have a little memory and your friends, Mr. Samuila, read again if somehow they forget. You said we have the best players. But who brought those players?
It can be seen that the basic players return, Bîrligea, Olaru, Tănase. Dawa also returns in a month. What will they, your friends, say in about 10 stages, when we will be there on the podium? We'll be there in 10 stages. Can't Dinamo fall from there?
Can't Botoșani fall? Rapid and Craiova don't think so, but Botoșanii will take some beating. It is more difficult with Rapid and Craiova, they are strong teams. Dinamo, FC Argeș… They are 8 points away, it's not a big deal, we have direct matches with them. The team is showing signs of starting to come back.
Thiam I see is a footballer. When he puts his foot on the ball, he knows himself”declared Gigi Becali, at Prima Sport 1
