Gigi Becali, 67 years old, owner of FCSB, commented the victory with U Cluj2-0 in the 15th stage of the Super League, a success that brought the red-blues closer to the play-off zone.
Becali has several notables, but there are also players who displeased him, despite the win to nil. On top of that, he no longer has any problems regarding qualifying for the play-offs, now that FCSB has equaled the 6th place Oțelul Galați on points.
Gigi Becali, the first reaction after U Cluj – FCSB
“I had a hunch, I was sure we were going to win, because it is the situation it is. If you are in the situation where you are and you play with lesser teams and you don't win, you can no longer claim the team, the value, the money and everything.
Okay, it was the easier game that they played in 10, it's true. After it was 2-0, I had no more emotion, nothing.
Olaru is growing by the day, but it's still far from what it used to be. He's starting to look like Olaru, goals like that, but he's still not Olaru. He needs a little more accuracy in both shooting and passing. More precision. The precision he had, in fact. That was Olaru's goal that was. These characterize him, these unpredictable goals,” Becali initially told PrimaSport.
Olaru, Tănase and Cisotti on the plus side, 4 players caught in the crosshairs
“Olaru was the man of the match, but Tănase was tireless, he lit up the game, he played extraordinary. I still don't like Lixandru and Șut. We won the match because that's how it was, but Lixandru assisted the goal. Football is not in a goal pass, but in the demarcation, walked on the field, received the ball, gave, left.
I changed it because I was changing it anyway. There was no point anymore. They didn't get a shot on goal, there was no point in playing with two defenders. Especially since I saw Olaru and I said to make room for him, to make him want to play his position. It was rewarded for him. I said to make him want to play his position.
Sut, Lixandru, Ngezana and Radunovic are 4 players who are not up to par. Radunovic gave about two wrong balls to the opponent. You get a goal and goodbye! You are not allowed. Not only are they not up to par, they are very low, weak!“, continued Becali.
Gigi Becali is sure to catch the play-off
“The ball was only with us. This is what I conveyed to them: I don't want 3 goals, 3-0, but two. I like 2-0 the most. Why? Possession. We don't risk anymore. Pantea made his head over there. He doesn't understand that. Play it, pass it, don't do it anymore. But fear. Why? When Metaloglobus beats you, he gives you two goals, when Slobozia beats you… We didn't play that badly either, but when these things happen, a kind of fear intervenes.
There would be no fear if we were in the play-offs. Let's enter the play-offs, let's have 4-5 points from the 7th place. Okay, I'm not worried anymore, because now easier matches are coming for us. I'm not afraid anymore. Until now there was fear. Now there is no more problem. There are 15 matches left“, completed the patron of the champion.
Cisotti is very intelligent, has precision and timing. He knows when to jump, how to jump, where to jump, place and distance, he knows everything. Choose the moment. I changed it at the end because I was afraid.
This Cercel also played very well today. Very well, in the situation where Ngezana did not give him much security. The earring passes frontally, it has d-these. But he was afraid because Ngezana did not give him safety.
Let me be sure of the play-off, let's see what Stoian plays. Tănase told me: “I have doubts that he is better than me”. If Tănase says that, it means he sees something in him. Not? Okay, maybe he's exaggerating a bit, but the fact that he's allowed to say that means Stoian is valuable.
