Red Star – FCSB 1-0. Gigi Becali, the boss of the Romanian champion, went live immediately after the unfortunate failure in Belgrade, from the Europa League group, where the red-blues played with an extra man for 3 quarters of the match.

Gigi Becali also criticized Florin Tănase, one of his favorites. He accused him of holding onto the ball too much.

What Gigi Becali declared, immediately after Red Star – FCSB 1-0: “Tănase, do you touch the ball 75 times?”

“There's nothing to say. I don't trust this team anymore. What can I say? I also see the small teams, they still have a game relationship. The ball leaves Vasile, it goes to Ionică, to Costică. With us it's by the ear, everyone likes to play.

Everyone sits where they want on the field, everyone runs where they want, when they want, if they want. E a kind of training, let's have fun, it's not about performance. Let's play and have fun! I don't see performance football.

Tănase is a footballer, I always praised him. But hey, do you touch the ball 75 times? Why are you touching her? It was seen as he entered. He must already know. Well, you're not in Romania, no one expects you to make a move, they won't let you at this level! He's an experienced player, but he seems to have forgotten. They think they are playing with Metaloglobus.

We return with the ball… They look like stars, they have that… They have confidence, that's why they don't play football. Since you keep the ball at your foot, it means you have confidence in yourself, if you stay 100 years with the ball at your foot…

It's the attitude. It may be my fault. What you said is possible to happen. They have no respect for the coaches anymore. Because of me, I no longer pay attention to what the coach says. Everyone plays what they want. I have no information. Don't ask me if I have information. Do you want curls? I didn't say I had information, I just said it was possible“, declared Becali, at Prima Sport 1.

Even Radunovic is not what he used to be. Neither did Olaru, even if he drew red. Those players are gone. There are too many who don't confirm anymore. Radunovic, Olaru are no longer there. Then there's bad luck.

Last year we were praising the team for passing. Now… People don't stand out anymore. The ball game is gone. It means they are tricksters. If they made a million euros from Europe's premiums? They are millionaires now! There are people who have made a million and they don't burn anymore. It's about character

Gigi Becali, resigned: “It's the first time in 25 years that I say I no longer have confidence”

Becali continued in a resigned tone, declaring that he no longer trusts his team.

I don't believe in this team anymore. It's the first time in 25 years that I say I don't trust anymore. You play Petrol, the weakest team, and you don't beat them. Well, are you beating the Lighthouse? Well, if you lose with the Lighthouse, that's it! The team has no prospects, they don't play anything.

Come on, at the gate! If you don't shoot, you don't scare the opponent anymore. You keep walking the ball, you put it behind you. In the winter I will take 3-4 players, I have nothing else to do. What to do? I definitely take central defenders. Only Ngezana did all the mischief

Becali sent a message to Șucu: “Let's see if he plays on Thursday next year!”

Becali was asked if he takes over the Țucu model, that of letting the coach make all the tactical decisions.

“In Romania, everyone who did it ended up bankrupt. I'm interested in the money. Until they bring the points to Șucu, I'll bring money to myself. This is how I see it, that we're going to win the championship. What should I do? I'll say it again. If I said I had confidence, you'd say I was crazy. Then I criticize the team, they see it, watch TV, wake up and win the championship.

I can't make a case now. where did i play Did Sucu play today? Did he play today? Let's see if he plays on Thursday next year! I will play too. You'll still be looking at me”, answered the boss from FCSB.
