Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of FCSB, spoke on Wednesday evening, after the clear failure in the groups of the Romanian Cup, score 0-3, away, on the field of UTA Arad. He also spoke about the situation of Denis Alibec (34 years old), a footballer who recently underwent surgery.
Alibec failed to convince FCSB and fell into disgrace with the boss. Even at the end of the year, he will not be able to earn his place in the team, as he will most likely not play in the remaining matches, dafter recently undergoing surgery to remove a cyst.

FCSB still has 4 matches to play in this calendar year, 3 of which are in the Super League: at home with Dinamo, away with Unirea Slobozia and at home with Rapid. The reigning champion of the Superliga will also play one match in the single group of the Europa League, at home against Feyenoord.
Mihai Stoica, the president of the FCSB Board of Directors, announced Alibec's operation a few days ago. On Wednesday evening, Becali came forward and made serious accusations live, saying that Alibec made the decision on his own to do the operation, without consulting anyone from the champion's medical staff.
Denis Alibec didn't ask anyone before the operation
“Alibec operates without asking anyone, he didn't ask anyone, he didn't ask the doctor, he said after he operated, without asking anyone”, said the boss from FCSB extremely indignantly, on Wednesday evening, on the show “Digi Sport Special”, from Digi Sport.

Denis Alibec underwent an operation to remove a cyst. I don't think he will play again in December. He has a period of rest, after which he will start training, but I don't think it is necessary to regain his athletic form to be able to play again.
– Mihai Stoica, about Denis Alibec

Returned to FCSB this summer, Denis Alibec made only 13 appearances in all competitions, but was not a full-time player in any of these matches. Moreover, the striker only made one decisive assist, which came in the victory with Go Ahead Eagles in the first leg of the Europa League, score 1-0, where he served David Miculescu ideally.
-
The only goal scored by Alibec came in the Romanian Cup victory with Gloria Bistrița, score 3-1, when he opened the scoring in the 26th minute from a penalty kick.

Denis Alibec will be 35 years old on January 5, 2026.
Other ideas of Gigi Becali after the lost match with UTA
George (nr. Tavi Popescu) asked himself out, the poor guy ran too much, I asked and that's what they told me, that he was tired. Okay, me, who knows what he thinks in his mind, that I will let him go if he plays coolly, he has 3 years left on his contract.
Baba Alhassan doesn't know football anymore, Tavi doesn't want to play anymore, the only one who played was Malcom Edjouma, Chiricheș can't be poor anymore.
Now, I told you, winter is coming, I can't wait for it to come, revolution, of course revolution, it's over, ready. I don't feel like going to punch the crowd anymore, but I show them in deeds, in decisions. I don't tolerate anything.
None of them caught my attention, Dăncuș, the strikers, no, they are 19 years old, do something, run, no, they pass to the opponent, we don't have football in Romania, you are 19 years old, go, run, run.
