In a telephone intervention this morning, Gigi Becali (67 years old) wanted to praise one of the analysts in the studio, Gabriel Torje (36), whose career is identified with Dinamo.
Live on the “DigiSport Matinal” show, Gigi Becali appreciated an observation made by former footballer Gabriel Torje, regarding the race for a play-off place:
“What Gigi is referring to is that it's important that [FCSB] they play against opposing teams and can beat them, and everything is in the hands of the FCSB, not in the hands of the opponents”.
Gigi Becali bowed to him live: “The smartest analyst! It's you, then the rest!”
Hearing the DigiSport analyst, Becali kept praising him while also offending other football people:
“Be careful. Of all those, your guests over there, Torje. . . . It is not good to praise the man to his face, but now come to . . .” Torje has the best expertise, he is the fairest and most equidistant of all your employees, your guests!
The most correct, the most expertly, the most intelligent, the most worldly and the wisest talk is Torje, of all your guests. It's Torje, then the rest. Others have played high up, but don't let them talk! Does it take them all? Well, it takes them… Let it go, because it doesn't take them.
The man is decent, he is a staunch dynamist, but he didn't take that into account. What he says on television, he says rightly and correctly! He is a man of quality, a man of great quality. I know the people and he is a man of great quality.
Well, I didn't want to take it then, from Timișoara? I wanted to take it myself, but Borcea stepped in, who gave I don't know how much, two million and 50%. I told him: “You are crazy, how can you give so much?”.
So bravo to you, my child! I cheer you up, because you are a quality man”.
Torje answered him: “Thank you very much, nea Gigi.”
