Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of FCSB, commented on the injury of Florin Tănase (31 years old), who he came off the field after just 21 minutes in the match with Metaloglobus, from round number 28.
Tănase came back after the injury, but he didn't even last the game with Metaloglobus. After two visits to Belgrade, to the “healer” Marijana, he gave in again and asked for a change prematurely.
After the match, Becali analyzed the situation of the Romanian international, increasingly injured in the last month, and admitted that, in general, he does not agree with these miracle recoveries, in a record time, preferring that the healing of the players comes naturally.
Becali is not entirely happy with the interventions from the “witch doctor” Marijana
Even though he is not a follower of miraculous recoveries, Becali claims that he came to agree with the treatment from the “healers”, seeing that it gave results over time.
“I'm worried about Tănase, but I can't do anything. As Gica Craioveanu also said, everything happens naturally, when medicine forces it, this happens.
For 25 years I have said and disagreed, after they were done, we also won in European cups with players made by Marijana. That's why I accepted, it depends, I don't know what the problem is. So far Marijana has helped us, and today she helped us, we won the match without Tănase, it was good”said Gigi Becali, after the match, on the show “Footbal Club”, from Digi Sport.
I don't know, we keep on believing that there are miracles in medicine, but there is no such thing! Finally… (wasn't he wrong to go to Marijana Kovacevic?) I don't know, I don't want to get into polemics, but I haven't yet seen “healers” put you back on your feet overnight. It is a very important loss.
– Gică Craioveanu, about the “healer” Marijana
For Tănase, Monday's injury is not the first in the last month. At the end of January, Florin Tănase suffered a muscle tear and urgently went to the “doctor” Marijana Kovacevic, in Belgrade. He got him back on his feet, came back, played three more games and “broke” again.
Another visit to Belgrade followed, but this time it was not a good choice either, the leg giving way again on Monday evening.
