FCSB boss Gigi Becali (67) has said he does not want to give up Siyabonga Ngezana (28), despite the fact that the South African defender refuses to have surgeryalthough he was threatened by Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the club's Board of Directors, that he would not play another minute if he did not change his decision.
However, the financier of the champion of the last two editions blamed Ngezana for playing injured in the draw with Rapid, score 2-2, obtained by the Giulești in the final moments.
Gigi Becali does not want to give up Siyabonga Ngezana: “He is a valuable player, how to part with him?”
“How can he not stay? Let him take the money, let him go to Africa there, let me also take 4-5 hundred thousand (no. of euros). He doesn't want to have an operation? In the end he will have an operation. Ngezana is a footballer. We didn't know, he was playing injured, me, the crazy one. And because of him I ended up in this situation.
With Rapid, for example, we were 2-0 in the 87th minute, it became 2-2. And because of him I got the goals I got and I ate the beats I ate. But he was playing injured, I don't know. We had no central defenders. And that's it. All in all, what's done is done. He is a valuable player, how can you part with him?”, said Gigi Becali, according to fanatik.ro.
After being an integral player in the draw with Fenerbahce in the last stage of the Europa League group, score 1-1, Siyabonga Ngezana was only an unused reserve in the victories in the Superliga, 1-0 with Csikszereda and 2-1 with FC Botoșani.
Subsequently, in the other 5 matches played by FCSB since then, Ngezana was left out of the squad, having a meniscus problem, which can only be solved by surgery.
