“Half wages! Everything must be changed from the ground up!”

Becali promised again that it is the last day he talks to the press, as he did last week, when it was confirmed that FCSB would play in the play-out. But he wanted to go live to have his say, talking about the need to rebuild the team “from the ground up”.

Gigi Becali, Iureș after FCSB – U Cluj: “The whole team must be changed from the ground up!”

“Good evening, let's say it's the last day, that we don't talk anymore. I don't talk anymore in the play-out, but I say it's much more serious and then you have to draw some conclusions. We don't have a football team anymore, we have some players who are having fun on the field and who all want to play, not play football.

Tânas, in which I put my base, top, heels, deviations. Well, football is not played with deviations, but with manliness! The ball comes, you take it, you hold it, you put your body, you struggle.

Lixandru, passes to the opponents, I put this Ofri Arad in, he's not a footballer either. God forbid! Everything must be fundamentally changed! The whole team. I have nothing to say to Bîrligea. He didn't have. He struggled, but you have no one to go with.

How can you care so much, fool? Does that matter? (no – after seeing Lixandru's mistake from one of the opponent's goals). It happens that you care about the opponent, but not that lightness!

We need a central defender and two midfielders. I don't need Lixandru or Ofri Arad or anyone. Neither by Thiam, nor by Tănase. This team, if it's not Olaru, set the tone, we're in trouble.

We ended up a team of two lei. We don't play anything, we don't defend, we don't combine, we don't attack. Nothing, nothing, nothing, cabbage in all compartments!

Gigi Becali: “I'm thinking about relegation now!”

“Now I'm thinking about downgrading! I was laughing at Mihai Rotaru, that the first objective is to avoid relegation. We were actually doing the math to see how we stood with the points compared to the fourth from the tail. I swear I was watching. Well if we got like this… players who took money, hundreds and hundreds of thousands. Look, Tănase, he took a million euros. The ball comes to him and he tops it outside, he deflects it.

Shouldn't you have shot on goal for a half? Junk! They play soccer like they're in training. There is no name, a game path, anything. Heels, spikes, deflections. I didn't imagine we could get to this point.

Let's see what we do with them, let's get rid of them. They don't want to play football anymore, they want to play football. They make a mess on the field!

• Asked what will happen to Florin Tănasewhose contract will expire in the summer, Becali did not offer a concrete answer:

“Let's see. If not, let's go father, what's the matter? If you play football from the deflections, from the top of the boot deflections? Let's see what we're going to play, let's see these matches 9.

But what I saw today… Radunovic is no longer passionate about football. Go away, me! We need to get full backs, two midfielders, central defender. Left-right, extremes, neither Miculescu…

They may have worn out. That's how human, Romanian nature can be. What do we know to do in Romania… Many matches have been played and that's all they can do, their energy and gas have run out. We will take others with petrol”, he added”.

Goodbye Ofri Arad already?

Becali was also convinced about Ofri Arad, the midfielder brought by the couple Mihai Stoica – Florin Cernat:

“He's a midfielder and I expected him to play football at 1-3. If you at 1-3 give the ball behind, to the central defender… I see him, he's not [fotbalist]. I'm sorry to leave that one out, Joao Paulo, but you know why? To see Ofri Arad. He didn't play badly, Joao Paulo, but he's also scared, he's playing behind. We need 6-7 players, we have nothing to do”.

Becali is considering dismissing Charalambous and Pintilii

The landowner is so angry that he admits he is thinking of replacing the coaches, or at least cutting their salaries in half!

“Now yes. So far I've said I make the changes, I make the team, I do this. But they've gone to battle. If you're not able to motivate… It's not right. I– I said to MM: “Look, what's the matter. We have to take some action. That means halving salaries». So, in principle, it's not about money.

Let's see what they say. It's clear that we can't go like this! I can't say now. I have some discussions, but I haven't made the decision 100%. Let's see. Until now I didn't think [la demiterea antrenorilor]but now I take into accountbecause I'm afraid we don't win the 7-8 places”, said Becali.

When I was telling MM de Macalou… Macalou is a footballer! Okay, I don't need Macalou now, but I want to say. We need players to make the difference.

I take value players, 5-6 players. I give 5-6 million euros and that's it. Well, I can't, we're making fun of ourselves. I don't want to make fun of ourselves. I never did, and I do now, in my old age?
