Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of the FCSBwent live on TV and talked at length about the collaboration he will have with Mirel Rădoi (44 years old). The financier assures that he will NOT interfere with the new technician of the red-blues.
According to Becali, Rădoi intends to use a 4-4-2 system.
The “Rădoi era” begins at FCSB! The technician comes into his own and prepares some impactful changes in the first “11”.
Little one and Thiam will be moved from the attacking lanes, the U21 goalkeeper Matei Popa will remain, and the new A1 considers Romania's tie with Turkey extremely important, one in which there could also be a few FCSB players on the field.
Becali claims that these three months will be like a “trial” period for both of them. The coach should be satisfied with the collaboration, and the boss should figure out if he can resist without asking for changes on the bench. If things go well, the two sides would clap for a long-term contract.
Gigi Becali, behind-the-scenes details about the collaboration with Mirel Rădoi at FCSB: “He didn't put any conditions!”
“He sees a 4-4-2 system. I've been saying this for four or five months, I also told Mihai Stoica, I like that system. The only system I understand is 4-4-3, otherwise I don't understand another. If you now put me to play in 4-4-2, I play with four defenders, four midfielders and two forwards.
Their qualities and what midfielders in the center or in the lanes must have I do not understand well. After will change to 4-3-3, 4-3-1-2. He sees it with David Miculescu as an attacker or with Thiam, but he asked me what Thiam played last night with U Cluj. I told him that in the gang. He told me it was wrong. He also told me that Thiam is only a striker.
I told him I wanted to know how he sees things. He knows this team. I asked him how he would see, the others would help him. He said to me: “Well, godfather, I'm also coming in the context where I can help the national team”. I told him I wasn't interested. He told me that there are six players there who can be called up, we have the tie with Turkey.
He told me that he was interested in the dam with Turkey. I only talked on the phone and he said he would come and help me for two and a half, three months. He said there was no point in discussing money, because he didn't want any money. Help is not about money, it comes to help me.
He comes and trains. Training starts on Tuesday. From tonight he asked for “their tricks”, the electronic ones. What conditions did he set? He did not set any conditions. He knows not… just him.
That's why I said let's see these three months, let's see how he adjusts. That's what he told me. I realized that a turning point was needed, a new era. It no longer works with hei-rup and by instinct, because if you want to go to the Conference, it doesn't work like that anymore.
If you want the Champions League, stop going by instinct and let's see one from Galati or UTA (player) and we'll see. We need something else”, explained Becali, at “Digi Sport Special”.
Free hand for Rădoi at FCSB: “Meme has already done the office. Adrian Ilie is coming too”
Becali claims that the two parties will sign an even longer contract from the summer, if the collaboration goes very well:
“Meme has already made the office. He is putting monitors there. There will be four or five people he will monitor. He has already agreed with Meme. Adrian Ilie will also be there and they will get along, they will do everything. The man comes to help me for three months, I don't make him a laughing stock. I don't want to argue with anyone anymore.
I also spoke with Pițurcă a week ago. We think about things in the long term. This is just a help. I have to see the team play, because to qualify in the Conference is not a big weight.
You can't do it any other way with Mirel, there's no way. Yes, that's what I told him: “Well, honey, we're staying for three months, we're going to eat, yes or no.” I no longer argue with my boyfriend, with anyone. But then with my son?”, added Becali.
We are human. If we don't forget and forgive… if we didn't forget, we would remember all the evils and hurts. Man forgets and gets over the upset. If we did not forgive, then we would no longer have joy in our souls.
He didn't tell me that he wanted to bring George Popescu back to the forefront. Either goalkeeper or U21 defender, I said. He said it makes sense. This child (Matei Popa) was not wrong. He's probably going to make mistakes, but if he's done a good job so far, doesn't it make sense to have that advantage?
We have lots. I am interested in the game and the discipline.– Gigi Becalithe patron of FCSB
