Although Gigi Becali, the owner of the Romanian champion, FCSBpromised that he would no longer go live, he could not help himself and intervened, this evening, addressing several topics related to his team.
FCSB will face Metaloglobus, on Sunday, from 20:30, a match that marks Mirel Rădoi's debut with the team, 10 years after he previously led the “red-blue” team.
Gig Becali hesitated to talk about Mirel's tactics at FCSB: “I'm not a specialist”
Asked how the champion will approach Sunday's game, Becali said:
“I don't know how, I have no idea, I don't know, if I don't know, I'm not a specialist. What I was doing… I was doing it out of instinct. I haven't even spoken to Mirel, what he does is his problem, he has no business, it doesn't even cross my mind that Mirel won't see it through. He said: 'Godfather, keep calm, we'll take it out, after we'll see'. He said he can't. If the man comes to help you, what else can you tell him?
I said what he told me then, since then I haven't spoken. When I asked him how he sees it, he said 4-4-2. Then I said: 'Groom, do as you wish, father!'. Now some are upset that he says 'godfather'.
I have no emotion with Metaloglobus, I know this team. If we won against CFR when it should have been 6-0 at halftime and Arges, we were 3 points behind Craiova. So we lost points with the small teams. It's worth it, Mirel said he's taking the team out, but he's not staying any longer,” Becali began in the “Footbal Club” show on Digi Sport.

About the possible departure of the technician in the summer, Becali said:
“And I hope it will stay, I think so, it will stay. Why can't they get to a million here? Even more is possible with the Champions League. He said that during this 2-3 months he will get everything he can out of this team and make a strong team so that we have the first chance in the play-off matches.”
The FCSB boss named the team he does NOT want in the playoffs: “Rapid!”
The red-blue boss predicts a “quarter” in the Conference League:
“I don't want to brag anymore, I like to brag, but what can I do. I have nothing to do now. Yes, wait and see that it is possible, in a few months, to watch and comment on how we play in who knows what quarters through the conferences, and with the other teams to have fun on the shows. Us through the conference, them through the cold.
In the tie, I would like Dinamo, because they don't have a stadium either and we will play on a neutral ground. I don't think it suits them to play on the Arc de Triomphe. If we go there, it's ours, and theirs, and ours. Maybe, if it is, I would even like U Cluj or maybe CFR. Only Rapid I don't want that much, because of the stadium“, said Gigi Becali for the quoted source.
