Turkey – Romania 1-0. Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of FCSB, went live after the “tricolors” missed qualification for the World Championship in the summer.
The financier of the red-blues claims that Gică Hagi (61 years old) will not play with two defenders. He referred to Vlad Dragomir (26 years old) and Răzvan Marin (29 years old).
Becali explained how much we missed Denis Drăguș (26 years old), the striker suspended due to the red card he received in Bosnia. He claims that this is Romania's best player.
Gigi Becali, statements after Turkey – Romania 1-0: “Will Hagi ever play with two defenders? Never!”
“It was nice for him to have a qualification. I think that was also the discussion. My opinion is that he doesn't need it, Lucescu is Lucescu, he doesn't need it, the lack of qualification doesn't affect him in any way, it's too big.
When you want to build a 50-story tower, but you can't make the 50th, you make it 49, it doesn't matter anymore. Already your tower is 50, not 49. He is too big for a man!
Here he was also wrong. Hagi will come now, I understand. Lucescu is not in a qualification, he also brought it here. The footballer I like the most is the son of Şumudica, Dragus. That's a footballer: strength, speed, execution. That could be the leader.
In terms of value, he is the most valuable in the Romanian team, a class footballer. When he puts his foot on the ball, it shows!
That's what my instinct tells me. When I see him receive the ball, he has confidence in him, he is in control of the ball, how he accelerates, sets his foot, executes.
I didn't dislike Drăgusin, he really did his duty. I took that goal, maybe it should have been, but it wasn't his fault. So I don't know, I liked Drăgușin. I can't say he didn't do his job, since they didn't have shots.
We could beat them 2-0, 3-0. Weak, very weak! He will rebuild Hagi with these players. Will Hagi ever play with two defenders? And with Marin, and with Dragomir?
Never in your life will you play like this! And at Viitorul, have you ever seen him with two closers? He's going to do something, I think,” said Becali, for fanatik.ro.
I don't know which locksmith Mr. Becali saw today, because I didn't see any locksmith.

Becali: “Dust! Change them at halftime”
The owner of FCSB believes that Mircea Lucescu should have changed sooner
“I wasn't talking about Mircea Lucescu, I wasn't getting involved. But now you see that Man is rubbish, Mihăilă is rubbish… Change them, me, at halftime. There's no way I can win the match like this.
Put that Baiaram in, he's a footballer, put in Tănase, put in Stanciu, 4 changes at halftime. Baiaram, Stanciu, Tănase and Miculescu, 4 changes at halftime. Ianis Hagi, no matter how weak he is, I never say that about him.
He's my godfather, I can't. Gica is very sensitive when it comes to children. I better mind my own business. Shut up, I'm not saying anything. Not because of Ianis, so as not to upset Gica. All the team dust.
You can't say of Bîrligea that he didn't play well, it's good when he scores, assists, he was a defender today. They were all quarterbacks. We met a weak Turkey team. I didn't think they were so weak”, added Gigi Becali.
