Vlad Chiricheș got into the disgrace of Gigi Becali, the boss of FCSB, and even Mirel Rădoi got into a long-distance dispute with the boss because of him. After the match in Constanța, Gigi Becali had a speech in which he said that he thanked God that Vlad Chiricheș was injured.
Vlad Chiricheș replied to Gigi Becali: “I'm not even thinking about retiring”
“What can I say? I tried to avoid thinking about what he said. It's clearly not a nice thing for a player. There's no gratitude in football. It's just the next game. If you're good, everyone's happy, if you're not, goodbye.
That's part of my past, I played at a very good level, but that doesn't matter now. I'm not even thinking about retirement. I have always said that I want to feel good, to train with pleasure. I still have passion, I enjoy football.
It's hard for me to retire just because the team boss says I can't anymore. A man who is not in training with me every day cannot say. He can fire me, he's the boss of the team. Apart from that…I enjoy the trainings, the games. As long as Mirel was there, you could see that I was in the team and I'm happy about that. how much was it Let's see… I read the news too.
After such a match to come with a statement of this kind, it is clear that there is nothing left to change”, Vlad Chiricheș said.
We failed to be dangerous in the first half. I played against the wind a bit, it was weird. I also got that lucky goal. It clearly didn't agree with us. The first half we did not rise to our best level. Mister sent us to raise the level and we managed to have a better second half. I think the team is ready, we have valuable players. This year we didn't show it in the regular season, but the team has a very good potential and we can fight with any team on equal footing. I felt something in my quadriceps, that's why I went out. Now let's see. I hope that there is nothing problematic about David Miculescu and that he will be fit for the next match. Now he knows more.

What Gigi Becali said about Vlad Chiricheș after the Lighthouse – FCSB 2-3
“Did I get rid of him, after all?! (laughs…) I don't know, I have no idea. Let me ask MM. Maybe God got rid of him. Not a serious injury, just to get rid of him”
