Adrian Porumboiu spoke at “Prietenii lui Ovidiu” about the poker games in the world of football and recalled an anecdote with George Copos and Ion Țiriac.
The former owner of FC Vaslui explained why he avoids commenting on the subject of Gigi Becali.
Adrian Porumboiu, revelations from poker games between patrons
– Mr. Porumboiu, have you played poker at high stakes?
– What does high stakes mean?
– Gheorghe Ștefan said that a Mercedes too.
– Eh, why? From the one that Copos won in Țiriac, a Mercedes that was actually a Trabant? They played tennis, you know, right?
– I don't know the story.
– They played tennis Țiriac with Copos on a car. And they didn't say which car.
George Copos
– Copos lost, of course, right?
– Copos lost, of course, and gave him the car, he gave him a Trabant that didn't work anymore. And Pinalti with cars. He was indeed playing, but not like this. You know people at… at poker. I caught one with six cards at poker. And another I caught with seven cards. They are public people, important people.
– Tight people.
– I was going for fun, for Catherine.
– Socialize more.
– I was not a quick player to say: “Mom, I'm going to play, I'm crazy.”
Adrian Porumboiu: “What to talk about Gigi Becali? I'm not interested!”
– Tell me about Gigi Becali. Is he doing well at FCSB?
– Don't make me talk about Gigi Becali. What harm have I done to you? Wait a minute!
– I ask your opinion about Gigi Becali. You don't want, don't answer, it's not…
– I told you three minutes earlier something about Gigi Becali, you didn't understand, be healthy. What to talk about Gigi Becali? It's okay… Everyone is what they do, what they do. Let him be healthy, what he does, I don't care. It's a topic… why should I bring it up? Does anyone ask Becali what Porumboiu is doing? Not.
– But do you have relationships or not?
– A relationship that…
Gigi Becali
– He was also one of the poker players.
– Yes, please. You didn't understand what I said earlier, but I'm getting over this. You could have asked another person what he is doing, not Gigi Becali.
– Who would you like me to ask you?
– Well, your friend.
– Who is that?
– Well, if you don't know, have you forgotten your friends?
– Crăciunescu.
– Well, isn't he a friend?
– Crăciunescu is doing well, he retired to Vâlcea.
– Yes, right, right, right.
– Are you talking to him? You were sometimes quarreling, sometimes friends, sometimes lovers, sometimes quarreling again.
– One of us cares more about the friendship relationship and behaves as such.
– Qui s'aime se taquine, as the French say.
– Yes, yes, yes.
