Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, declared that he is no longer interested in Joao Lameira, the midfielder from Oțelul. The Latifundiar watched the match between Galatasaray and Rapid, score 0-2, especially for the Portuguese.
The boss from FCSB explained what he didn't like about Lameira. Gigi Becali has stated that he wants a midfielder who goes up with the ball at his feet, which the Steel player does not do.
Becali reported that he is in negotiations for a midfielder from Portugal, without mentioning his name. Filipe Soares, from Nacional, would be one of the players in the sights of the red-blues, according to GSP information.
Gigi Becali: “I watched the match with Rapid for Lameira, but I don't like it”
“There was this Lameira in my sights. To be honest, I didn't know him, MM told me, Şumudica told me. I watched the match with Rapid and I don't like it. He's accurate, he doesn't lose the ball and passes well. He doesn't have progression. I want a midfielder who progresses with the ball at his feet, a kind of Malcom, but who doesn't lose the ball, doesn't get tangled up in it.
I want a midfielder who, when he has the ball at his foot in the center of the pitch and is free in front, can go up 15-20 meters with the ball at his foot. As Chiricheș did. We have from Portugal, we are negotiating with a player from Portugal. I like a player like Edjouma, but who wins duels, who can dispossess.
I like Malcom there, but he's too lazy. He would be a good midfielder if he didn't have indolence in his movements. I want a midfielder who can progress with the ball at his feet. I used to like Lixandru, because he made progress, but now I don't like him anymore, because he doesn't do it anymore. I liked Shot, for example. He's started to recover, but he's about 60-70% of what he was.
I believe in qualification and I need 5 players with whom I can win the championship, have doubles. I don't make a budget, I also give 2 and 3 million for a good midfielder. I need a striker, two midfielders. Dawa is coming to the central defenders, we took Duarte, you can also play with Lixandru. We still need a left defender”, said Gigi Becali, on “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.
