The patience of Gigi Becali (67 years old) has come to an end! He had been announcing since last nightafter the embarrassing failure with CFR Clujthat he will go to the Berceni training base to talk with the players. Said and done, because on Monday around noon he arrived at Elias Charalambous' training session.
FCSB is going from bad to worse and the team boss does not accept that the team is collapsing right before his eyes. Desperate and without solutions, almost eliminated from the Europa League and in 11th place in the Superliga, still far from a play-off place, Becali didn't wait any longer and showed up at the Berceni base on Monday.
His decision is clearly a desperate one, as he hasn't done anything like this in four years.
Gigi Becali went to talk to the players
The boss of the current champion put the players in a meeting more than 12 hours away from the failure without the right of appeal against those from CFR Cluj, according to iamsport.ro.
GSP.ro sources confirm that Becali made a surprise visit to the players, to talk to them and understand exactly what is happening at the team, with the idea of rectifying the situation before it is too late.
Becali's decision could be surprising, since possibly many considered that he only threatened last night to go to the players, especially since there was a precedent in this sense, last fall, after the draw with Csikszereda, score 1-1. But then the financier did not keep his promise.
What Gigi Becali said on Sunday evening
Becali has been announcing this visit to the team's training base since Sunday.
I'm going to go to them myself, because I haven't been in four years. “I want to know, too, do I owe you something?” I'll take them one at a time. “Dude Bîrligea, what is your contract? Do I have any more leu to give you?”. I will also tell Miculescu, that he is a decent boy, but even with these decent ones, he is debauched.
Well, but I also want to know, do I have any debt? If you are changed, does it say in your contract that you are not allowed to be changed? Isn't that how football rules?
– Gigi Becali, FCSB patron
