Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of FCSB, intervened live after his team won on Monday evening, at home, score 4-1, with Metaloglobus, in round #28 of the Superliga. Following this result, the champion remains alive and continues to hope for a miracle at the end of the regular season.

After tonight's success, FCSB reaches 43 points in the ranking and comes “on the brink” of the play-off, in 7th place, three away from FC Argeș, with two rounds left to play in the regular season. It's “in the cards” but it's not up to her to make the play-offs.

After the match, Gigi Becali made the calculations for the play-offs and said how he would like to finish the matches that would keep FCSB alive on the way to the top 6.

The reaction of Gigi Becali, after the victory with Metaloglobus

“This match didn't mean anything to me, we faced a team that was too accessible, we have to win, let's see. I hope, because they play for the first time, I hope for three options: the last match to play with options: to take out either U Cluj, or CFR, or FC Argeș.

They may or may not happen, after this match, if Argeș beats Dinamo, then we have no more options. I hope we have all of them, that Farul will be equal with CFR, that Dinamo will be equal with Argeș, that U Cluj will also be equal. If we beat them in the last stage, we play a decisive match at the National Arena, that would be normal.

Let's see, let's educate the goalkeeper to take a beating, we don't know how to educate them, what, is it idiotic to leave the team in 10? All the teams do that, let Mirel Rădoi say it, but Rădoi teaches them. There is no goalkeeper who sees that he has no teammate on the field and does not make a trick like this, what, is it forbidden in the rules? To extend the match as long as he wants.

I said for the first time, I always contradicted MM, I said that Botoșani should come out, let's get rid of her, I said that I want to get rid of one, to see the 7. It's easier to have a 0-0 tie between Oțelul Galați – U Cluj, from there CFR gets confused twice.

Let Dinamo beat FC Argeș, that's normal, we're talking about possibilities, these are solutions. After that, whether they draw or lose, or remain with 46, Dinamo beats them and maybe then Slobozia beats them. We only need one point, we and U Cluj are also playing.

There is another solution, for Farul to beat CFR Cluj, that's better, because I trust Dinamo, that they play football. I think that in the last match we will play against a Cluj for three options, then we remove one of them.

That's what I said, us 4th place, U Cluj 5th place, and 6th place, whatever it is, CFR or Argeș, I still hope for 4th place, God willing, if God wants, Argeș will also eat two beats.“, said Gigi Becali, after the match, on the show “Footbal Club”, from Digi Sport, after Monday night's success.

Full calculations for FCSB to catch the play-off

At least one of the following 3 scenarios to happen, if FCSB win their last two matches.

  • FC Argeș to get a maximum of two points from the remaining matches, away with Dinamo, at home with Unirea Slobozia. With 3 points, they would reach 49, the maximum possible for FCSB, and in the event of a tie, the first tie-breaker criterion would come into play, the results from the direct games, where Pitesti have an advantage after 2-0 in the round and 1-0 in the return leg;

  • CFR Cluj to get a maximum of one point from the remaining games, with Farul away and Dinamo at home. With two points, the team from Gruia would also reach 49, a scenario in which they would overtake FCSB in the direct results (2-2 in the round, 4-1 in the return leg);

  • U Cluj, assuming that they would lose to FCSB in the last stage, to get a maximum of one point at home, with Oțelul.

Without at least one of these conditions being fulfilled, FCSB would not catch the play-off even if they won the two remaining matches.
