Gigi Becali (67 years old) made a brief description to Mamadou Thiam (30, striker), the last transfer of FCSB.
Mamadou Thiam did not start debuting for FCSB, but Becali's first statements about him have already come. The employer highlighted the main qualities of the footballer: technique and force.
He said he would only play the tip of attack, not on the left, as he did at the former team. He wants the striker not to run back to be fresh in front of the gate.
Gigi Becali, about Mamadou Thiam: “I wanted it for a long time. It will integrate immediately”
“Thiam I wanted for a long time. It will integrate immediately, we put him an attacker, not to the left to run. Stay there and spin, you can't take it, you say it's a tank. He'll play with Argeș. We rest on Bîrliga. We don't even have room on the list, where to bring?
As a proof, we had no central defenders, we did. We have 5 midfielders, you have nothing to do with them. We no longer play in the championship with two. Only with one, for what to play with two? If Chiricheș returns, I play with two.

He was last year and decar and everything. Now he walks there, he sees the ball, wait to go to the other side, he does what Stefanescu was doing ”, said Gigi Becali, at the palace on Alexandru Aleea.
I don't rest with FC Argeș. Are not resting?! Apart from those who did not play, there are three who were changed at the break, right?! Three did not play, three were changed at the break, another 3-4 were reserves. Here's the team!
There came one that I expressly taken for this, Thiam. It will definitely start with FC Argeș. We do not need Bîrligea in Bucharest. He will play Ngezana, Baba, Chiricheș, Tanase. They played a half.
