Statements by Gigi Becali after FCSB – FC Botoșani: “Are you all crazy? Leave women to women, men to men”

“Guys, what does red mean? This means that the ball is controlled. Where was the ball control? Because he was at Nana’s, only he lit the candle. He touched the ball. How did he control?

When it comes to Bekali, no one has more sophisticated refereeing intelligence, not even Avram, who is a smart boy. But when it comes to me, he’s wrong too. He, the poor referee, judged well. But a woman comes and says red. Well, if you put a woman…

Hey, are you out of your mind? Are you all out of your mind? Leave, I, women to women, men to men. That’s what games are. Men’s wrestling is decided by men, dammit. Are you all out of your mind?!

God has done justice, she does not realize that she should interfere in her husband’s affairs.

So did he lead or not? By the time the ball dropped, Dava and Ngezana were there. How did he control the ball from afar, from the air?”, announced at that time by the financier of the FCSB.
