Haarlem Gnocher, the striker who hit the net in Ligue 1

In 2015, Harlem Gnoher arrived in Ligue 1 on a free transfer from Dynamo Bucharest after parting ways with RAEC Mons. The Frenchman impressed in a Dogs shirt, managing to score 24 goals and provide 8 crucial assists in 59 appearances for the Stefan cel Mare side.

In January 2017, there was a betrayal, and the “bisons” ended up in the court of a big rival for 250 thousand euros. Gnohere played for FCSB for 2 and a half years, during which time he scored important goals, especially at the European level, in matches against Hajduk (2:1) or Lazio (1:0).

In an interview with Sport.ro, Harlem Gnocher talked about the reasons why he left FCSB.

“People said I was overweight, but I didn’t understand. Now that I understand, it worries me. Regardless, I played well, people could say what they wanted. I was Romania’s top scorer when I was fat.

Mr. Bekali, despite what happened, despite what he said in the press, even if he interferes with the team, he is a man who does a lot for Steaua (FCSB). I hope he stays around for a long time, manages to get a title shot because it’s been a long time since that happened.

I liked him (Gigi Becali), the fact that he was crazy, I liked it a lot. Even if there were some strange decisions, in my opinion, this is a person I value.

I left because of Mr. Bekali, but more because of the coach who came (Bohdan Vintila). I have no problem with Mr. Bekali, even though he always criticized me.

The year I left was a difficult one for me in my relationship with the head coach. Some decisions were wrong, in my opinion.” – said “bison”.

The former FCSB striker also spoke about Nicolae Dike, who recently left the team.

“The year with Nicolae Dike, the first year with him was a wonderful time. We lost the title by a narrow margin, but the fans lived for Lazio’s victory, I scored.

That period, at least for me, was very good. The relationship I had with Dick was great. They were good players: Alibek, Budescu, Junior Moraish, Balasha, Nice. It was a great time.” Harlem Gnocher said.

115 matches, 51 goals and 6 assists – these are the statistics of Gnohere in the FCSB shirt. As part of the red and blue, the Frenchman won the Romanian Cup in 2020 and also qualified for the European Spring 2017/18 season.
