Hai Romania

Xenophobia


Some of Becali's remarks have been considered xenophobic; for
instance, in May 2008, the National Audovisual Council fined the OTV
channel for allowing Becali's "aggressive and xenophobic speech", which
"instigated to hate against the Hungarian minority in Romania" to go on
live, without any intervention from Dan Diaconescu, the talk show host.^[32] He also believes in a conspiracy of the "Hungarian Freemasons", claiming that it is them who are financing Steaua's adversary, CFR Cluj.^[33]
In November 2001, Becali and his bodyguards insulted and physically
abused Malonga Parfait, the host of a satirical football TV Show,
"Fotbal la Maxx". Becali called Parfait a "monkey" allegedly because
the latter is of African origin.^[34]
There have been numerous controversies with the violent declarations
linked with the Steaua football team, including the use of slurs
against the Roma and other minorities by fans and employees of Becali. He also sang in April 2005 a manea which included a racial slur against the Roma. ^[35]

Antisemitism


Becali has also made some antisemitic statements, like calling George Copos a 'jidan', which in Romanian is a negative name given to the Jews. Iuliu Muresan, the chairman of Romanian football club CFR Cluj has also accused Becali of antisemitism.^[36]

Violence


In February 2002, Becali cursed and threatened Cristian Tudor Popescu, a well-known journalist, in a café, after the latter had written the article "O statuie pentru Puiu Paşcu" ("A Statue for Puiu Paşcu" - a former Minister of Defense in the Social Democratic Party cabinet of Adrian Năstase) in Adevărul
about the controversial land swap with the Army and the assault on
Malonga Parfait. Becali told Popescu that he should have been shot and
that the journalists destroyed Romania.^[37]
In 2005, Becali provoked controversy by using extremely vulgar
language in an interview, insulting the reporter and the channel he
worked for (Antena 1).
In July 2005, in a restaurant, Becali cursed, spat and spilled a glass of wine on Şerban Huidu, the creator of the satirical TV show "Cronica Cârcotaşilor". Becali got the nickname "Ioan Botezătorul" (John the Baptist) after this incident.^[38]
Following a match of FC Steaua in April 2006, his bodyguards used violence against a female reporter of Realitatea TV after Becali asked them to "take her away from that place".^[39]
He currently is one of the favorite subjects of the Romanian
media, due to his frequent slips of the tongue and inflammatory
remarks. For example, in July 2005, a reporter called Becali to ask him
some questions related to the Steaua football club. Becali used this opportunity to unleash a flurry of curses addressed to Antena 1 and Dan Voiculescu. He himself said in the dialogue that "he is not a civilized man".
In 2008, he admitted that when he lost money in a casino, he lost
his temper and began throwing chairs toward the windows, breaking them.^[40]

Various


In September 2007, Becali sparked controversy when he insulted
parliamentarian Lavinia Sandru, stating that she should "go and become
a candidate for the beltway, not for the European Parliament", a veiled
reference to prostitution.^[41]
He has also remarked that a woman "has no more value" after she has
given birth to a child. This led to a group of twenty-six women
reporting Becali to the National Council for Combating Discrimination for contravening Romania's anti-discrimination laws. On October 6,
the Council ruled that Becali's comments were discriminatory towards
women and "affected the dignity of women", Becali being fined 500 lei.^[42]
Becali has also been sued various times, mostly over slander, by the football coach Anghel Iordănescu, politician Radu Berceanu and a Divizia A referee, Cristian Balaj.
On April 2, 2009 George Becali was arrested over illegally holding 3
people against their will, because he suspected they were involved in
stealing his car. He was arrested for 29 days, but he got out of jail
after 15 days. Four other people, his bodyguards, Cătalin Zmarandescu,
Ştefan Dediu, Nicolae Dumitraşcu and Dumitru Beciual, who were also
involved in the incident, were issued arrest warrants as well.
George Becali is a favorite character on Romanian televisions,
currently receiving tens of minutes in primetime every evening, both in
primary news and sport news. His rise in media attention is somehow
artificial, due to race-for-rating policy in most of the Romanian
mass-media and appetite for scandals in some part of the population.

Force? Faiblesse? Niveau de l'équipe?

Si je te cite les joueurs, tu connaitras personne.

Le gardien, c'est Pantilimon, un géant très bon, la défense est solide, le milieu est expérimenté avec Alexa, Badoi, les frères Karamyan, et en attaque, y'a le lutin Bucur (qui a joué contre la France) et Winston Parks notamment.

Un bon collectif, des joueurs habitués à jouer ensemble (rare en Roumanie), ca tourne vraiment bien.
