Numerous players with corona disease are absent from the Romanian football club FCSB Bucharest.
Club boss George Becali forbids players and employees to be vaccinated.
He would rather shoot himself than be vaccinated, says the controversial entrepreneur.
The tree is burning at the traditional Romanian club FCSB Bucharest – but really. Only 14 players are available for the championship game this Saturday. And the rest? It is canceled due to a corona infection. This also applies to coach Edward Iordanescu and his assistants.
Club boss George Becali is to blame for the fact that the virus can rage so unhindered at the Romanian record champions. The entrepreneur and ex-politician forbids all players and employees of FCSB Bucharest to be vaccinated.
“If I had a gun on the table next to the vaccination, I’d rather shoot myself,” “Gigi” is quoted on Twitter by the Romanian football journalist Emanuel Rosu. “There is no vaccination at the FCSB.”
“Has anyone seen a bald man play football well?”
In Romania, Becali is notorious for his controversial statements. Once he blasphemed one of his players about the short haircut. “Have you ever seen a bald footballer playing with the number 10? It is impossible! Has anyone seen a bald man play football well? ”Said the FCSB boss about Polish midfielder Rafal Grzelak.
Bacali himself was active as a politician for years and is considered ultra-conservative. The 63-year-old entrepreneur has already been sentenced to prison and suspended sentences several times. In 2006 he was voted the country’s biggest homophobe. He is also said to have radical right-wing tendencies.
