Becali pay cut for failure against CSKA 23.08.2011

Steaua Bucharest owner Gigi Becali seriously threatened his players that he would "go hungry" if you do not qualify for the group stage of UEFA Cup. The businessman said the strong performance of the European scene is simply mandatory for his team, in which failure will not receive any bonuses.

At the beginning of the season Becali pledged € 10,000 to the cap to enter the phase of grupovafa League. On Sunday, Steaua records first loss of the season, giving a 1:2 Astra, while new loss on Thursday in Sofia players can not even get their salaries. "We will participate in groups, not her money," Becali erupted.

These problems are not something new for Steaua. Prosport.ro recalls that footballers are not receiving regular salaries even when their team plays in the Champions League. On the issue recall that last season the club also had similar problems. Steaua won the Cup of Romania and contract players would receive $ 10,000. Ultimately, however Becali reconsidered and pay them half as much.

From Prosport.ro also revealed that former coach Cosmin Olaroiu team was something like a personal sponsor of the players. When Becali decide not to pay the team coach and stir of his own pocket money given to players, just the mood of the team is good.
