"Cobra" says that the “red & blue” do not have patience with the foreigners and he gives the reply to Ioan Becali, who had accused him for Arthuro’s transfer
The ex manager from Steaua, Adi Ilie, agreed to discus with us about the present situation of “red & blue”, but also about the declaration made by Ioan Becali. What said the sponsor’s cousin from Ghencea? "When they heard that Arthuro arrived at Steaua, my friends from Spain asked me if he was transferred with the eyes closed".
- Mr. Ilie, Ioan Becali criticized you with respect to Arthuro’s transfer. He said that...
- I know, I’ve heard what he said. That’s it, what shall I do if I am not good at players? I have done the best I could.
- Are you ironic?
- No, that’s it; I am not good at players. I have taken a lot of players this summer: Tiago, Arthuro, Kapetanos. I hat to fit a price, and I fitted. If I had money I would have taken Ronaldinho, but I hadn’t.
Two millions euro for a free player!?
- But did Giovanni propose any player as long as you were manager at Steaua?
- Yes, there have been proposed players to Steaua. Someone proposed to Gigi Becali, but I do not know who. For example, the Chilean Pinto was proposed to Gigi and it was created a big scandal at that time. I was in Italy and I heard that Steaua sent an offer of two millions for Pinto. Then I found out he was free of contract. I do not know if he was proposed by Giovanni or by Daniel Stanciu. Anyway, I had no discussion or quarrel with Giovanni with respect to any transfer.
- But...
- It was also Miranda. He was also proposed to Steaua for 1,5 millions euro. Because the transfer wasn’t done, he was transferred to Dinamo. I guess on the same price.
Were you mad about the comments made by Giovanni with respect to Arthuro?
- Why do all the people speak about only one player? Is Arthuro the weakest, the worst player from Steaua? No. With Arthuro on the ground, Steaua eliminated a very powerful team, Galatasaray, won many matches in the championship. It is true that he didn’t score too many goals, but they make big mistakes at Steaua.
"I am not guilty because Pepe and Mendoza didn’t remain at Steaua"
- What do you mean?
- There is no patience with respect to the foreigners players. You cannot bring a foreigner and expect from him to play immediately at the highest level every lap. Steaua shall follow the example from CFR and shall have patience if wants to have the best results from the foreign players! For example, Dani. Did anyone know about him when he came to Steaua? No one. He needed more than one year to become an incontestable titular and perhaps he is the best midfield from Romania.Then, Culio. Did anyone know anything about him? No one knew, and now he is a key-player, but those from Cluj had patience.
- Even Gigi Becali accused you directly that you promised to bring a forward better than Pepe and that you made a bad choice with respect to Arthuro.
- Pepe and Mendoza should have remained at Steaua after they played in the return of the last season. Why am I guilty if they were not anymore desired? When you have them in your team, you think that you want something better. When they are not anymore in your team, you realize what you have lost. At that moment, both I and Lăcătuş said that we need two valuable defenders, and not only one.
"If you want values, you have to give big wages"
- There was a rumour that you said to Becali that Pepe made 1,5 millions, but Giovanni found out later, from some south-American agents, that he made only one million dollars.
- Steaua made a written offer for Pepe in value of one million dollars, and Independiente sent to us that wants 1,4. So, where is the truth? I do not want to say more, prefer to remain with Arthuro’s transfer and with the fact that I am not good at players.
- Gigi Becali said that he will involve himself in getting new defenders from now on in order to be sure that the players will be valuable.
- Unless they give big wages, the valuable players won’t come to Romania. Who comes to win less than 500.000 euro per year? Football players like Savo Miloşevici, Tristan and Darko Kovacevici ask as wage over 500.000 euro. The players of such a value will always prefer Greece, Turkey, Russia, where they have big wages.
"Arthuro calls me often, but he never complains about Gigi’s declarations. I think he can become a very important player for Steaua, but with one condition: not to be blasted after every match in which he plaays"
Adrian Ilie
"You may even bring Kluivert to Steaua and not to adapt immediately. What does this mean, that he is not a valuable player? If you do not have patience with the foreigners, then they won’t give results"

Steaua has 11 foreigners in the lot at the moment, an absolute record in the history of over 61 years of the club from Ghencea
5 foreigner players from Steaua, Zapata, Semedo, Abel Moreno, Kapetanos and Arthuro, were criticized in public by Gigi Becali
