CFR Cluj’s victory against Craiova University led Panagiotis Tachtsidis, the 33-year-old Greek midfielder of Cluj to launch an attack on Adrian Mutu, his former coach.
“I see that there is a lot of talk about me. I don’t know who says bad things about me and I don’t care because I know how it is in football. My quality has been seen on the field, I know that I am one of the best players in the championship. No I give explanations to those who criticized me after that red card. I know I made a big mistake.
I don’t know what this guy (no. Adrian Mutu) said about me. I don’t even care because it left us in a very difficult time for us after that 0-4. He left the team and left. For me it has no character! He wanted to save himself, said the Greek.
Adrian Mutu, the former coach of CFR Cluj, did not think long and charged Tachtsidis for these statements.
“It didn’t bother me what he said, it bothered me that he didn’t say my name, he said «this guy» (no – this guy, in English). I have as many goals as he has in Italy. I remember how he did when I came, “Il Fenomeno!”
He has a very chaotic extra-sports life. It’s also the club’s fault, which knew very well what he was doing. I talked to the people at the club and told them that it was a lack of respect on their part towards me. Let’s just let a statement like that go. I’m a legend, I did something too. I am the national team’s all-time top scorer, along with Gică Hagi. And you, club, to allow him?
It’s their fault, the club’s, for covering it up. I know what he did off the field, I’m ashamed to say. And they know very well what he does. I talked to Neluțu and he doesn’t know what he is talking about.
There are some things I would be ashamed to talk about. He has talent, but no brains. He is not focused on football. He also has problems with his wife, he is divorcing. He feels that he is on the last hundred and will not continue. He won’t stay in Romania anymore”, Mutu declared, at Prima Sport.
