Gică Popescu showed his displeasure to his brother-in-law, his friend and his boss at Farul, Gică Hagi. The bone of contention between the two is the fact that Nicolas Popescu hardly plays at all under the command of the manager of Constanta, although he promised to take care of him.

The former defender of the national team revealed the discussion he had with Hagi before the start of the season: Gică promised him that Popescu’s boy would get more playing minutes, but this did not happen. In the program Prietenii lui Ovidiu, from gsp.ro, the former international said that he is dissatisfied with the fact that his son does not have the chance to demonstrate what he knows at the Lighthouse and that he is only used at the end of the game.
“He doesn’t play at all anymore. I spoke with Gica in the summer of this year and he told me that he will have much more space, that he will play much more. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. In the last five games… he played in four, but seven, ten minutes. Very little. He doesn’t really catch the team because he wasn’t given space. If you don’t play…
Nicolas Popescu, the apple of discord
He’s not a little talented, he’s got a lot of talent! Because when he came to Farul, Gică came and said “Well, I saw Nico playing, he’s a bomb! Bring him to Constanța!”. I brought him to Constanta. He had a problem when he got really, really big. It happens a lot with these kids”Gică Popescu declared at gsp.ro.
“I think he can easily cope with the demands of the first team without problems. Easy! Here we are not talking about nepotism. If it has value, let it play! Yes? If he has no value, let him grow up and play after that. I think he can play more. So if he played and played badly, yes, I would say: “Guys, he plays badly!”. Yeah, let’s play, I mean, fuck, play two, three, five, ten and play weak, Fuck boy, go and play somewhere else! I don’t want him to play because he’s a grandson! I want him to play because he has qualities and can help the team. And I think he can do it very well”added Gică Popescu.
