Astra Giurgiu’s former coach confessed, in a recent interview on Viorel Grigoroiu’s podcast, that the incident deeply affected him, especially in terms of public perception.
“I think I did very well what I did! Honestly, I did well not to fight back! And I congratulate myself for that! The impact of the event was very high. There were opinions and opinions, the stupid ones: you had to give, you had to kill her! Others said they did well! A lot of discussion, and normal after what happened!”, said Dan Alexa, in the podcast moderated by Viorel Grigoroiu.
Although many voices speculated that the reason for the punch given by the impresario would have been a fit of jealousy, both Alexa and Prodan vehemently denied these claims. However, the topic continued to spark numerous discussions in the public space.
Anamaria Prodan also returned to the attention of the media, with new statements about this episode. The impresora wanted to emphasize the fact that she does not tolerate being labeled as a “mistress” and harshly criticized the attitude of some journalists.
“Take an example from Dan Alexa, learn because you have little girls, boys at home and you have to give them an education. If these journalists endlessly repeat a story in which I showed understanding and kept my mouth shut because I could sue them all until we take their souls from them. You can’t film inside a house, not a public space, the journalists had nothing to look for. In our country, everything is a guess, we got here because of these news, because of these evils. If I hear about the mistress, the lover, it will be bad”, said Anamaria Prodan, for Click.
At the same time, Prodan also sent a message to Dan Alexa, praising him for his reaction and the education he received.
“Make a monument to be called Dan Alexa, the monument to education and common sense. I know Dan Alexa and this incident, if it happened again with 100 more women, he would never raise his hand to back down. That’s the education his mother gave him. Those who came out after this incident came out and rejoiced, these are uneducated illegal brain carriers. Take Dan Alexa’s example, I thank him from the bottom of my heart for what happened at that moment and how he reacted“, said Anamaria Prodan.
The scandal between Anamaria Prodan and Dan Alexa remains one of the most publicized events in Romanian sports.
