The Italian football team Pisa promoted in series A after an absence of 34 years with the former great striker Pippo Inzaghi coach and three Romanians in the lot: international Marius Marin, Olimpiu Moruțan and Adrian Rus.
Mircea Lucescu left traces in series A
The Italian press was asked by the team of the Romanian national team, Mircea Lucescu, the one who in the 1990-1991 season trained Pisa. “When Ceausescu fell I was in Italy, with anconetans“, He started” Il Luce “the disclosures for the online edition of the publication” La Gazzetta Dello Sport “.
The technician resumes the moment when he left Dinamo: “Anconetani set me to hire me when I train Dinamo Bucharest. A great team, I played on a par with Vialli and Mancini’s Sampdoria, in the Cup Cup.
As long as Ceausescu was in Romania, Steaua Triumfa always. When he fell, I won the championship and the cup. Do you know where I was when the diet crashed?
In Cagliari, the guests of Anconetani. Italy played a friendly against Argentina. Corioni was looking for me, he had come to meet me in Bucharest, but Anconetani immediately entered my heart, convinced me. In Romania at that time there were no contracts, I signed the first for Pisa”.
“I invented the analysis of the matches”
The Romanian stayed only a season in Pisa, but has fresh memories. “I still remember the faces of all the boys: Simeone, who had just arrived from Argentina, Chamot, Piovanelli … The city conquered me immediately, was ideal: small, full of passion. We did not have their own land to train, we often had to use the one at the military base and it was difficult. But I started excellent. I played a football not too Italian, beautiful, offensive. One thing that amazed me were the fans in front of the gates of the stadium: “Sir, I recommend, we should not lose today”.
Anconetani sold practically one a month: Piovanelli La Juve, Padovano in Naples, Neri La Lazio … After a defeat in Cagliari, and I left with much regret: the team could be saved. But anconetans were so, emotionally for good and bad, made instinctual decisions”.
The technician says he congratulated he brought two objects with him. “At Pisa I am proud of two purchases: a video camera and a videorrder. I invented the matches analysis. At that time, in Italy, everything was based on observers who were walking and their notes. Today, each team has at least 6-7 match analysts, but we created those principles at that time. I was pioneers”.
He recommends in series A “Olaru de la Steaua”
Lucescu says he was about to sign with Porto and Standard Liège, after the less successful adventure from Pisa: “I was about to sign with both. Then Corioni turned and convinced me to go to Brescia”.
Asked who recommends in Serie A, the 79 -year -old coach of the Romanian national scored: “Olaru, midfielder at Steaua București. One that can do anything, strong physical, mental and technical. You know, I like when a Romanian signs in series A because it reminds me of why we were doing chorioni …“Olaru is on the List of the Genoa band. Castance, could not help the FCSB in the second part of the season.
It should be mentioned that Mircea Lucescu is still calling Steaua on FCSB Steaua, although he has scandalized on this topic, considering that he holds an official function at FRF.
