Ioan Ovidiu Sabău (57 years old) is the coach who qualified the University of Cluj in the European Cups, the Transylvanian formation to evolve in the preliminaries of Conference League.
The band from Cluj has a victory (2-1 with Amstetten) and three failures (1-3 with Sigma Olomouc, 2-5 with Slavia Prague and 1-4 with Liberec) in the preparatory training matches.
More in shape than the team is presented by its technician. The nickname “Moțul” (1.76 meters high and 73 Kilgrams) boasts a smaller weight than during the period of active player and evolved for the national team at the 1990 World Cup.
Sabău is kept in power with a lot of sports and ideal food, as evidenced by the disclosure made to journalists from Gazeta Sporturi.
“In weight, I am weaker than when I was a player. My wife took care of me as a diet, educated me, helped me eat what is healthy, she told me how to feed myself.
Plus I make an effort, I run. Not even daily, but 3-4 days a week. I run at least 10 kilometers with his wife, somewhere at 50-55 minutes. We run and we are very careful about what we eat. From the diet, from there everything leaves. I run every week about 40-45 kilometers, sometimes and 50. I do it at a rate at which I feel good. If you play sports you are another person!
That gives me a balance. At that time I run, there are times when I calm down, I meditate. I also have some dogs I adopted, we run with them and it’s a very good condition. I also moved somewhere in the country. We have such a beautiful nature around Cluj!“Said Sabău for the mentioned source.
A life without flesh and sweets
Sabău removed the meat from the menu and did not touch the sweets: “I am somewhere 20 years since I no longer eat meat at all! Only if you are informed, there are many … proteins, vegetables, seeds, all kinds.
I no longer need sweets, the body has reset. It’s a way of life, I don’t feel the need anymore. There are also periods when they drink coffee, but also a week of one week in which I say, “I don’t drink coffee anymore!”
I try not to be conditioned by certain things. I do not make efforts not to eat certain things. How do you get used to your body, that’s how you have it! I do not know since I have not eaten two meals, actually, that is to put myself at the table to eat and the type one, and the second way. I don’t remember!
That’s how I think it’s good, that’s what I’m doing well. For about 15-20 years I have been so. I repeat, the wife was the one who took the initiative. She is very careful, she knows, reads a lot, she is very well documented. He helped us about all of the family, and the children”, Confessed Sabău.
