“Do you know what Rădoi and Dan Petrescu wrote to me? It's clear, I'm the number 1 of the coaches!”

Marius Șumudică (54 years old), the coach of the ones at Rapidheld on Saturday afternoon the pre-derby press conference with Fcsbfrom the 6th stage of the play-off in Superliga. The coach first displayed a wide smile, and laughed noisily to his own statements. He tried to seem unaffected by the latest events at the club and transmitted that he considered himself the best play-off coach.
After sending to the supporters that he resigns following the defeat with FC Hermannstadt from the semifinals of the Romanian Cup, score 1-2, Marius Șumudică did not want to pay 150,000 euros, the termination clause with Rapid, and remained on the Giulesti bench until the end of this season.
“My message was clear, I admit. I wanted to interrupt the contract, I wanted to leave, to make a shock to the team. There are chances and at the moment, they are playing, there are 15 points in the game.
Coming out of love for this club, I cannot say that I do not love this club, I wanted to make a shock to the team and take the pressure on me. I had a clear meeting with the two shareholders and Săpunaru.
VIDEO. Marius Șumudică, before Rapid – FCSB: “I can't sell a house to pay damages to the club”
It was transmitted to me that this is not a contract, that it must continue, that there are some consequences following the unilateral breaking of a contract. I, at the moment, for a month I cannot sell a house to pay damages to the Rapid Club.
It is true that there is dissatisfaction from many people, I assumed, I wanted to take the step. I sent the team's message, the boys reacted, 8-9 players came to tell me it was not my fault. I feel so good and so relieved … it was a hard time, but it's not. Now I'm relaxed.
After all, you do what you like, with good, bad. If I look at Ancelotti, Mourinho, Guardiola, where hundreds of millions have been invested … I suffered, I suffer. This morning I went, I trimmed, I arranged. Tomorrow I dress beautifully, I prepare my team to give the best at the match with FCSB. They are our rivals and we will try to make a positive result.
“How the hell, in 10 days is the worst shy coach now?!”
After the matches with Dinamo and CFR Cluj … with Dinamo I won, with CFR I made a very good half. I was chosen the coach of the stage. How the hell, in 10 days is the worst shyworm now?!
So far I have been modest, but you have one of the best Romanian coaches. I speak to the third person, as they do not like some: Șumudică is one of the best coaches!
“Dan Petrescu, Mirel Rădoi wrote to me that I am one of the best coaches in Romania. Yes, you have the number 1 coach!”
And that made me believe the messages I received from the other coaches. Dan Petrescu, Mirel Rădoi wrote to me that I am one of the best coaches in Romania. “We respect you and it is not normal what happens to you.” I thank them in this way. Dan Petrescu came after me to CFR and I didn't have an extraordinary relationship. I thank Mirel Rădoi.
That made me change and feel proud. I am still young for the trainer's job, I think I can do it with great. Tomorrow I'm ready for war!
I arrived in the semifinals of the cup, I was 30 seconds and … it is a curse for us with Hermannstadt. It was a pressure and the players at that time, we wanted very much to reach the final, we did not succeed. I was close to the extensions, you don't know what's going on there.
Why 10 days before I was … not me, I arrived the coach of the stage due to the players, I do not get rid of them. I don't criticize the players in front of the press and I never do it.
I think they could then, I think they will be able to more tomorrow. He discussed this time when I have to continue my job and stay on the team. There was no batch discussion, transfers, we didn't get to talk, we don't know what will happen.
If I qualify this team in the European Cups, I will have to remain the coach of the Rapid. It is a clause that must be paid, whether I am kicked out, or I want to leave. I didn't allow myself to pay it now.
Do you look at my face, do you think I'm still like in the past? (laugh). If I'm better, one of the best, if my colleagues say I'm one of the best, what to do, brother? If you want to go to a Miss contest and tell you one that you are beautiful and you feel and tell you that ribbon. I consider myself one of the best coaches and I feel extraordinarily good.
“Tell your colleagues that Șumudică is the happiest, I am number 1, Șumudică has changed”
So happy I am, on my word of honor … Tell your colleagues that Șumudică is the happiest, I am number 1, Șumudică has changed (no noise). I got to laugh like Gigi Becali, maybe I am going well (no continues to laugh in hoods) ”, Concluded Șumudică.
I hope that tomorrow we will make the people from Craiova and CFR happy and last but not least, first, to make our fans happy. (No. Balaj said that tomorrow is your fan) Another extra fan besides the tens or hundreds of thousands we have. I want to play for Rapid, if they take advantage and others that's their job. I am interested in what we have to do.
Call Mr. Șucu, please, I have no way to know (no if he negotiates with Răzvan Lucescu). I do not have access to the phones of Mr. Șucu, I do not know, what, to ask if they negotiate with other coaches? It is not my problem, he can negotiate with whom he wants, I am a sham, I am the coach of the Rapid at the moment, I take the contract to the end, further Mr. Șucu is free to do what he wants and I do not comment on what is happening.
I was not here if I took the team from the beginning of the season, I was not in the situation where we are now, I think I was better, once again, because I am the best (no continues to laugh).
– Marius Șumudică, at the conclusion of the conference
A derby, a match with the team from the first place. We must prove that what happened was an accident and that our value is different. We have prepared this match for victory, we hope to win it. There are 15 points left in the game and we hope to take as much as possible to reach the 4th place.
Look at me, how do I feel? I feel very good! I am very good, I trust the team and I strongly believe that tomorrow we will be able to win, that is my opinion. What discussions were within the group, I think the boys are 100% prepared and they will give the best
