In antithesis with the way he presented at the last flash interviews, Gică Hagi, 60, the technical manager of the Constanta Lighthouse, “King” came to statements with a smile on the lips, After the victory of the “sailors” on Ilie Oană, score 1-0. The only success of the match was successful by Luca Băsceanu, the new invention of the Academy, 18 years old.
In the style of other speeches of the “king”, he emphasized the importance of the offensive game in football and acknowledged that his team was lucky at times. He praised the benefit of the young Luca Basceanu, but mentioned that he has much to learn to confirm at the senior level.
He highlighted Denis Alibec as the man of the match, saying that when he is focused, he is a top player. Hagi also spoke about the pressure of important matches and transmitted that the team must be 100% connected to the next match, a difficult one. He ended saying that mental training and communication with players are essential for success.
With this victory, the band from the Black Sea shore has distanced three points from UTA Arad, occupying the first dam-out dam.
Gică Hagi: “It's normal to feel pressure”
“Football is not about how you defend yourself, football is about the attack. There were so many incredible situations and I was lucky. They are key matches, three points. If you win, you go up there. It is normal to feel the pressure. Luca Basceanu comes from the Academy, it was the best, but it has a lot to learn. By the age of 18 you can see that you have talent, then the competition begins with the seniors, with the best.
And I think Alibec was the man of the match. He's a footballer and holds the most with the Lighthouse. You saw him what he stated. When Denis Alibec only focuses on playing football, he is a big player. He still has his moments, which we do not understand. I understand them, but I swallow them. When he doesn't have them, he's a big player.
We had to fight for these 3 points. A difficult game awaits us now. We have to be connected 100%, it's not a joke. It will be a hard match, just as they were all the others. The most important thing is to talk to the players, to know how to prepare the match. It is clear that there is pressure, but I did what it had to be before this party, “Hagi told Flash-interview for Digisport.
