“If she will save her.” How Genoa sees with Dan Șucu patron

Parma struggles in the last stage, traveling to Bergamo, a difficult match with Atalanta (3rd place), to stay in Serie A. The team coached by Cristi Chivu is above the line, at two points of Empoli, the first to fall directly. Between the two is Lecce, two points behind the “Crusaders”.

2Victories, 7 draws and 3 failures have Chivu at the management of Parma, 1.08 average of series points A

Paul Codrea, impressed by the start of Cristi Chivu: “He took the team in a difficult situation”

Chivu is at the first experience as a senior trainer. He signed with Parma in mid-February and has the mission to keep you on the yellow-blue in the first division. The 44-year-old coach managed to hold the leader, Naples, in chess, as he did with the second title, International (2-2).

He defeated Juventus (1-0), at home, said Bologna (2-0), who just conquered the Italian Cup, drew to Rome with Lazio (2-2). But he lost with Como (0-1) and Empoli (1-2), making his mission difficult.

However, Paul Codrea, 44, his former teammate from the National, a former footballer in Il Calcio, appreciates Chivu's career start.

“Time will demonstrate. Now, we just give our opinion. If it will save Parma, it means it has done well. However, he took the team in a difficult situation. He got some good results with big teams. The Italian championship is very hard. The matches with the small teams are the most difficult, like Como, Verona, easier than with Naples or Juve, ”Codrea said in an interview for gsp.ro.

Paul Codrea about Dan Șucu at Genoa: “This year, it was good, to see from the year …”

At the end of 2024, Dan Șucu was amazed by the movement made, taking over the majority package at Genoa (13th place). He has invested 40 million euros to take 77% of the shares.

“I think he surprised everyone. Including the Italians. We didn't expect. Did you expect a Romanian patron to take over a series in series? This year, it was good for them, Let's see from the year. Look, the SAMP dropped in the third league. Probably, Genoa, without Șucu's financial contribution, would have had financial problems. If you are a stable club, the player has another energy.

(Genoa is an old club, with weight) the supporters burn differently. And Sampdoria is a big club, but it went to C. in the end, everything is limited to money. Good that Dan Șucu stabilized the situation in Genoa. If he succeeds even more, it would be fantastic ”, said the Timisoara.

111Matches and 6 goals gathered Paul Codrea, former central midfielder. In Serie A. In Romania he played for LPS Banat, Dinamo, Poli Timișoara and FC Argeș

Why the Romanians catch hard abroad: “Here, they are too coconut. It gives three goals and is the King of Bucharest for a week. Football has long memory”

“Why does the Romanian footballer adapt so hard abroad?”, The man with nine years spent in Il Calcio was questioned.

“I think it depends on the character of everyone. Maybe they are too cocoled here, there is too much talk about them. There, when you arrive, it's a professional environment, you have to be good, and that's normal. That you played well …

It is part of your job, that I pay you, to give three goals, to play very well. Here, if you give 3 goals, you are the King of Bucharest for a week. How is it not a drama, there, to lose a match. No one kills you, he doesn't take your head. I heard Del Piero with a famous reply, it is also valid for me: “You win a match, you raise your sleeve and you work on! You lose, you raise your sleeve and you work on!”.

Only the present matters in football. What you did yesterday is history. It matters the present and what you do tomorrow. Football has no long memory, “Codrea said.

I had no problems of adaptation in Italy, I felt good on day 1. I wanted to play in Italy as a child. It was a bonus for me, I never felt I could not adapt. I didn't want to go back to the country, I refused to come back, I wanted to continue there. Even when I had important offers, important, I did not consider returning
