Metaloglobus – Poli Iași 1-0. Ianis Zicu (41 years old) wrote history, becoming the first coach to take Metaloglobus to the first league. Zicu went live and offered the first reaction after this performance.
Questioned in connection with the imminent departure to the Constanta Lighthouse, a topic of which GSP.ro wrote the previous days, Said offered a mysterious answer. He understood that he takes into account any offer, especially in the context of promotion.
He would not have left the “ship” if the team did not promote. It was extremely tasty after the historical moment.

Ianis Zicu, after taking Metaloglobus superlig: “No one thought PSG beats it on Inter :)”
“I went to the end. It's a beautiful evening for all these players who have struggled, suffered, and now it is worth it. I refused to speak, to go out to say something (no – to the questions about the club's objective). Wherever I went I received the question: “Do you want to?”
The boys have shown that they want, the club wanted, otherwise they did not take a promotion license. Everyone wanted, and with a little chance we managed to promote.
I think we are the club with one of the smallest budgets in the entire Liga 2. and smaller than other teams in Liga 3. We were careful to be happy the players. I can't say if I brought money from home. I am waiting for the club to take care of the players and give them a consistent first. The employer told me we were talking after the match. I have in the contract of promotion and play-off in the contract.
I didn't even know what play-off premium I had. I signed this summer with only one condition: to remain 14 players from the ones with whom the team had finished last year. Yesterday who would have thought that PSG could beat 5-0 per inter? No one.
Just as no one thought we could beat Iasi. I am convinced that this club can go forward with this healthy spirit. Whether I'm a coach or someone else, “Ianis Zicu explained, at the” Football Club “show, from Digi Sport.

What did Ianis say about the interest of the lighthouse
“I had discussions with several clubs in Liga 1, but I thought I had to go to the end. I believed in this success of the club and went to the end. Tomorrow I will have time to think. If I did not promote, I was very sad for the players. Now I can do this (no – to leave)in case an offer will appear.
Discussions were, with several clubs. I don't mean anything until I make a final decision. He (no – Ciprian Marica, present in Clinceni) He is the first to trust and took me in coaching. He came to support me today. In my career I won 9 trophies, but I never enjoyed it. Today … it was something else.
The boys understood all the things we transmitted. Looked into my eyes and were prepared. I hope they are happy for what they have succeeded. For next year, I think we have to keep 80-90% of them. Better than other foreign players come, who are relegating and leaving.
The leaderships said they would keep 90% of the lot and hope to keep their word. Starting with the team captain to the goalkeepers. Everyone has to enjoy, because they have struggled in Liga 2. They have to fight, to show that it is worth being in the first league.
I hope he has that “wickedness” and hunger to fight the players in the first league. I got in the car and go to a place where we called the players, stay longer and enjoy the moment.
I don't go anywhere. I'm leaving for the party! For happiness, I can eat something sweet tonight, “added Zicu, the hero of promoting Metaloglobus.
