“It's hard to come after Gică Hagi”

Ianis Zicu spoke about the objective he set at the Constanta Lighthouse, about the cantonment program, but also about the club's strategy. Gică Popescu, the president of the club, and Tiberiu Curt, the vice -president of Constanta were present at the press conference.

Ianis Zicu at the first press conference at Farul Constanța: “It is hard to come after Gică Hagi, but something different I can bring”

“I am very excited because I come to a club led by people who have made history for Romanian football and international football. There are former footballers who have come to run a proper club. I was born here, here I played in the junior and the big team, I trained before the merger.

I wish to win every match and meet the goals. This is more important than the first match of the season. I hope to reward the trust given, and in the end we will enjoy together. Let's reach our goals and develop young players, just as it was during Gică Hagi's period.

I have 4 matches in Liga 1. The dam matches are considered matches in the first league, 2 I won, I made a draw and a defeat. I am not debutant in the first league. The level is higher, the players are of another value. I start from the human quality and then I reach the tactic, technically. The group is the one that can bring us the results, by no means the individualities. We need to be a group. The group, before anything.

At one point you are beginner. So do you. Each of us goes through these stages. We have to trust, to work because nothing comes for free. As a player I didn't work as much as I had to. The players here had the chance or not to be trained by Gică Hagi, a former footballer, with a desire, who seriously treated any training and did not want the player not to give 100%.

Players have a coach who did not give 100% as a player, but as a coach does not accept in any way that the player is unprepared. The most important part is training. I understood after I left. If I understood at the right time I could be a bigger player than I was.

There are situations that happen at any club in the world. I would have liked to continue Denis and Luca. Are valuable players. We need to find solutions. The club goes on the option of promoting young people. You can't find apologies like: I'm missing and I lost. At me you never hear this excuse.

Often life gives you moments that if you want to direct you cannot. Situations to be put in such a way. That's what destiny wanted, that was the moment. It's my luck to be here and I hope to reward it. It's hard to come after Gică Hagi. Something different I can bring.

Ianis Zicu: “In the sea I established: reunion on the 11th, medical visit on 12”

In the sea we have established: reunion on 11 (no June), medical visit on 12, next week and the next we will work here without a cantonment program. Next week cantonment on the base. We will leave after Bucharest, a friendly match and after Bulgaria. It's a short period. I would have wished for an extra week. All teams are leaving the same point. It is not easy because any player seen by the big teams and we want it. We have to take players with lower level salaries with it. If you pay more, it does not mean that you have results next year.

Ianis said: “Let's go into the play-off is the goal”

Entering the play-off is the goal. From there we see what we can do more. I don't think there's another goal. To be at a healthy club from all points of view, to have an academy behind, it does not have to exist in anyone's mind that if we finish on 7 it is best because it is better than last year. We have to enter the play-off. That's what I signed, that's what I accepted. I hope the players have this wickedness. The performance of taking the title is the maximum. What is happening on the intern. I want to take the lighthouse to the European competition.
