“An extraordinary courage!” + How to see the confrontation in series A with Dan Șucu and Nicolae Stanciu

Gică Popescu (57 years old), the former great international, spoke exclusively for the Sports Gazette about his former teammate from the National Team of Romania, Cristi Chivu (44 years old), the new coach from Inter
After saving the parma from relegation, Cristi Chivu received an offer of non-refusal, to train on Inter, the finalist of the Champions League this season. In fact, Chivu is related to Inter, after evolving for “Nerazzurri” between 2007-2014. From today, he is officially the successor of Simone Inzaghi on the Lombar Bank.

Gică Popescu: “It's hard to refuse an offer from the finalist Champions League”
“I didn't expect it now. I thought it would continue at Parma, did an extraordinary work. When no one believed in the team's saving, Cristi took this step. A proof of extraordinary courage and trust in their own strengths.
He won matches that no one expected to win in the Italian championship. I thought it would be the Parma coach for a longer period. Now when an offer comes from the finalist of the Champions League, from a team that has dominated the Italian championship in recent years with Naples, it is difficult to refuse.
It's the team where you made the biggest performance in your career, Champions League, Championship. Maybe it's a chance you think about if you have it. It's a new proof of courage for Cristi, I like that. It was a warm bed at Parma, it would certainly have achieved an important financial growth, but this is proof of courage. When you have the courage, the results come.
I am convinced that he has a beating plan that he will put into practice in Milan. I do not know if he will rely on the same group of players, if he will bring others, this is a question of internal philosophy of Inter, which I do not know, ”Popescu pointed out.
Will it often go from Inter matches of Inter? “I will be busy with the lighthouse, we will play when playing and inter, I will not have time to travel to Cristi's parties.
But I will watch TV, we will all watch. We will be Cristi's first supporters. It represents Romanian football, I have not had a coach in Serie A. It is a pride for us to look at Cristi Chivu as he sits on Inter Milan, “the” Baciul “also stressed.

“It would be extraordinary that half of the Italian championship will be disputed between Romanians”
Popescu scanned the future Carpathian dispute in Serie A, on the Inter – Genoa axis: “It would be extraordinary that half of the Italian championship would be the dispute of some Romanian entities, it would be sensational. We already have two important representatives.
One, club owner, Dan Șucu, at the oldest formation in Italian football. And the other, Chivu, on the team on the wave in recent years, is at the second final of the Champions League in three years, both lost. Let God be the third, with Cristi on the bench, and be winning, but not against Barcelona!
We are very good now in Italian football. I hope there will be others to go in series A, it remains a reference championship ”.

Stanciu is in front of the biggest challenge in the career, in Serie A, in the Genoa's T -shirt
Then he reviews Stanciu's landing in Genoa: “He couldn't decline such a challenge, he has not played in strong championships so far. When you are offered such a variant and you are really professional, you do not think much.
Radu Drăgușin at Inter can one of the spectacular Mercato moves? “It's hard to say as long as it is still injured. It has to come back, show that it is healthy and that the foot works. Then, being very young, he will have time to choose a club at least at Tottenham's level. It is important to return, to play well, then it will not lack offers ”, concluded Popescu.
