“Mrs. Lucescu can teach the history of Turkey to students.” Where he wants to see Răzvan Lucescu: “Inshallah”

Sinan Serhatioglu was the translator of Mircea Lucescu during the golden period in Beșiktaș, but also at the Turkish national. He gathered four years with Il Luce. And the relationship between them came to friendship, which resisted over the years. It is also observed from the reaction that the Romanian had when he spoke through a video intermediate by the reporters of the Sports Gazette.

From Istanbul, Sinan, the good man to all, support of hope and for the Romanian journalists, exhibited some less known details about Mircea Lucescu. Based on personal experiences with the reputed technician.

Sinan Serhatioglu is firmly convinced: “Mr. Lucescu was the brain of the current national of Turkey”

“Being with him, it meant enormously. And it mattered. How to manage relationships with people in football. He was a very important character in my career. I learned as many players did. He is rich, but he does not show his wealth! A humble man, who shows his wealth in his soul and in his brain.

I had the chance of long discussions with him, over the years, he was like a father, like a friend, like a brother to us. Of extraordinary discipline. Mr. Lucescu was also successful at the national team of Turkey, whatever anyone says. He laid the foundation of the team now, giving credit to young people of great future. He made a good salad, dripping quality sauce. Lucescu was the “brain” of the national team, worked on the mentality of young people from now on the first representative. He offered them the need for performance, “the Turk said.

Mircea Lucescu is a calm man. He can speak 8-9 languages, he managed to say whatever he wanted to understand everyone. Throughout the matches, it was also nervous, because the players do not respond to calm. But also at the screams! And I was screaming, I imitate it, to convey what the technical director wants. If I did not scream, I would not put fear in players, it was not the same message from Mr. Lucescu

17Matches gathered Il Luce as a coach of the Turkish national

Răzvan Lucescu in the Turkish championship? “Maybe in Beșiktaș. We are waiting for him to show that he is better than the father”

How does the Turk sees Lucescu? And those in the Lucescu family?

“A person who smiles a lot. And who did not do even when he lost. I went to dinner, I went to receptions, discussions with board members or president, or television shows. It has always been a pleasure to have his company. And he feels very good to love Istanbul, Turkey.

And Mrs. Lucescu … wow! It should teach the students history of Turkey. He knows it! It's better than many Turks, an incredible person. Has a fantastic intelligence.

Mr. Lucescu liked to eat fish. He loves some restaurants. And a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.

We want to see Răzvan Lucescu in Turkey. Maybe in Beșiktaș (laughs)! Inshallah (n.red the will of Allah). Mr. Lucescu said that his son is better, we expect him to show that. We hope to come, it has a good name, “Sinan commented.

When Mircea Lucescu cried. And the experience of the wine glass Petrus

A moment of special sensitivity of Mircea Lucescu in the spring 2003.

“I saw him crying, once. When I was champions with Beșiktaș, he was teaching. He didn't want to be seen. He is an emotional person, but he doesn't want to show her. At night after the title of the Centenary Year? Uuu. Mr. Lucescu instilled us in that year the strength to believe that we will defeat regardless of whatever could happen. We considered that we can defeat anyone.

Look at a funny story with him. He arrived at Shahtior, after Turkey. He wanted two players at Donetsk, the stops of our national. He wanted Ibrahim Toraman and a guy from Trabzon. He called us with the president, with all, at an extraordinary table. And he put on wine on the table. Very expensive, something special. I hadn't seen that before. Ibrahim said he cannot drink, that he is a footballer, in the company of everyone, he cannot afford. “But drink for me,” said Toraman.

And Mr. Lucescu said to me then: “Stay quiet, you can drink as much as you want, it is a very good wine!”. And I think I broke 2-3 bottles, “said translator Sinan Serhatioglu.

Daniel Pancu was a good drinker, Pascal Nouma also held the rhythm, and Sergen Yalcin was a big bet. But extraordinary footballers! Increase!
