A little more than 40 years ago, Mircea Lucescu added in Cyprus a new chapter to his doctoral work, qualifying for Euro '84, a tour with only 7 accessible places. Winning that terrible preliminary group was the foundation on which the legend of coach Mircea Lucescu was built. Now, the statue of the great coach has lost his arms right on the island of Aphrodite as the famous ancient sculpture representing Aphrodite.
So, in Cyprus, Lucescu has compromised our chances of this preliminary group for the World Cup. The growth and decrease of the Lucescian Empire has essential terminals in this country.
40 years ago, Mircea Lucescu missed a World Cup qualification. Then, he was pardoned, he was not sentenced to exclusion although I was living a paradox: that year, the Romanian champion was conquering the European Champions Cup, but the Romanian national did not play at the World Cup. Later, Lucescu would be removed after a 4-0 victory with Austria. Now, it could be removed from the national team before a party with Austria.
Avalanche of aberrations
He could, but it's not sure. Normally, Lucescu should be dismissed. You can still trust even a failure, but in Lucescu it is clear that we are dealing with the weakest year in the history of the national: defeats at home with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Canada, failure in Austria, equal to a defeat in Cyprus.
No more ladies victory help in 2025. And all this failed noian is packed in golden decisions, ridiculous gestures and monumental speech gaps.
Lucescu began by taking the previous coach. It is not elegant to do this, not to mention that Iordănescu has led Romania to the Euro, while Lucescu is now light now by a new final tournament.
With Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the void of our defeat in which all the defense was made dust, the coach blamed a single player. With Canada, he came up with the absurd title of Moldovan who cleaned us. After the match, Lucescu came with a conclusion from the world of Bulă-Nistor: If we removed the goals of the Canadians, I played well. Plus the painful statement that we were defeated by Canadians who are not Canadians.
Changes that did not pass the class to Becali
Mircea Lucescu
Lucescu does not change the holders in matches in the same window. That is why, in Nicosia, the holders were only good in the first half. The changes, catastrophic: Miculescu, for the first time in his life of high performance, put to the left of the attack, although Mitriță and Baiaram were on the bench.
In the 80th minute, when we were matched, he removes Man and Răzvan Marin, put Sorescu and Sut. We become more defensive than 2-0 for us. About Sorescu says he scores match by match, the boy has a goal in the last 9 months.
God is merciful to us, stops him from the game. Only then is Tanase sent to the field. After the match, Lucescu has the same arrogant attitude towards journalists. And a new aberration slips, because we could not attack the opponent's gate because he did not leave us the referee. Although he forgave Rațiu by a yellow and did not commit major errors against us.
No Romanian coach came with such an avalanche of absurdities. In addition, Lucescu accused his players of lack of attitude.
Well, Nea Mircea, we also know that Marius Marin is a central midfielder and that Bancu plays on the left. And some of us look at the champion when he plays Voyo in the Europa League play-offnot how you do to come up with the aberration that you do not have a subscription and ask a second to tell your match.
So, leaving aside the obvious issues for everyone and returning to attitude, This is the main purpose of a coach, to bend the footballers with an excellent mood. If you cannot do this, if you make changes like Becali does not make in his darkest days, if you say the Bazacians of Nistor's caliber, it is time to leave the national team.
You should not wait to find a “viable solution” of successor. To bind the defeats can anyone.
