“He taught us how to talk, how to eat, everything!”

Flavius ​​Stoican coached Mircea Lucescu for 3 years at Shakhtior, between 2003-2006. He hardly spoke after his death. He said that in addition to the things that the former coach told him about football, Lucescu also gave him a lot of advice that helped him in life.

Flavius ​​Stoican, after the death of Mircea Lucescu: “Oh, it's like it's hard for me to talk about the past”

“I spent quite a long time with you, I think 3 years. Oh, it's hard for me to talk about the past. There were moments when I learned a lot. He was one of the coaches from whom I really thought it was good to take the things he told us before the matches, he paid attention to many details.

This man really taught us how to behave, how to talk, how to eat, everything. He was a man from whom I learned a lot. A clear example, he was also very attentive to how the wind was blowing. He was telling us how to take advantage of the wind in the first half. The grass was bigger, pay attention to the strength of the steps.

These helped me. In everyday life, it teaches us how to behave,” said Flavius ​​Stoican, on GSP Live Special.
