It didn't matter who we were playing against. We were practicing our football. We didn't know how to defend ourselves, we always tried to attack. Lucescu was a winner, a strong and extremely hardworking man.

I was always by his side. Without football, it is impossible for him to live. I'm proud of him and everyone should be. It is unique.

– Darijo Srna, the captain of Shakhtior during the time when Lucescu was a coach
