“Unbelievable, unbelievable! He's been on the ball so far”

The Superliga has a surprise leader after 4 play-off stages: U Cluj, which just beat Universitatea Craiova, 4-0!

Raul Rusescu, impressed by the evolution of Jovo Lukic: “You never thought”

• Rusescu notes the transformation of Jovo Lukic, 27 years old, the striker of U Cluj and the top scorer of the Super League, with 18 successes in the current season.
• 3-time champion of Romania, also top scorer of League 1, in the 2012-2013 edition, Rusescu was “marked” by the “ladder” with which the Bosnian striker scored against Craiova – it's about the 2-0 goal.
• Before playing for U Cluj, Lukic had played one season at Craiova University, where he was a disappointment: only two goals in 31 appearances.

“Look what it means to transfer a player who you think will suit you very well. I am referring to Lukic, the top scorer of the championship. At the University of Craiova, he stepped on the ball, scoring only two goals. Then, he comes to U Cluj, he is valued, he is given confidence, he ends up alone with the goalkeeper and gives the “ladder”.

This increase in confidence and what confidence can do is incredible. Incredible! You never thought that Lukic from Craiova would end up, in a play-off, giving a “ladder” like that. Incredible! When he came to Craiova University, Lukic was a wrong transfer, because he was not a footballer who could play what the team wanted at the time”, said Raul Rusescu, at GSP Live.

In Romanian football, we should refrain from putting labels so easily. We should be reticent to judge so easily, from a man's first wrongs. Let's accept that you may have a bad time. Let's accept that it is possible that a player can also become the top scorer of the championship after a weaker period
