Marius Șumudică (54 years old) criticized those who laughed at Mircea Lucescu (80 years old) at “Prietenii lui Ovidiu” for allegedly falling asleep on the massage table.

Marius Șumudică declared exclusively for GSP.ro that the Romanian Football Federation must rely on Mircea Lucescu until the end of March next year.

Şumudica walks on Lucescu's hand: “With him to the end! He's a titan”

“Mr. Lucescu came, we have to go with him to the end! It's Mircea Lucescu, he's a titan in Romanian football and we have to go with him to the end to see what are the chances of qualifying for the World Cup. That we still have a chance at the dam“, said Şumudica at “Prietenii lui Ovidiu”.

“We don't have room in a truck for Lucescu to put all his trophies”

Šumudiča was amused by the article that made a fuss, the fact that the selector was late for an official national team training because “he was having a massage and fell asleep”.

“Those who attack him… I told them so. When you look in the mirror, give each other two slaps, because you are never allowed to attack Lucescu. We don't have room in a truck for Lucescu to put all the trophies he won in his life.

He is one of the most successful coaches in the world, not only in our country. In our country it is by far the best, it doesn't compare to anyone. And the future selectors were already waving.

I suggested that I take care of the massage. I take him by the calves, so I give him a massage”, Sumudică concluded on a funny note.

“Mircea Lucescu is sick of football”

“He's still standing at 80 years old… To stand up so much, to sit every day in training and you show up to denigrate him like this? It's ridiculous! I know very well what Lucescu means. He called me on the phone for 40 minutes to explain I don't know what and I don't know how. He's sick of football!”, added Marius Șumudică.
