VIDEO. The slides of the misunderstandings between Raul Rusescu and Nicolae Dică: “Normally it disturbed me”
Dissatisfied that he was not used by Dica, Rusescu accused the coach of not recognizing Gigi Becali's influence in the locker room.
“Nicolae Dică was one of the footballers for whom I was watching matches, I wanted to learn things from him. But it's a big difference between the player and the coach …
In principle, I had no conflict with Nicolae Dică, except that I was not playing, and things could not be fine. Besides, I knew exactly how things were working at the club. Of course he disturbed me when he came and said he was doing everything and that it was number 1, although I knew it was not.
Dică said clearly and thoroughly that he controls everything in the locker room, which did not happen. Of course, this speech disturbed me. Here I speak strictly about myself and my relationship with him. Well, Nicolae Dică could not even assume the true role he had within the team, “Rusescu said, in the GSP podcast” 2 to 1 “, moderated by Alexandru Barbu and Daniel Grigore.
“I had nothing to talk to him”
At the same time, Raul Rusescu admits that his own level was not formidable in the mandate of Nicolae Dică.
“It was hard to have a relationship-player relationship ok. We had nothing to talk about … Indeed, my game was not extraordinary, I couldn't say I was breaking the clouds, nor did I play too much.
They all gathered and I arrived when I felt very clear that my place is not there. I left when I had a year of contract, ”added Rusescu.
