“We were all wondering where he got the resources from”

The vigil of “Il Luce” was held at the National Arena, where thousands of people came to pay their last respects to the great former coach and footballer. Răzvan Lucescu shook hands with at least 10,000 people who came to offer their condolences.

Mihai Stoica, impressed by Răzvan Lucescu: “The Lucescu family gene is something inexplicable”

“We were all wondering where Răzvan has the resources to stand up since yesterday and receive condolences from everyone. And then I gave my answer. The Lucescu family gene is something inexplicable. As Mircea trained until the last moment of her life, Răzvan also had this strength.

Now, indeed, we realize how great this man was. The international recognition of this man is astonishing.

You feel indebted when you attend an event of such magnitude. I was, indeed, at Helmuth's funeral, at her Emi's, but the scope of Mircea's was colossal,” said Mihai Stoica, according to primasport.ro.
