“I already talked to Dan Șucu. He is ready to fight”

• Among other things, Pancu is considering changing the game system and aims to repair the relationship with the supporters.

• The technician says directly that he wants 5 transfers in the summer and intends to give continuity to the young players, including those returning from loans.

1. Goodbye, 4-3-3! Pancu is thinking about the system with 3 central defenders

The most important move that the new technician prepares is of a tactical nature. Pancu It wants to give up the 4-3-3 module!

“I still have some requirements at Rapid, I told the leaders about them and I can't go into details, I'll say after that (no – after discussions are completed).

Just last night I was thinking about the 3-4-2-1 system, which I played with Mircea Lucescu at Beşiktaş. At Rapid we played 3-5-2, also with nea Mircea, with Răzvan Lucescu 3-4-3. It is taken into account, yes.

I talked twice with Dan Șucu. At first I saw him sadder, angry, dejected, but the second time he was really ready to fight again”, stated Daniel Pancu, at GSP Live.

At Rapid, I admit – what attracted me the most, by far, is the training base. In the first place. We trained with CFR Cluj at the base of Rapid and I was impressed. Now we have seen what he will have from October, all the conditions.

It's a team I've coached before. Some call it karma, I call it the law of compensation. Rapid has everything a team needs to perform

2. Peace with the stands: “The first relationship that needs to be resolved at Rapid is the one with the supporters”

Another hot point on Daniel Pancu's agenda is managing the relationship with the supporters. Lately, and in the context of the poor results, Giulești fans moved away from the favorites: the stadium was no longer full, and the players were booed copiously at home matches.

“The first relationship that needs to be resolved at Rapid is the one with the supporters. Without supporters, without understanding, without unity between managers, supporters and players, things are very difficult to achieve. I don't know exactly what the reason is, the apple of discord there, I have no idea, but it is felt, without asking.

I don't accept mediocrity, and Rapid is in a sort of mediocrity at the moment. I wouldn't accept that at Rapid. These finished matches and “Let's go home because we've ticked off another match or training” – I don't accept these things at all!” added the technician.

I want a team that identifies with Rapid, with a lot of heart. The beautiful bar should never be taken out of context and never play with the stadium half empty!

These are the objectives related to the atmosphere. You have a much better chance of winning something, a Cup, a 3rd, 2nd place, maybe even the championship, you never know, but without these, no!

3. Market strategy: “I want 5 transfers. 5 starters!”

Pancu asked sports director Marius Bilașco for 5 transfers!

“Bilașco also knows the profiles of the players. I talked with Marius. He went to Portugal to see players for Rapid.

We will have to bring in new footballers, 4-5 starters, half the team. The character of the players matters a lot to me as a coach. I'm starting from the idea of ​​team spirit, that's the basis,” said Tuesday's GSP Live guest.

4. Betting on young people: “The club has invested a lot”

In addition to acquisitions, the new project in Giulești will also include the promotion of young players.

“Rapid has a lot of young players coming back in the summer that I know. The club has invested a lot these years and unfortunately for him it has not reaped anything. Rareș Pop, El Sawy, Ignat, Ungureanu are returning.

On the part of the boss, there is an interest in using young players, I heard him talking about this aspect”, concluded Daniel Pancu.
