Hungarian coach Marco Rossisaid amused the reporters of the Sports Gazette an episode from the locker room “Bresciei Romena”, in which Dorin Mateuț believed that the Italians make him “donkey”, erroneously interpreting a discussion between teammates. Gică Hagi intervened and clarified the winner of the golden boot
The coach of the Hungarians, Marco Rossi, 60, offered an interview in the Sports Gazette in which he had memorable appreciation for some heroes of Romanian football. From Mircea Lucescu, Ioan Ovidiu Sabău and Gheorghe Hagi at Dorin Mateuț and Florin Răducioiu, people with whom he worked in Il Calcio three decades ago.
Marco Rossi told about Dorin Mateuț: “He did not understand when my Italian colleagues said” donkeys, donkeys “, that is,” may “in our language. He thought we were making a donkey”
Marco Rossi is one of the most long -standing selections worldwide. A technician respected in the industry for the results of the northern national head of Tisa, Rossi had remarkable moments during the period at “Brescia Romena”, then for the contribution to a Cup of Italy conquered with Sampdoria.
In the discussion with the reporters of the Sports Gazette, Marco Rossi was amused on account of an episode who had in the focus on Dorin Mateuț. Former Dynamo striker, golden ice of Europe in 1989, was brought by Mircea Lucescu under his command in Brescia in 1992 after two years spent in Spain at Real Zaragoza.
Dorin Mateuț in Brescia period
“Yes, Mateuț. Very friendly. In the locker room there was something … We were talking in Italian and, even if our languages were approaching, he did not understand what we were talkinglaugh). It was annoyed (Mateuț), lucky that Gică (Hagi) was calm. And explained to him. It was funny. But the Romanians were super, “said Marco Rossi.
4Matches gathered Dorin Mateuț for Brescia, where he only played until 1993, after which he left for Regigiana
Marco Rossi remembered with pleasure his good friend Ioan Ovidiu Sabău: “I have never seen Paolo Maldini in such difficulty”
Italo-Hungarian had laudative words about Ioan Ovidiu Sabău and Gheorghe Hagi. He did not avoid showing his appreciation for the two.
“I did not see Paolo Maldini at that time in such big problems as against Nelu Sabău! I played against AC Milan, I lost 1-0, but Nelu was … Top, Top, Top! It was difficult to play against Nelu. But Nelu was unlucky, when he transferred from Brescia to Reggana, he suffered many injuries. Muscle injuries. Many. And he didn't recover.
Nelu is a very, very good friend of mine. An extraordinary man. (Is it another type of human material?) AAA, yes. In this materialistic world, in which everyone dreams of Jesus Christ, you can talk to someone like Nelu and realize that football is not everything on this planet.
With Gică Hagi I had a great relationship. And I still have. For me, at that time … OK, in Italy he played only in Brescia. When he came from Real Madrid, Gică was a fantastic footballer. In Italy, after Maradona, it was Gică … He had that left foot, I don't think I saw so many footballers with such qualities. Immediately after Maradona, I think.
I had a phrase when we played together in Brescia: hope today the tactical idea of the team would be: “Give Gică's ball and then go to hug it!” When it was on a good day, no one, absolutely nobody could stop him. And scored beautiful goals. Eee, was the golden generation of Romanian football, “concluded Marco Rossi.
7years have passed from the moment when Marco Rossi took over the destinies of the Hungarian national, meanwhile the Italian also acquiring the citizenship of this country
