A very small sporting miracle is happening in Cluj. Small, but important, because it's about work, serious, that proves its efficiency, without a lot of unnecessary words.
U Cluj is the authoritative leader in the first football division, after 9 stages, without defeat. This, unique for the Cluj team, takes place after the most consistent summer of the last decade, in terms of money spent on player transfers. Rapid, CFR Cluj, FCSB, U Craiova, Farul sold and bought like in the good old days, all transactions being accompanied by a whole procession of words, often empty, frequently malicious. The names of some investors/financiers/creditors (Şucu, Varga, Becali, Rotaru) were used more often than those of footballers and coaches. It is no longer a secret that there is an impression that money can solve absolutely everything, and the key to success is tied with a golden chain only to its number. Seriousness, passion, work are talked about less and less, and the effects of this are more and more visible in all fields.
The team of Ioan Ovidiu Sabău (the coach who claims that he is successful because the people who pay him let him work without giving him their precious advice) has not won anything, for now, but it is important to mark the stage success. Maybe normality will become contagious too, not just abnormality
