The bankruptcy of the trick

Local football has received a valuable (open) lesson in recent months. The Rapid club was used as a study material, assaulted at the beginning of the season by a coach who did everything possible to be installed in the place of a fellow player.

Near the end of a rather gray football year for the club from Giulesti, coach Marius Şumudică decided to give up, after losing almost all his supporters. Even his departure is done in his own style, by the wayside, in a desperate attempt to shift the fans' anger from him to the players and shareholders (after only 12 hours he reversed his resignation).

In football, as in life, there are several categories of "working" people. We list three of them, very visible in the world of sports: people who work seriously and do their job quietly; people who work little, but talk a lot about what they do and people who do nothing and talk about how they will work at some point, but that moment never comes.

Marius Şumudića was part of the second category and after the last experience he may migrate to the third. His cunning style, in which he put himself in the spotlight at every opportunity, bankrupted the very team he claims to love the most. Crude jokes, ironies, personal attacks, often gratuitous, do not bring results, only an overexposure with a boomerang effect, which when returned hits you in the face. Under Şumudića's command, Rapid - the team with the largest salary budget in League 1 - did not have the desired results and did not look good at all in terms of the game performed. If things have been decided for some time regarding the players and those who try to cheat the job are quickly eliminated, the time has come to change the situation regarding the coaches. Competence is demonstrated on the grass and is supported by results, not in press conferences or TV studios.
