The kick from around the corner

The fear of all the coaches of the Rapid team from the last decade, Marius Şumudică, is one step away from driving the Giuleşti locomotive into the fence. Requested by the gallery, more than insistent, self-proposed in a style difficult to digest even for friends, Şumudică managed to force the hand of financier Dan Şucu, who, after countless hesitations, decided to install him in the position of coach, replacing the Northern Irishman Neil Lennon. Şucu didn't seem convinced of the move, but it was clear that he had no way of getting rid of the pressure until he anointed the gallery's favorite as coach. What followed is known. The team plays almost nothing, the results are missing (12th place in the ranking after 12 stages), the atmosphere is tense on all levels, coach-president of the club, coach-financier, coach-stand (not gallery), coach-players. Guraliv beyond measure, Şumudica started to get entangled in its own web of threads and as they always say in football, it has minimal chances to "grab the coat" in Giulesti. To lose, everyone around this team loses, but first of all the coach, who succeeds with everything he has done recently to exclude himself from domestic football.

The lesson is good for all practicing Tahnicians, but also for players who intend to embrace this profession, without measurement it is very difficult to build anything long term. It's spectacular to dance on the sidelines after a victory, to throw ironies at the people you want to take their place, to make questionable jokes at press conferences, but it's not healthy. Regardless of the profession practiced, seriousness is the foundation on which a solid career can be built. Including football, which, despite domestic appearances, has become a very serious business.
