HAGI: I TOOK RISKS BECAUSE OF PASSION

Posted on by index

Viitorul Constanta, the club Hagi formed eight years ago, have won the Romanian title and are about to enter the Champions League. So how has he done it?


Viitorul Constanta’s Under-17 and Under-19 squads were going through their paces under the late-afternoon sun and Hagi who was watching from the corner of his eye, was having to restrain himself from looking across to correct certain imperfections. “Look at this,” he said, waving an arm out into the heat. “This is not about money; that’s the last thing for me. This is about work and dedication.”

About eight years from that time, the fruits of Hagi’s work are about to be displayed to the entire world. Viitorul’s senior team played their first Champions League fixture on the 26th of July when the Cypriot side Apoel visited for a third qualifying round first leg; they earned that right through winning Romania’s Liga I last season despite having one of the smallest budgets in the league. It was regarded a remarkable feat that outstripped every projection Hagi had made for his club when he founded it in 2009. (more…)

They met their opponents in Lausanne on Wednesday and it ended in four wins in four games for the Phocaeans.

The third choice keeper of the Ligue 1 side was called to question a few times when the game started. Their opponents started with a heavy press that they had to handle. Lucas Ocampos scored the first goal in the 25th minute before the Romanian side levelled proceedings through Aurelian Chitu after the break.

The 52-year old Gheorghe Hagi could not do anything as his side crumbled effortlessly. The coach of the club he founded years back is known for tongue lashing and encouraging his young players. He was limited as the superior French side ripped them apart as the game wore on. (more…)

HULL MAY BE DONE BUT CERTAINLY NOT MARCOS SILVA

Posted on by index

Hull city would “need a miracle” to stay up. That was current coach Marcos Silva speaking on the day he was given the baton to lead then rock bottom Hull out of the shadows of the EPL’s relegation zone.


And a miracle it almost was from turning a team that won just thrice in the 21 preceding fixtures to the one that won 6 out of the 7 succeeding home fixtures including a 2-0 win over Liverpool who was by the way chasing the title at that time; Marcos Silva definitely came close.

People who knew the Portuguese prior to his appointment won’t be as surprised as the rest of us given what he did with Portuguese side Estoril, a club where he retired as a player in 2011 and took up the mantle of leadership steering them away from the 2nd tier of the Portuguese league to the premier championship and even qualifying them for Europe.

VIOLA CONSIDERS BID FOR RAZVAN MARIN

Posted on by index

Over the past few months of 2016, several reports of interest in Razvan Marin by Viola had been on the rise.


With the opening of the January window, the rumors are back on which may likely see Viola place a bid for the player.

At the moment, Marin plays for Vitorul Constanta, an outfit managed by Gheorghe Hagi. Putting the obvious Fiorentina connection into consideration, it is quite sensible that Corvino would try tapping into this source of talent.

The 20 year old Romanian midfielder is just more of a prospect for the team than an immediate reinforcement. However, if he holds his lines well, he could turn out to become a star.

Marin has shown his ability in creating rather than destroying. He is more notable for his willingness and ability to shoot from a wide distance. He also has an eye for clever passes and with the ball at his feet, he plays a tidy football. (more…)
