The Generals' Demystification

GALERIE
%PIC_TITLE%
    - +
    This summer, on the occasion of the European Football Championship, I intersected my ways, several times and hazardously, with Anghel Iordanescu, which I consider, and I am not at all the only one, the most successful trainer of all times, together, maybe, with Pisti Covaci. I was impressed by the excellent reputation the "General" had, both among the football men and the journalists present at Euro2000 and the simple supporters, that saluted him with sympathy when recognizing him. At the end of the games, I have learned that Iordanescu had already signed a contract with Rapid; he was to take Lucescu's place in the team of Giulesti. I said to myself that this was the best thing to do for the club led by Copos, as Iordanescu seemed to me the only Romanian technician able to take over, at the moment, the ship of Grant and lead it to success.
    Surprisingly, this trip was not a successful one: in spite of some very good results obtained in the preparation period, when it was seen as a quite serious competitor for the title, the team was in an embarrassing situation during the championship, almost reaching the inferior pole of the classification. The only good thing, the game with Pancu and company on the Liverpool filed, could not make the General's position last in Giulesti, especially that he got to have the supporters against him too. So that, despite any prediction, the most amiable Romanian trainer, the one who had got the big achievement of leading the "tricolors" to the quarters of the finals within the World Championship, had to quit his position in Rapid, assuming the responsibility of the most hurtful failure in his career.
    Cornel Dinu, in his turn, passed from ecstasy to embarrassment, but in a much shorter period of time - a few months. The man acclaimed in June, was dismissed in October, at the end of the championship, for… no results. The premature elimination from the Champion league and the bad start in the championship made the leaders of the "bad dogs" to consider Dinu's drawing away from the leadership, as the unique recovering solution. But after several days, after consulting the players and carefully analyzing the situation in the club, they decided to have Dinu back on the technical position and to continue the fight to regain the position in the A League top. His position is, anyway, dangerous, as not achieving this objective until the end of the tour, might get him back the dismissal. This time, irrevocably.
    At Galatasaray, Mircea Lucescu made a good start, winning the European Super-cup, as a victory over Real Madrid. However, given the contradictory results within the championship and the Champion League, it seems that his chair started balancing too. It is up to the next games (especially the one with Sturm in the League) if he will stay trainer of Hagi and Popescu. Otherwise, what he had done for Galata won't matter any more and he will get out at once. This kind of things happens everywhere in the world, not only to the Romanian trainers. Let's remember Jupp Heynckes, dismissed from Real Madrid, after having won the Champion League and, more recently, Dino Zoff, forced to quit by the virulent critics that followed the finals of Euro 2000.
    What should anyone understand out of all these unhappy examples? The fact that no trainer holds the everlasting success key, no matter how successful he might have been in his career and no matter how well prepared. There is no trainer who had won all the times, no matter what team he might have prepared. We should understand that it depends on many factors, that some time there appear adaptation difficulties. The trainers are human beings and their career cannot leap from summit to summit, there are ups and downs. But the real trainers are the ones who manage to defeat the difficulties and to go up another summit. This kind of trainers are rare, and they should be treated with more respect by the Romanian football and not with despise at the first setback.

    Roboţi

    Robotul a trecut, treptat, de la „plimbarea” convulsivă pe coridoarele Universităţii, la alergarea „profesionistă”. Se arăta capabil să sară şi peste obstacole, plăcerea sa supremă fiind „să evite” deliberat, în viteză, femeile de serviciu îngenuncheate pe ciment şi prinse în efortul răzuirii gumelor de mestecat aruncate iresponsabil. Îngrijitoarele se speriau îngrozitor şi ţipau injurios după Robogică (foarte des îl numeau „pocitania dracului”!).

    Despre discursul regionalist din Moldova (II)

    Delestaţi de centru şi captivi între statalismul teritoriului post-sovietic de la est de Prut şi desconsiderarea de la nivelul Bucureştiului, moldovenii din România aleg soluţia cea mai simplă: ştergerea sau renunţarea la identitate. Exemplele sunt multiple şi deseori invocate în scrieri mai vechi, de la divergenţele teritoriale bucovineană (în plin nucleu statal al Moldovei), vrânceană şi gălăţeană, la tendinţele actuale ale tinerilor de a migra pentru studii spre centrele universitare externe Moldovei, deseori mai prost cotate decât Iaşul în sistemul universitar. În aceste condiţii, să nu înţelegi necesitatea unor mişcări care militează pentru scoaterea Moldovei din izolarea impusă de către centru e cam prea mult!

    Spărgătoarea de coduri

    Viaţa unui copil de acum 40 de ani (şi aproape sigur şi înainte) era absolut fascinantă pentru că era înmuiată din plin în toată istoria omenirii şi în tot ce avea mai valoros, adunat până atunci, în cărţi. Da, lucrurile alea cu un aer prozaic, mărturia perpetuă a unei invenţii seculare, care, prin natura lor de a păstra scris orice gând pe care i-l încredinţai, obligau la multă atenţie, şi mare responsabilitate şi scriitorul, şi cititorul.
