The Spaniards of Sport talked Florin Răducioiu about the coach of the Ukrainians, Mircea Lucescu placeholder image.
“It’s unique”said the former Dinamo and national team striker about the coach who launched him into great football.
“At 75, Mircea Lucescu is the oldest coach in the Champions League. He is also the most respected coach in Romania, although he has not worked there for 20 years. The veteran coach seems to have a magic recipe that allowed him the luxury of having success in time and space. “, points out the Spanish from Sport.
Although he worked with him alone at the beginning of his football career, the former Espanyol player, Florin Răducioiu, has a special memory of the 5 years he was a student of Lucescu at Dinamo Bucharest and later in Brescia and does not hesitate to call him ‘his father of football ‘”., also writes the cited source.

Mircea Lucescu coached Dinamo between 1985 and 1990 and promoted Florin Răducioiu to the first team when he was only 15 years old. He would often take his student from high school to make sure he wasn’t late for training, Spaniards recall.
“Lucescu was a mentor, a teacher for me. Without him I would not have become a footballer. He believed in me and gave me my first chance in football. He taught me to play, but from him I learned other important things in life.
He gave me the best advice at that point in my career and I had a lot to learn from him. He told me about museums, about culture in general, not just about football. “said Florin Răducioiu of Sport.
The former striker also recalled the correction received from “Il Luce”, in the second leg of the Recopa Cup semi-finals, 1989/1990 season, with Anderlecht, at the old “Lia Manoliu” stadium. Dinamo were then eliminated, after a double defeat by 0-1.
In the 85th minute, Răducioiu’s John Blankenstein violently pushed another player from behind while looking for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. The moment he passed Mircea Lucescu, the coach slapped him.
“I was 20 years old. He slapped me with everyone and I didn’t say a word of shame.”, Răducioiu recalled, who, 30 years after that episode, calls Mircea Lucescu “The most important coach of his career.”

The two’s paths crossed again, in Brescia, two years after Răducioiu left Dinamo and had two modest seasons, in Bari and Hellas Verona.
“Thanks to him I was reborn! He did specific exercises with me two or three times a week, after training. That season I grew enormously and then I signed for AC Milan.”Răducioiu also said.
Mircea Lucescu had as students throughout his career Pirlo, Hagi, Fernandinho, Srna, Stelea, Lupescu or Prunea, and Florin Răducioiu believes that “Many of them would not hesitate to kiss Lucescu’s feet.”
“From a human point of view it is the same, it has not changed. He always wants to educate footballers. He likes to talk to them on the bus, at the table, on the plane. He convinces you to do things right and gets involved. In your life, in football, he has always progressed, learned, evolved, but he always wants technical players in the team and emphasizes tactical organization ”.Răducioiu also said.
With 106 games in the Champions League, Mircea Lucescu is the sixth coach in number of games in the most important continental interclub competition, after Ferguson, Wenger, Ancelotti, Mourinho and Guardiola. “He is unique! I think Dynamo Kiev will be his last coaching experience.”Răducioiu concluded.
