Gica Hagi: “I was with football. My goal was to pass the class”
The “King” revealed how he tried to reconcile sport with teaching and recounted a unique episode.
“My mother’s brother was the best at math. He made the others learn math. He also tried with me, but he left after a month. He went to his mother and said, ‘Get him out of here! An ear was telling me , the other one was going out, I was playing soccer, my goal was to pass class, not to make my father laugh, I still had a 4, normal.
My father always told me that I needed a degree. At the time, we didn’t think that if you started playing soccer, you could live well afterwards. Now, football is an important company, a multinational where you can work. Today it has become an industry, a profession “said Gica Hagi, in an interview with Andi Moisescu.
