Marica: "I played better with Piţurcă as spotter!"

Răzvan Lucescu, Lucescu, Ciprian Marica, Marica, România

The forward of 24 years old says that the coach of the national team should inform him personally if he doesn’t need any more his services


Ciprian Marica defends himself and says that he should not be considered the only guilty of the failure against Israel. "It would be nonsense to be found the only guilty! I made recaptures, I passed, I centered, I put forth a feeler! I lost only one ball with Israel. That’s why they defeat us with 2-0?", wrote Marica on his blog. Then, he bit fine at Răzvan Lucescu.

"I played what the coach had asked me! I took the ball, I brought it in the attack, I took to the border four passes! But how many passes did I receive? How many balls in attack or according to my qualities did I have leeway?", said Marica at Gsp TV.


"Why did I score more with Piţurcă?"
The forward from Stuttgart made a reference to the former spotter, Victor Piţurcă: "Why in his system of play, I used to score every match?". Then he continued: "I watched Ibrahimovici, he waits the ball just to introduce it in the goalpost! I run on the left, on the right side, I come in the middle of the field to help the team, because Romania is a small team!".


"Now I know what Mutu and Chivu felt!"
Marica said that now he understands Adrian Mutu and Cristi Chivu, the players who were the most criticized after the failures of the national team. "When they said that they were always considered to be responsible for what had happened, I couldn’t understand them! Now, after I was criticized, too, I understand them", said the international player. Then, when he was asked if he is going to talk with the spotter about his future non-summon, Marica replied with a loud voice: "Why shall call him? If he is a ream man, Răzvan shall call to tell me! We can discuss on the basis of any subject and accept any conclusion!".


"Mr. Mircea’s car is better than mine!"
Yesterday, Marica answered also to Mircea Lucescu, on his own blog, the one who had said about the forward that "he is preoccupied about what is fashionable, cars and girls!". "This kind of declaration amuses me, Mr. Mircea drives a much modern, more powerful and more expensive car than mine! And I have never been a worldly character, I have never appeared in magazines! I do not drink alcohol, I do not smoke, I am 24 years old and I have many things to show in the football of high level! Is that strange to like girls?", commented Marica.


"At the match between Romania and Israel, I tried not to fall asleep! When you don’t have Mutu at the team, Florin Costea shouldn’t miss from the team"

"It is strange that Mr. Mircea criticizes me three years after I left from Şahtior. I do not rediscover myself in the characterization made by Mr. Mircea, but I expected to be criticized!"
Ciprian Marica, on his blog

"I am 24 years old, 27 summonses at the national team and 12 goals scored. I could have scored even more, but maybe I haven’t found yet the right team!"
