Gheorghe Hagi about what he saw on Ibrox

[Ianis 4 the 55]

In airport, just after landing from Scotland, answering some media questions:
" Ianis is in form, he plays well and he is happy. He chose the ideal team, the ideal club and everything goes well for him. From now on it's him you'll see, he will do the talking, and us, the rest will just watch him. I didn't have tears in my eyes, it was cold. Bravo to him, bravo to the team, they made a fantastic game. They turned the match and they have their chance, but they play against a very good team. I shall not transmit him anything, you talk to him. He is grown now, he is yours. Yes, I spoke with Gerrard before the game. "

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Yeah, baby!

 

[ClubDeckBear]

I read elsewhere that he was disappointed he didn't get a chance to sing father's advice with Bobby Sands add on before calling UEFA bitter mentally challenged bastar*s.

Hagi's uniform

 

[Howlin Wolf]

Hagi snr was a serious baller, what a player this guy was.

 

[Norskger]

He said in his interview he thought we sang the song "Welcome to the Hagi" not "Welcome to the Party"
Welcome to the Haaaaaaaaaagi

 

[Roscoblue]

Like that. Not putting any real pressure on or saying anything daft. He’s a man, speak to him.

 

[Art Freeman]

Watching the game again just now and l'm convinced that free kick is going in anyway regardless of the deflection, just an observation.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Legend. Not a kiddie on one either, a proper gold-standard, bona-fide, certified footballing legend.

His da was no bad either.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Surprised he didn't mention the pre-match drinks in the Louden.

 

[Camby loyalist]

Surprised he didn't mention the pre-match drinks in the Louden.

He said the free hot dog was a nice touch.

 

[Frankie and Ronnie]

Great to hear. Boy looks a great player. Don't know how we got him. Father was a superstar.

Great reply! All about his son not him. Bet Gerrard was a fan boy meeting Hagi snr!

 

[MDM]

He said the free hot dog was a nice touch.

... but was disappointed not get the opportunity to try the world famous blue nose burger.

 

[HenningBerg]

Word is he was brought into the dressing room after the game by his son and received a round of applause and was praising the comeback . Fantastic

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Hagi snr was a serious baller, what a player this guy was.

One of the few players who played better for his country than he did for most of his clubs

I agree, was going in opposite side keeper couldn't see a thing

 

[Baxter Blue]

He still fancies braga lol

 

[Der-goalie]

He said in his interview he thought we sang the song "Welcome to the Hagi" not "Welcome to the Party"
Welcome to the Haaaaaaaaaagi

defo could work a song with that tune for Hagi and the wee man would seem to respond well I reckon

 

[Rod The Prod]

Who would have thought we would have Gerrard and Hagi kicking about Ibrox.

Absolutely brilliant!

 

[Liviger1984]

I heard he was away out to a sash bash with jimmy bell right after the game.

 

[Skeletor]

One of the few players who played better for his country than he did for most of his clubs

up there with David Healy

 

[TQ3]

One of the few players who played better for his country than he did for most of his clubs

Really, because I seen him play for Steau and him and Lacatus were fantastic, he then went to Barca and Real before Galatasaray, not a bad selection of clubs, and he is still highly revered at all of them. He was a class above most in his day.

 

[HammerT]

I noted this at the time myself! However, I accepted it going in the other corner.

Young Hagi is a very exciting prospect. Yes he speaks better English than most of the squad already, but I imagine it’s not that easy to come in and do what he’s done. Unless you have some star quality about you.

Mind boggling, init,

He was class for whoever he played for and the Steaua side were a joy to watch. His stats say almost one in two for an attacking midfield player, a striker would be proud of that so don't really get the played better for his country.

 

[Rangerista]

What a player Gheorghe Hagi was. I never dreamt that we'd have the "Maradona of the Carpathians" in The Stadium watching The Rangers.

Just a thought, but does Hristo Stoitchkov have a talented son?

 

[BlueDel]

Mind boggling, init,

Our club and exposure is back on the right trajectory. Finally.

What a result, given the first 60mins or so.

 

[Infin1ty]

He was class for whoever he played for and the Steaua side were a joy to watch. His stats say almost one in two for an attacking midfield player, a striker would be proud of that so don't really get the played better for his country.

While for clubs he had more top quality players around him in the squad, for the national team he was the one who was pulling everyone to give it all. Of course it helped having players like Popescu, Petrescu, Raducioiu, Dumitrescu or Adrian Ilie around.

By the way Popescu has a son that plays for Hagi's club Viitorul that is seen as a great prospect.

 

[EE-Bear]

Ianis Hagi baby! Ianis Hagi ooooohhhhh!

 

[Robert Marshall]

Surprised he didn't mention the pre-match drinks in the Louden.

I asked him not too as I wanted his son to get all the limelight

 

[coplandrearl36]

Are kids allowed in

Rumour has it he had an affair with a Columbian woman 20 odd yrs ago

It was going in to the top right or left either way. Keeper will be picking another couple out the net on Wednesday.

Yeah. From memory he was just great.
Club and country.

 

[crookie_bear]

Did he not score a rocket for Romania v Scotland , I'm sure he did, I'm thinking around the time Steaua played us.

Euro 92 qualifier?
Don't think it was him.
He scored a penalty in the away game.
Rocket maybe first game at hampden. But don't think it was Hagi.

 

[Bar72loyal]

Surprised he didn't mention the pre-match drinks in the Louden.

Think he spoke about the free pies at the louden.

 

[highlandloyalKW10]

I wonder how often commentators are going to talk about oor Hagis dad and concentrate on him? Bet he gets sick of getting asked about his dad the whole time

 

[ewansurf]

Legendary Father.Hope the son makes it too

 

[grangers]

Watching the game again just now and l'm convinced that free kick is going in anyway regardless of the deflection, just an observation.

I thought exactly the same

 

[Corporal Clegg]

Feel for the lad a bit as he'll always be compared and feel the pressure of living up to his old man wherever he goes. I know exactly what that's like as my old man was considered the best in the family at wallpapering and as much as I tried I could never live up to his standard.

You should “hang” your head in shame.

 

[brianhrfc]

it's early early days, however, from what he has shown in his 5 games, the option to buy in his loan has to be activated. He looks a phenomenal wee player who undoubtedly has so much more to give.

Aside many others, you didn't mention Didi Prodan

 

[archimedes]

Should have given his old man a pasting.

I think your using that as a cover up. Pasting over the real issues

 

[Woodrow Call]

If you check his scoring rate for Steaua it is through the roof compared to every other club. The refs were under instruction they had to win. It was the most corrupt league in the world. Every domestic medal won at Steaua should have been taken off them.
