Inspired by the Dutch initiative, a small group of romanian managers decided to take fate into their own hands. Romania has a small pool of players, and if we want to stay in the top (WC and U19 runner-up) we need to take better care of the youth.
We created the Romanian Development League (LRD) with the sole purpose of taking better care of the romanian young players and teams.
Our objectives are : 2600 rookies this season in Romania, atleast 50 rookies with SI>20.000 at the end of the season, teams in a lower div than 1.1 don't have an age average bigger than 22.
(some of the objectives)
In order to achive this we will run some projects.
The first one is named Rookie Challenge: We support and encourage div 1.x teams and lower to extract rookies weekly. If they do this, they will be rewarded: after 4 consecutive drafts they will receive 20 cbmoney, for every rookie >12.000 SI they will receive 20 cbmoney more. Also at the end of the season the rookie with most minutes, and better SI will win for his owner another prize. The cbmoney come from the initiative group which managed to gather 1300 Cbmoney untill now.
Already results are good more than 20 users entering the program in the first days.
Other planned programs are U18 Domestic cup and Coach aid program.

3 in a row.. still rolling
Last night, the Belgium squad managed to win the game in an easier way than the score shows it. The WC final was labeled as the match between a great team and a good manager. The matched showed that the game faced too great teams and a good manager on the Belgian side.
It's hard for me to be objective, but i can't get over with it. As the Romanian NT manager you have to be aware that a win was posible. And although Spain, Italy or Lithuania have a bunch of really talented players, Romania has some smart trained guys. Nederlands is doing it too, they have a small pool of players so they decided to take care of them with any means. So, most of you thought and still think that Belgium is too good for the others. That's half true.. Romania was closer than you can think.
The match was won by Belgium due to a great defensive management. Offensive threats like Badoiu or Stefanescu strugled all night. A team that averaged around 90 points was kept a little above 50. Romania did well also, the defensive focus helped keeping the game within reach. At this point Belgium had better one on one players..that brought them the victory, they managed to get the tactical factor out of the equation.
The Romanian side was predictable.. that's what lost the match. BdB expected Badoiu to catch and shoot and stefanescu too toss his strength under the hoop, and coordinated aerts-tremerie and huby-christodo-bulcke almost perfect. Even so.. Romania lacked enough versatility as the big guys can't rebound that well that they can supply their own shots and the small guys can't defend without being def focused.
In conclusion, Belgium deserved this victory because they worked hard for it. Hopefully Romania will have another chance at the title... they will not miss it the second time.
