Info:

Born on August 10, 1898 in Cuvin (Serbia). International "A". He began playing football in his hometown, from where he left for Cluj, in 1920, towards the University, a team in which he played in parallel to his studies at the Faculty of Economic Sciences. He played for the "U" until 1930, with a break in the period 1925-1929, when he played successively for Unirea Timișoara, UCAS Petroșani and Jiul Lupeni.


During this period he is one of the basic components of the national team, in which he played in all attacking positions, being selected 12 times in the first representative team. The unforgettable thing is that he was a starter in the Romanian national team's first official match and at the same time captain. He participated in the Paris Olympic Games in 1924.


A footballer with great speed and an extraordinary shot, some specialists consider him one of the most valuable products of Romanian football of all time. He died young, in a tragic accident, in 1939, in Timisoara.

Aurel Guga wore the armband in Romania's first official match, in 1922, against Yugoslavia (2-1). The forward from the university took part in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Guga was considered by all specialists of the time as one of the most valuable products of Romanian football of all time. He died tragically, drowned in Bega, at only 39 years old, after a traffic accident.
The chroniclers of the time described Aurel Guga as the prototype of the modern footballer. A player “with speed, a strong shot, a combination game”. In his book "The final is played today", published in 1967, Ioan Chirila lists a national line-up of all time: Voinescu, Vogl, Apolzan, Vintila, Petschovschi, Bindea, Guga, Baratki, Petea, Vilcov, Dobay. Few people know that Guga, a former striker for the University of Cluj, was the first captain of the "national team" in Romania's first official international match on 8 June 1922 against Yugoslavia, even scoring the winning goal in the 61st minute, 2-1.
Guga was born in 1900 in Cuvin, a commune in Banat, finished high school in Oravita and then moved to Lugoj, where he made his debut with the local team Vulturii, alongside Giurgiu and Bonciucat, two other former student stars. Wanting to attend the Commercial Academy in Cluj, Guga ended up playing football at the University. At the age of 22, Guga's talent as a footballer began to emerge, quickly garnering praise from the media of the time. |In January 1922, a Viennese magazine, "Panorama", devoted almost a page to him, with a large photograph, writing him as "an exceptional striker".
In a monograph dedicated to the student club, Cluj historian Gheorghe Bodea even mentions a testimony by Rudy Wetzer, a former striker for the Chinese and colleague in the "national team", about the power of Guga's shot in the match against Yugoslavia in 1926, with the score 3-2. "Guga got rid of Premel and runs like Peter (100-meter record holder). Rodin attacks by sliding, but Guga jumps like a triple jump, flies towards the ball and volleys. The ball hits the crossbar, which shakes. I was there! Then it hits the goal line again. What strength Guga had!
In his time, the supremacy in football was held by the Chinese Timisoara, from where most of the national team was chosen. Guga always made a name for himself among the inhabitants of Timisoara and was then appointed captain of the "tricolors" for years in a row. During October-November 1923, "U" Cluj made its first tour abroad, being invited to France by the authorities of Grenoble for the inauguration of the city stadium. The Cluj players played for the first time in Lyon with a team from the city, winning 5-2. Guga scored three goals. The next day, the French press He praised his progress and wrote that he was a world-class player. Precisely because the idea of ​​an England-Rest of the Continent match was then foreshadowed, the French proposed him for the European team.
In Grenoble, the "students" made an unforgettable match, with a score of 3-0. Guga once again enchanted the French, with a magnificent performance, crowned with two goals. After graduating from university in 1925, he played for a short period at Petrosani, after which he returned to his first love, the University of Cluj, where he played until 1930. He left Cluj after almost a decade to play for Banatul Timisoara. Appointed financial administrator of the city of Bega, Guga died in 1939 in a tragic car accident. |in his wake, only the stories and memories of those who knew him remained: "In the first period, we had Guga and Wetzer, in the second, Baratki and Bindea, and in the third, Bazil Marian, Petschovschi and Constantin. But who is the greatest of all time? Well, sir, no other Guga was born!"

"The greatest artist I know is Guga because at his feet the ball sounds and the grass creaks to humiliate," Traian Grozavescu, tenor of the Cluj Opera in the 1930s.

"Guga was one of the greatest interpreters that this land gave. ours. And perhaps the most complete. And the most modern," in the book "Finala se joacatazi"

Grozavescu, punished by U

One of the most fervent defenders of Guga was, perhaps, the tenor of the Cluj Opera, Traian Grozavescu, the greatest Romanian tenor of all time. He was never absent from U Cluj matches, coming into conflict with the management of the Opera. When he was absent from performances, the director of the Opera, Popovici-Bayreuth, began to intentionally schedule him every Sunday from 3 pm, with Paiate and Cavaleria Rusticana. During the breaks, he would call to find out what his favourites were doing, and the music-loving public present in the hall knew the good or bad mood of the tenor, determined also by the latest signals from behind the scenes, whether U Cluj was leading or being led on the field.

According to the information I found about this player, I realized that he is almost the same as Vaclav Pilat but unlike him, Guga moves more and has a little less precision in his passes, I leave it to the interpretation of others.

suggestion

I think your statistics provided are more spot on, except for agility, it was a classic 10, I realized that the majority do not have great agility and especially at that time where Guga played, there are stories that say he had the endurance physical to play in any attacking position so the resistance at 79 or 80 looks good in my opinion.

Hey Biondi, I found extra information about Guga in the Wayback Machine and a very strange page, I updated the information in the main thread, I'm also surprised that this guy ran more than 100 meters when he was closest to a profile similar to Pilat.

After spending sometime for finding some sources, I found out that all the descriptions about his play style are mainly from 'Sepcile Rosii' by Ion Chirila. Maybe if someone has the book, he may have more information. Guga was famous for speed (compared to some world record runner at that time) and almighty shot as well as shot technique, beside considered as 'greatest artist' (Not sure about this because it's in Romanian). Then I dont know why you gave him low TS and ACC as well as focusing so much on his passing stats which are never mentioned anywhere. Additionally, considered Romanian professional status at that time as well as he was a student, I'm not sure whether he deserved green in stamina, or yellow in consistency.

so you'd make him more similar to Gradin than Pilat ?

Yes, If you want me to choose.

This source metioned that he played as a right wing forward, sometime as a right defender.

If I start to think about it, it would be similar to Petrone, but with more technique and in terms of resistance, it is a bit low even to emulate it in Pes, there was a time when I had the same problem with Carricaberry that they had put resistance 69 and Wow, just one bite that I made was already a stream.

but I wonder if his kick should be on par with Ştefan DOBAY

Or wow, you have the link, I was just looking for it, I lost it when I closed its tab by chance, in the one with the pass I read it in an info made on a blog, but apparently I got confused with its technical quality, sometimes the translation into Spanish It alters the information a lot.

In the case of his technique, in all the texts I read about him, he always mentions that "he is a juggler" full of praise, now perhaps the only thing I can tell you is that this player could also be in any attacking position ( I will remove MO since at that time this position was not common)

The truth is I have the book 'Sepcile Rosii' by Ion Chirila but it is in Romanian to translate it it will take me about a few days
