И док по завршетку Мундијала сви причају о лепоти игре, за Лаурентиу Гингина то није довољно. По њему, фудбал мора да се модификује, рационализује, ослободи ограничења, углови да се преобликују у полукругове, играчи распореде у зоне и подтимове и норме преиспитају. Да су правила фудбала погрешна, схватио је давно када га је током утакмице у младости играч супарничког тима тако јако шутнуо да му је сломио цеваницу. Лаурентин данас ради неинспиративан посао општинског бирократе, па није чудо што гаји невероватну страст према новој тј. својој верзији фудбала. Сви путеви воде фудбалу, али и од њега – ка земљопоседништву, до плантажа поморанџи на Флориди, ка политичким утопијама и траговима које оставља живот на све нас. И то све кроз нове верзије фудбала 2.0, 3.1, 4.7. Све до бесконачности. They talk about the beautiful game, but for Laurentiu Ginghina, it's not enough. Football must be modified, streamlined, freed from restraints; corners are to be rounded off, players assigned to zones and subteams, norms revised. In retrospect, he first realized that the rules of football were wrong when he was tackled during a game in his youth, in the summer holidays, on another pitch now covered in snow, but in Vaslui, not Bucharest. The tackle hit so hard it fractured his fibula, a year later his tibia broke too, on New Year's Eve 1987, he had to walk home in the snow and no one helped him. Today he's a local bureaucrat with an uninspiring job, it's no wonder he prefers to talk about the game, his own version of it, to Porumboiu, his friend, the director, who's always listening, asking questions, nearly always in frame. Ginghina's monologues are so rich you might think someone wrote them in advance, they proceed from the same old subject, but never stay in one place. All roads lead to football, but all roads lead away from it too, to land ownership issues, to orange farms in Florida, to political utopia and the traces left by life, to version 2.0, 3.1, 4.7, to infinity.
