Tears for Costea
Florin Costea
Not the most popular guy in Craiova, Universitatea’s owner, Adrian Mititelu, the guy who decided to move the team to a different city (Severin) starting 2010, broke into tears on TV, when he was asked about Florin Costea’s injury! The guy could only say that he’s not able to talk and hung up, as the team’s best player faces a very long spell on the sidelines, after the injury suffered during the weekend. Fouled inside the box by Politehnica’s keeper Branet (the ref didn’t award a deserved penalty!), Costea had his left knee severely damaged and will stay away from the pitch for at least 7-8 months! It’s a huge blow for Universitatea, who is still waiting for right back Ovidiu Dananae to return from a similar injury suffered in August 2009…
Florin Costea has collected 106 appearances in the blue and white outfit, scoring 45 goals in the process, and this year he had featured in 20 matches, scoring 9 goals.

A shame considering that he is arguably the best player in Romania right now.
