Bulgarian squad Ludogorets Razgrad’s chances to go through to the European spring have significantly diminished in the wake of this past Wednesday’s Champions League round. With two Romanian footballers in their lineup, in a home fixture counting towards the League’s Group A, Ludogorets were held to a blank draw by Swiss contenders FC Basle. Cosmin Moti was on the pitch all throughout the game, and got yellow-booked in minute 84. The other Romanian footballer playing for Ludogorets, Claudiu Keseru was a full-timer, being on the pitch before added time, when he was replaced by Ukrainian Igor Plastun.



Ludogorets put on a lackluster performance, failing to create major opportunities to score, and in the Champions League‘s next round they will have a distance fight with Basel, to be able to secure the 3rd place in the group, which entitles Ludogorets to a place in Europa League’s round of last 32. On December 6th, Ludogorets Razgrad take on PSG away from home, while FC Basel face Arsenal on home turf.

One week ahead of Romanian football’s all-time derby pitting Steaua against Dinamo, the latter club is yet again facing serious legal problems. A week ago, the Bucharest Court imposed a precautionary distraint upon the shares the main financier Ionut Negoita holds in the Dinamo club. The ruling is grounded in Negoita’s two-million Euro pending debt to the former president of Dinamo’s managing board Nicolae Badea. According to Digisport, Badea has officially banned Negoita from using the Dinamo brand-name as well as the fcdinamo.ro Internet domain. Digisport also said there are rumors about Nicolae Badea trying to take back the club from Negoita. That’s all from Football Flash this week. (Translated by E. Nasta)
