Romanian
\nfootballer Bogdan Stancu, currently playing for the Turkish team Bursaspor, has
\ndecided to retire from the national team. 30-year old Stancu is Romanian
\nnational team’s best active scorer, with 14 goals on his record sheet. Dinamo’s
\nmidfielder Gabriel Torje is the runner-up footballer in this rankings, with a
\nrecord of 11 goals.<\/p>\n

Bodgan Stancu has
\nmade public an open letter, from which we quote: It is with profound regret
\nthat I announce, through this open letter, my retirement from the National Team
\nof Romania. I must admit it was rather hard to make such a decision, but I
\nthought time had come for me to focus more on my career as a footballer with
\nthe club I have been signed up by, and, more importantly, to dedicate more time
\nto my family. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Bogdan Stancu was
\nRomanian national team’s only scorer in Euro 2016, the last time when the
\nnational squad competed in a final tournament. Stancu scored one goal in the
\ngame Romania lost to France, 1-2, as well as another goal, when Romania drew
\nagainst Switzerland, 1-all. <\/p>\n

Striker Florin
\nAndone, currently signed up by the Spanish side Deportivo La Coru\u00f1a, has been
\nselected footballer of the month in January 2018, by the fans of his team. In
\nfavor of Florin Andone went 77 per cent of the 4,594 votes posted on Twitter.
\nSecond-placed was Spaniard Adri\u00e1n, with 15 per cent of the votes, while the
\nPortuguese Luisinho, with 8 per cent of the votes, came in third. In the
\nongoing season, the Romanian footballer is Deportivo La Coru\u00f1a’s most efficient
\nscorer, with a record of six goals scored in 19 fixtures. We recall that
\nDeportivo transferred Andone in 2016, from Cordoba, for the sum of four million
\neuros. It was the biggest sum of money Deportivo had paid for a transfer up to
\nthat moment. <\/p>\n

The race for the
\ntop position at the helm of the Romanian Football Federation has taken a new
\nturn. Former footballer Adrian Mutu, who at international level is one of the
\nbest-known Romanian footballers in recent years, has announced his support for the
\ncandidacy of the Federation’s incumbent president Razvan Burleanu. At the
\nmoment, Mutu is the Romanian Football Federation’s sports manager. We recall
\nthat entering the race for the Federation’s presidency are former footballers
\nIonut lupescu and Marcel Puscas. (translated by Eugen Nasta)<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
