"Do you regret not playing at Steaua?". Adrian Mutu played the cards

Former striker Adrian Mutu (45 years old) explained how he chose to transfer to Dinamo from FC Argeș and talked about a possible regret of not going to the big rival, Steaua.

Adrian Mutu debuted in professional football in the jersey of FC Argeș. The developments of the former footballer quickly attracted the interest of the big clubs of the time. Of these, Dinamo was the one that managed to obtain the services of “Brilliant”, which he transferred just a few months after his debut.

Adrian Mutu: “I didn’t know much about Dinamo”

The former Romanian international arrived in Ștefan cel Mare at the age of 21. Adrian Mutu talked about the process by which he chose which of the two great rivals from Bucharest to transfer to, and revealed that he does not regret not ending up in Stela’s court.

“ (no Do you regret not playing at Steaua?) No. I played at Dinamo, which is at the same level. For me, Steaua is not necessarily the most titled team in Romania. When I was young, Steaua was in a good time. Of course we were watching. There were players like Marius Lăcătuș or Ilie Dumitrescu.

I didn’t know much about Dinamo. The moment I arrived at Dinamo and won the Cup and the championship, I didn’t regret it at all.

I found out, reading the history of the club, that Dinamo rises to the level of Stela. I realized this. Without any kind of problem”, said Adrian Mutu for Fanatik .

In 37 matches played in the red-white shirt, “Brilliant” scored 30 goals and won two trophies, the championship and the Romanian cup, in the 1999-2000 season.
