Mircea Rednic does everything possible to save UTA from relegation, and the last decision made could endanger the relationship with Dinamo. Cristian Mihai (20 years old), the new acquisition of “dogs”, which will join the people of Bucharest in the summer, will be sent to the field in the duel with Petrol, in which the Aradians hope to impose themselves to escape the emotions of the last two rounds in the Super League.
The defensive midfielder recovered in Bucharest, at the insistence of the dynamovist leadership, after the muscular breaking that threatened the player's presence at Euro U21, in June.
Mihai not only returned immediately to the “old lady” trainers, but will be used, although the diagnosis of doctors removed any chance to catch minutes until the end of the season.
Mircea Rednic forces the use of Cristian Mihai, Dinamo's new transfer
“It is a bigger break and it will take more recovery, but it is young and it has to recover faster. Now I do not want to be with the thought that the European Championship will not be caught,” said “Purul” two weeks ago.
Located with the bone knife after the 3-0 defeat, in front of Hermannstadt, Rednic is now willing to risk. The UTA coach claims that he has the acceptance of doctors.
“Mihai has returned and trains normally, we have the doctor's acceptance and from the clinic he was, but also from our doctor. It depends on what decision we will make. Either risk and enter with him or he will play during the match, but it is a good thing that we have him.
It has to be connected, it has the interest to play well if he wants to reach the European Championship and he knows that I do not only put him for the sake of putting him, “said the technician before the duel on his own ground, scheduled from 5:30 pm, in the seventh stage of the play-out.
I'll talk to him, the doctor first. Everyone has to respond present for this match, whether or not it is one hundred percent.

Dinamo treated at her expense
At the beginning of April, the midfielder with 26 presence in the current season, in Superliga, was injured in a match with FC Botosani. Cristian Mihai went to Bucharest for treatment, and was then present at the National Arena, at Dinamo – CFR Cluj. The “dogs” sent him to the partner clinic for medication, at their expense, information presented by ProSport.
The dynamo management paid 350,000 euros for Mihai's transfer and offered 20% of a possible sale.

€ 750,000is Cristian Mihai's market share, according to the Transfermarkt specialty portal
Cristian Mihai is a player who, at least for the national team, has behaved extraordinary. It has a physical quality, it also has a good height and excellent effort. I hope it stays the same, it has a growth margin. It's just a bit good, so, for Bucharest … He's very quiet, he's innocent. In Bucharest it has to be a little worse, but he transforms, I am convinced. Plus he's a U21 player, Dinamo can use the next two seasons.
