Prime? A little, there is not much money (laugh). They didn't tell us anything, anyway. We are waiting.

There are also Adrian Voicu, Andrei David, who played at FC Argeș ”.
We are at a restaurant, we spend now. I would like to play at Liga 3, but I want to see if I can afford the program. I am a coach of children and I have daily training with them, plus I am an age, this summer I am 40 years old.
