Valentin Costache (27 years old), the midfielder from UTA Arad, scored the 2-0 goal in his team's victory, against Dinamo, in the round with number #21 in the Superliga. After the match, he surprised with the statement made in the interview.

The former Dynamo player, who grew up in Ștefan cel Mare, who played in the first team between 2015 and 2017, poured lead into the boots of Kopic's students with the success in the 66th minute.

Immediately after the goal by which UTA broke away in the match, there was an exuberant celebration from the former Dynamo player, who seemed to ignore his “red and white” past and did not moderate at all, unleashing himself in front of his own fans.

Valentin Costache surprised at the interview: “I'm sorry for scoring a goal”

Although he somehow seemed to be ostentatiously happy in front of his former team, Costache surprised at the flash-interview, saying with extreme sincerity that he was sorry for scoring against Dinamo.

“I told the boys in the dressing room that we have to give everything to win, they are very good. I am very happy to finish the year well. We hope to keep it that way, we have to, we have to. But Coman and Abdallah were both man of the match as well.

I grew up at Dinamo, in their spirit, I hope they don't get mad at me, I'm sorry that I gave them a goal. I'm sorry they lost to us today, I know how the spirit is there. I am doing a very good job now too. I was also at Dinamo, and at CFR, and at Rapid, but I still haven't forgotten the spirit of Dinamo and I still feel something for them, that's clear.

We are in good form, good morale, we have to keep it up, I see no reason not to stay the same. If we work and keep doing this, we also have our chances,” Valentin Costache said after the match, on the “Digi Sport Special” show from Digi Sport.
