The Spaniards gave a gala description to Radu, being considered one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga and the club's most consistent footballer, taking into account the sure developments.

“He is Celta's most consistent player this season, one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga, decisive for the team through interventions and saved penalties.

The Romanian international is a true football traveler, especially in Italy, and now he wants stability at Celta. He is open, funny and speaks excellent Spanish, even though he has only been in Spain for four months,” reads the description of the Spaniards.

And Radu is fully enjoying the peace he has at Celta, peace that also brought him a starting position in the national team. But the road to this point has been full of obstacles and failures.

“I'm very happy and very proud, but especially for the team, because we have a very good season. We have to continue at this pace and want even more.

When I was told that Celta were interested in me, I immediately told my agent that it was the team I wanted to join. I am here and I am very happy.

In life nothing is certain, you have to work for what you want. I came with a lot of humility, knowing that it is a top club and that you have to work to earn your place. We have three good goalkeepers, the competition is healthy and the final decision belongs to the coach.

I was at Inter, but I spent many years on loan, and that affected me a bit. For a loan player it is more difficult to find his place. Now I'm happy because I found constancy,” said Radu.

I have great faith in the team. We have a group that wants to do things right. We just have to pay attention to the small details. We want a good ranking in the championship and to get as far as possible in Europe. This is our goal.

Honestly, I didn't know I was being followed by Celta. They came to see me at the match with Fiorentina and that's when I found out. It was a good match and we were lucky, we won.

I read books in Spanish and use the translator. I prefer to talk and make mistakes, that's how I learn. That's how I learned Spanish.
