Hermannstadt – Dinamo 1-2. Although he could not play, Matteo Duțu was in Sibiu with the “dogs”, and at the end he did a short training with his teammates who did not enter at all.
The 20-year-old central defender is Dinamo's latest transfer. Although he barely signed with the red-white team, he traveled to Sibiu, and after the match he “launched” with his teammates and left with the team for Bucharest.
Duțu was officially introduced to Dinamo on Friday, on the day of the game with Hermannstadt. He signed for 3 and a half years with the red-white team.
Andrei Nicolescu: “Matteo Duțu is very eager”
“I don't know what level Matteo Duțu is at, but he came to the match with us, and then he made pitches with those who didn't play, after which he left with the team. So he is very eager.
At first glance, he is the same kind of man as Nikita. He seems like a young man with a mature soul, he is very calm, wise, he has peace”, declared Andrei Nicolescu, on Prima Sport 1.
The title is not guaranteed with transfers, but with solutions. It doesn't matter the number, it matters the quality and the one who comes will be a solution for what Kopic is playing at this moment. We have enough valuable players, it's important what form they are in. We have players of value to beat us there.
– Andrei Nicolescu, president of Dinamo
Matteo Duțu will be the third central defender option, after the two starters in the defensive axis, Kennedy Boateng and Nikita Stoinov.
