Ionuț Radu was integral in the defeat suffered by Celta Vigo against Alaves, score 3-4, and finished without being able to step on my foot. Its first problems appeared in the 62nd minutewhen he asked for the intervention of the medical team, but continued to the end without asking for a change.
Although his coach was prepared to change the goalkeeper, Radu gritted his teeth and stayed between the sticks until the end. After the final whistle, he was helped off the field by his teammates.
And it was these details that made the FCSB official look confused at what happened. Mihai Stoica can't explain how Radu ended the match on his feet, and later he couldn't even walk.
Mihai Stoica, seeing the images with Ionuț Radu: “It seems to me…”
“Anyway, it's strange what Ionuţ Radu does, if he has a tear at the end of the match, that he can't put his foot down, he was in the same situation a minute before, that it didn't happen in the last seconds, it didn't get worse in the last seconds, he was injured in the goal.
It seems to me… especially since it's also this match, please. Mircea Lucescu knows that he is not very happy that the players go to Marijana Kovacevic, I know that he told me at one point.
It depends on the size of the tear. It takes time, the procedure he does takes a certain amount of time, but it's painful, I understand. Celta Vigo must agree, Mircea Lucescu must agree”, said MM Stoica, on Sunday evening, after Ionuț Radu's injury, on the “Footbal Show” show, on Prima Sport.

MM Stoica: “I would take Târnovanu”
Asked who he would urgently call to the lot, in the context where the chances of Ionuț Radu still being fit sound slim, MM Stoica named the goalkeeper from FCSB, Ștefan Târnovanu.
“I would take Târnovanu as the third goalkeeper. Târnovanu is also 2 meters tall (laughs),” said MM Stoica.
However, on Sunday evening Mircea Lucescu made the decision that Laurențiu Popescu, the goalkeeper from Craiova University, should be called to the lot.
