Dinamo – Universitatea Craiova, the second semi-final of the Romanian Betano Cup, will be played on Thursday, April 23, starting at 20:30, at the National Arena. The Central Referee Commission (CCA) chose the referee for this match.

This is Marian Barbu, recently criticized by Sorin Cârțu, the honorary president of Olten. It happened at the beginning of March, after the “quarter” with CFR Cluj, won 3-1 after extra time.

Marian Barbu he has a FIFA badge and will be assisted by Mircea Grigoroiu and Imre-Laszlo Bucsi for the two touches. The fourth official was appointed Gabriel Mihuleac. Iulian Dima and Ovidiu Artene will be in the VAR room.

Craiova has never lost this season with Barbu at center, and Dinamo has not won any of the last four matches with this referee.

On March 4, in the “quarters” of the Romanian Cup, Marian Barbu eliminated Filipe Coelho, Olten's technician, after the Portuguese entered the field to celebrate the 3rd goal scored by Ștefan Baiaram, in the 118th minute.

The day after the match, Sorin Cârțu trashed him because of this decision.

There was a phase where Cordea slapped Baiaram and fell. He also had to give Baiaram a yellow for simulation.

I played once at FC Argeș and he gave the second yellow card to Crețu in the 20th minute. He left us with 10 men from the 20th minute! That's why I say about his dislike, Barbu doesn't like us at all. I said before that he looks like a referee, but why is he so closed and rigid?

Has anyone fined Pancu for entering the field after CFR scored? I also watch the championship, the whole bench leaves after a goal is scored. It's goal in the 117th minute, it was the moment of release, he had to understand the state of mind of Coelho.

He could easily get over that moment, but Barbu has never experienced such euphoric moments in his life.
