Daniel Florea had announced before the match that this would be the last match of his career. Even if he has a championship title in his record, won with Astra in 2016, for Daniel Florea this is not the most important moment. But Chindia's promotion to the Super League, from 2019, is considered by the footballer to be the most beautiful moment in his career.
Originally from Târgoviște, Florea collected 211 matches, 57 goals and 19 decisive assists in the Dâmbovița shirt.
Daniel Florea: “The promotion with Chindia was the most beautiful moment in my career”

“I'm very confident in my own way. I think the 8-9 defeats also came from the fact that we knew we were going to play the play-off, so we sacrificed some points. We had to prepare for the play-off games, and the last two games in the play-offs we already played with the play-off in mind. They were games sacrificed for the play-off.
It was the last match of my career. I'm not mad, I did my best. After I was changed, it was no longer up to me. That's it, the team that launched me in League 1 stayed in the first league.
The happiest moment of my career was when I was promoted with Chindia to the first league, just over the title won with Astra. When you do things in a place where you put your soul and you have family members and people who love you by your side, that weighs more than a medal”, said Daniel Florea, at Prima Sport.
