Radu Petrescu, delegate to Rapid – FCSB
At the two coughs, Radu Petrescu will be helped by the coughs Vasile Marinescu and Ovidiu Artene. In the Var room, there will be Ovidiu Hațegan, while the fourth official was delegated George Găman. The referee observer of this party is Augustus Constantin.
Radu Petrescu also led the match on March 2, counting for the return of the regular season, between Rapid and FCSB. Then the game consumed on the National Arena, and the two teams finished without a goal scored, white draw, score 0-0.
However, the match was not protected from problems, Radu Petrescu being criticized for the decisions taken. The red-blue ones were the ones who complained about the way he refereeed the duel, after Petrescu eliminated Joyskim Dawa, who gave him two yellow cards within 4 minutes. At the first card shown, Petrescu made the decision at the assistant's insistence, which was not forgiven after the match.
“I did not think that Radu Petrescu wanted to tilt the balance at this match. I suspect him with bad intention on Ghinguleac. He has no logical explanation for which he does not signal the yellow card in Manea and he does at a phase that he did not impose.
For his part, Marius Șumudică, the coach of the Rapid, accused Radu Petrescu before that match, considering that he has certain dislikes towards his team.
I also ask question marks. Why has Radu Petrescu have not been delegated to any match of the Rapid so far? Radu Petrescu could never be delegated to Rapid's matches, I know what's in Radu Petrescu's soul, I know who to sympathize with and I know what teams have dislikes.
I know from more people who revolve in football. I heard what the antipathies of him are and I heard that he has an dislike of Rapid Bucharest. Now I don't know if it's true
