Cornel Țălnar (69 years old), former football player and coach at Dinamo, reacted after Andrei Nicolescu, the president of the “dogs”, stated that there are discussions for the sale of leaders Cătălin Cîrjan (23 years old) and Alexandru Musi (21 years old).
The former coach of the red and white team believes that it would be an unfortunate move for the club to sell the two.

“Unfortunately, that's it, they lost the European cups… Anyway, compared to the past years, Dinamo looked much better.
It's a shame that Petre and Kopic didn't stay. The Portuguese has come, we don't know what he is wearing, but we will wait and see. We have 2-3 years where great efforts were made and the qualification in Europe was not achieved.
Don't sell them! If they want to win a European Cup in the near future, Dinamo should not sell them. If we sell them too, it starts all over again and it's normal that you won't have performances.
When we were new in the field, we stayed with one team for eight years. Now, how does a player stand out, how do we sell him… If we do this job, forget about performances!”, said Cornel Țălnar, according to prosport.ro.
