FC Voluntari – Unirea Slobozia 2-1. Florentin Pandele (64 years old), the mayor of Voluntari, had a great dissatisfaction after the tour of the maintenance/promotion in Superliga. Specifically, the politician was disturbed by the wicked comments that were made on the edge of the anchor that the Ilfovian team has on the logo.
Announced that it will change it if this aspect disturbs so much. During the intervention he stated that he also takes into account the withdrawal of the team from Superliga if he will promote.
He later returned to the statements, explaining that he has no way to do this. In any case, Pandele It was extremely vocal and very disturbed by the subject of the anchor on the volunteer logo.
Florentin Pandele did not abstain after volunteers – Unirea Slobozia: “I remain with this anger”
“If all the trouble of Romanian football is in the volunteer logo, then I will ask to find another solution. I have such a big annoyance, believe me … I do not want to intervene, but in all the 8 or 9 years since the volunteer was in the first league, I do not think I have given more than 2-3 times to defend myself.
I can't take those in the volunteers and pepper and take them to the stadium. If they come, it's very good. If I don't come, I have nothing to do. As long as, in our city, they are supporters of FCSB, Star, Dinamo, Rapid, Craiova … It's not my fault.
Let's see whether or not it is worth keeping the big team in the first league. We have hundreds of children who come and prepare, some even day by day. Let us leave them an open gate, before probably reaching Dinamo or other teams that have performed. If not for the big team, at least at the second team of Voluntari.
I am very upset, I remain with my anger to the comments that are made about the anchor. I, as a former ship commander, who I stayed for 13 years at sea, I am proud.
But at the same time, I am bitter that these things are taken in the man. I promised you: you will see that the anchor will no longer exist on the chest. There are few teams from the first league that have the infrastructure that the volunteer has.
Last year I stayed in the field for more than 3 months and, together with the team I lead from the town hall, I built two more grass lands. Looks like a billiard meal! We played for 2 years in Chiajna, Dinamo, after which we made our infrastructure and gathered Banuț with Banu ”, said Pandele, at the first sport 1.
Well, can I get the team? I can't do that. It is not Florentin Pandele's team, it is the team of Voluntari. But maybe, if I'm no longer mayor, someone else says: «Dom'le, I do not want to invest in sports, basketball, volleyball.»
Voluntariul won the National Female Volleyball last year! We have results that has no other club in Romania, from a sports point of view. We are not football champions, but what else can I say? Ask any coach if Pandele got involved in playing X, Y or Z. I don't even go to the stadium.
