The Digi Sport expert told, LIVE at Digi Sport, what kind of football player “Didi” was, as his friends and colleagues of his generation caressed him.

"I loved him very much. He was a child, I think we played together the first time he was 18-19, at Steaua. I was struck by the fact that it integrated extremely, extremely quickly.

He was the kind of player who, not only did he give his all, he always gave 100%, but he had an incredible soul. From the first training he showed a lot of ambition, he did not protect anyone. He evolved without any stress, he had no pity for anyone. Any attack on dispossession was at the limit of the regulation.

I tempered him before. Didi, calm, Yes, he apologized, he was a calm guy, extremely polite ", recalled Ilie Dumitrescu, present in the studio of the show" Digi Sport Special ".
