minutes after coming on
as a second-half
substitute. The game was
played in the town of
Baltoesti, north of

but he never regained
consciousness. The striker
had been playing in
Romania since 2007 when

I heard the news on a sport radio station and i was really sad.not because he is young or anything but beacause i hate death.
the guy was part of the future we were hoping would do us proud at a future date but nw he is gone.rest in peace.
I'm so angry.I'm tired of this heart breaking news of players collapsing on the pitch.Don't they test them before they get on the pitch?
