Marius Mitrita hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Viitorul can pretend not to have heard.

Viitorul are at home on the road
3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Nobody could get near Razvan Mitrita
Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
