CFR CLUJ. The champion makes a stop on her national team! The reinforcements requested by Dan Petrescu arrive

CFR does not stop transferring even more than one month after the end of the market period. He hit hard in defense, due to the injuries of Cestor, who will be absent until spring, and Vinicius, a muscle injury, the champion managed to give a great blow. He convinced a footballer with a very good resume to come and play Gruia.

Astra propelled him to great football

This is Ben Youssef, who also played in League 1, at Astra Giurgiu, where he arrived after coming from the 3rd league in England, from Leyton Orient!

Between 2012 and 2015, the Tunisian scored almost 100 games for Astra, with which he achieved excellent results: he won two trophies, the Romanian Cup and the Super Cup, both after beating FCSB in the table trophy match, he was runner-up in Liga 1 in 2013-2014, and in one season they qualified in the Europa League groups, after the Giurgiu team eliminated Lyon. Precisely because of Astra’s excellent performances, Ben Youssef was also called up to the Tunisian national team, where he made his debut in October 2013.

With the representative of his country he went to the World Cup in Russia, 2 years ago, where he started in two of the 3 group games: 1-2 with England and 2-5 with Belgium.

Ben Youssef, incumbent in France and Turkey

After leaving Astra, he rose to the level at which he evolved. He first wore the Caen shirt, in the first league in France, after which he arrived in Turkey, in Kasimpașa, where in two and a half years he played almost all the games as a starter.

At the beginning of this year he arrived at Denizlispor, where he did not prevail and scored only 4 games throughout the year, his last appearance being more than 4 months ago, on June 28. Ben Youssef is expected to arrive in Gruia on Tuesday, where he will sign the contract and take over from Dan Petrescu. He will have the right to play, until the end of 2020, only in the matches of the internal competition, not in the Europa League group.

50% of the CFR Cluj group is over 30 years old!

Ben Youssef fits perfectly into Dan Petrescu’s strategy: a player with great experience and an advanced age. The Tunisian will be the fourteenth footballer of the current selection who is at least 30 years old. The other 13 are Bălgrădean, Sandomierski, Vinicius, Camora, Latovlevici, Chipciu, Deac, Luis Aurelio, Pereira, Soares, Djokovici, Rondon and Hoban, the last one will turn 38 in a month !!! Also, Ben Youssef will be the 15th foreigner!
