Răzvan Marin, a case of Files X: How it came to be cataloged by Italian journalists

Răzvan Marin (24 years old) is an X-Files football case! In Belgium, for a respectable team, Standard Liege, the Romanian became the leader on the field and was later sold to Ajax for 12.5 million euros.

It happened in July 2019 and, reaching the most gallant team in the Netherlands, the sky seemed to be the limit for the midfielder formed in Viitorul. Unfortunately, from here began, in fact, the decline of the Romanian who, in a whole season, collected only ten appearances with the “lancers” shirt, in the Eredivisie. Under these conditions, the transfer of Marín to Cagliari, in September, was not surprising at all, with the Italians having the option of permanently transferring him, in July 2021, for the amount of 10 million euros. But what is happening now, both with the team ranked 15 of 20 in Serie A, and with Răzvan Marin, it is hard to believe that the Italians activate this clause.

First of all, on Sunday night Cagliari reached eight straight games in the championship, without a win, being crushed at home by Napoli, score 1-4! The team prepared by Eusebio Di Francesco (51 years old) won the last time in Serie A, on the 7th stage, on November 7! Since then, he has accumulated four draws and four losses. And he reached three points in 18th place, the first to lead in Serie B.

On the field in all these eight games, Răzvan Marin was pointed the finger, after the failure with Napoli, by the CagliariNews journalists: “The Romanian midfielder does not change the game at all. Your contribution helps neither on defense nor on offense. He lets Nandez run the length and breadth of the field and never plays a vertical ball to change the game. “

And the “Gazzetta dello Sport” rated it 4.5, abolishing it with a brief characterization: “Weaker than usual, it was a kind of ghost on the field.”
