Mark: “In a match in 2015, Colțescu received 7 red cards and 13 yellow cards”

He began his career in 2006, but was demoted a year later due to controversial benefits. In 2008, he became a top referee again. According to Jaime Sandoval, from La Octava Sports, Colțescu tried to commit suicide twice. With only one match refereed this season in the European Cups, the pivot was heavily contested two weeks ago in Romania, after numerous questionable decisions taken in the Gaz Metan – FCSB match (no score 2-3).

Some time ago, Gigi Becali harshly criticized Colțescu:>. Two of the most famous incidents involving Colțescu took place in 2013 and 2015. The first, in a match between Petrolul and Gaz Metan, the referee sanctioned 7 red cards and 13 yellow cards. After one of the eliminations, there was a physical contact between the center and the respective player.

In 2015, in an Astra – Steaua match, Colțescu disallowed three goals for the guests, and after an extremely hard tackle from an Astra player, he showed only one yellow card. Former referee Ion Crăciunescu believes that this incident will negatively affect Romania:>. Adrian Porumboiu also stated that “Colțescu’s entire career is full of dark moments.”

Instead, Cristian Balaj, the most important Romanian referee in the history of FIFA, currently president of the anti-doping agency in Romania, defended Sebastian Colțescu:<Îl știu foarte bine, nu a jignit niciodată pe nimeni în funcție de culoarea pielii, religie sau altceva. Este foarte respectuos cu toți jucătorii. Oricum, această situație putea fi evitată și va fi un exemplu pentru toți arbitrii>>“, is shown in the Brand article.
