Claudiu Voikulets admits he was the best in Viitorul – ASA Tirgu Mures 6-1

In an interview with Gazeta Sporturilor, the former ASA football player (now 37 years old) said that he then asked for a replacement because he was disgusted by what was happening on the field.

“I know a lot, but unfortunately it was… I hated it the most on earth. I left Tirgovishte, played eight matches in the second league. They disbanded, I was promoted to the first team. There were eight matches… man… (arranged). After that I went to Constanta and thought I had escaped.

I said to myself, “Oh, maybe it was because it was League 2. People are like that, but maybe not the same everywhere.” It was the same in Constanta. If you want to see who they are (without the mudslingers), it’s very easy to see them. If any one can say of me what I have done… I dare put my hand into the fire, which I have never done.

I wanted to go to halftime in this match (No. Viitorul – Tg. Mureș, score 6-1). And I got out in a minute… I don’t know anymore (it didn’t work out on the 57th). I left with the team, I don’t know who was the coach anymore (without George Chorcheri). That was it, yes. The phone rang the night before so they could all argue.

That’s it, there are more. But I think it happens everywhere. I wanted not to participate, that’s all. The rest… happens, get angry. I said it then, this is an interview. I said I came here to… if I had known, I wouldn’t have gone. I’ve come a long way.

Then everything was just like that… I don’t know how you can look someone in the eye again after that” – Claudiu Voikulets for GSP.

Claudio Voikulec played for some time for teams such as Farul Constanta, Curtia de Arges International, Panduri Tirgu Giu, CFR Cluj and ASA Tirgu Mures.

The future did not keep its word

After reports of suspicious odds fluctuations for this match appeared in the media, Viitorul accused the press of a campaign against the club and said he would never contact a bookmaker.

“We notice that there is a tendency on the part of the daily newspaper to speculate and direct our club’s betting participation based on the message from FederBet (FC Viitorul – ASA Tg. Mureș match betting fluctuations and all).

We regret to state that all these deviations tend to spoil and degrade the image of our club, suggesting some evil, and they occur before the start of the new competitive season and before the debut of our club in the European Cups.

FROM THE BEGINNING, our club did not have, does not have, and will not have any cooperation or partnership with bookmakers.” This is stated in the press release of the Viitorul club.

In February 2021, Viitorul signed a sponsorship contract with Superbet bookmaker.
