The defeat at Botošan (0-1) caused great disappointment in the Craiova University camp, and the club even fined one of the players for a gesture they considered unprofessional.

Raul Silva is fined for looking at his mobile phone on the bench

Raul Silva, who was brought to Bany on a free transfer in the summer of 2022, scored during the match between Botosani and Universitat Craiova after being caught with a mobile phone on the bench.

The Brazilian came on as a substitute and was not even brought onto the field during the game.

On one occasion, the Olten defenseman was spotted looking at his cell phone during a live game broadcast.

Until now, the financier of the team “University of Craiova” Mihai Rotaru fined his player, saying that his gesture affected the image of the club.

“This is not professional behavior! He put a black mark on our club in every way. He was fined and said he took out his phone just to check the time.

He wasn’t allowed, he had no reason to look for his phone in his pocket. We are very saddened by this situation.

The only possible excuse is that he was injured and is not ready to play in this match anyway. It was clear that there was no chance that he would play, he was simply outnumbered.

You can say he was switched off, but you have to enjoy and suffer with your teammates.” – he said for Fanatik.
