Valeriu Rakita (52), a former Stela defender, spoke live on GSP Live about his experience in North Korea, where he played with the Romanian Olympic team.

It all happened in 1987, when this Asian country was still under the control of Kim Il Sung, the founder of the communist country. The former football player said that the shops were empty and for 3 weeks they ate only rice and bread.

“During the trip with the wooden train, we had to play in another area, and in that car, which we call the restaurant car, they brought us several bowls with pieces of meat in a reddish sauce.

We were very hungry and ate with this rice and that sauce. We were crazy. After that, the translator told us in French, since he didn’t speak Romanian, that it was carne de “le chien”.

Raducioiu, who was next to me, says to me: “What did he say, Vivi?” “It’s like a dog” He immediately went to the toilet. He also ripped the checkmate out of him, poor thing,” Rakita said.
