Club career

[edit]

Florentin Petre was born on 15 January 1976 in Bucharest, Romania, growing up and starting to play football in the town of Popești-Leordeni until 1988 when he went to play at the youth center of Victoria București.[3][4] After the 1989 Romanian Revolution, Victoria was dissolved, so Petre was taken by coach Ionuț Chirilă to the youth center of Dinamo București where he eventually started his senior career, playing his first Divizia A match for the senior squad on 15 October 1994 in a 2–0 victory over Universitatea Cluj in which he opened the score in the 3rd minute.[3][4][5] He was loaned to UTA Arad in the second half of that season, playing 8 Divizia A matches in which he scored one goal.[3][6] He helped Dinamo win The Double in the 1999–2000 season, being used by coach Cornel Dinu in 22 league matches in which he scored 7 goals, including one in a 3–2 victory in a derby against Steaua București which helped them mathematically win the title.[3][7][8] In 2000 Petre contracted hepatitis C and had an accident while fishing in the Danube Delta when he touched an electricity wire with his fishing rod and almost lost his life, these events put him on the sideline for almost two seasons, but he still managed to bring his contribution to the winning of the 2001–02 title by scoring one goal in 10 appearances.[3][9][10][11][12][13][14] Also his hepatitis problem made Spanish club, Alavés give up on his transfer even do he had a precontract signed with them.[4][15] He helped Dinamo win The Double again, playing 24 games and scoring 4 goals under the guidance of coach Ioan Andone in the 2003–04 Divizia A season.[3][7] He also represented The Red Dogs in European competitions, playing 32 games in which he scored 6 goals (including 3 appearances in the Intertoto Cup), being part of the team that with coach Andone eliminated Everton with a historical 5–2 on aggregate in which he scored a goal, reaching the 2005–06 UEFA Cup group stage.[3][16][17] Petre spent a total of 12 seasons at Dinamo in which he scored 43 goals in 259 Divizia A appearances, winning three titles, five cups and one supercup.[3]
