Panțiru celebrated his birthday on March 22, and his wife, Alexandra, dedicated a special message to him on social networks.

“28. Maybe your knees are 38, maybe your soul still hurts from hearing ‘he’ll never play football again’, maybe the relentless work of the last years is pressing on your shoulders, of hopes, agony, fear and uncertainty.

Maybe your heart cried in many moments. Maybe you felt injustice and asked yourself ‘Why me, why me?’. Maybe you didn’t deserve all the torment, all the pain, or maybe it was all part of God’s great plan.

I know that these years hang heavy and I also know that all that follows for you is to collect the fruits, to enjoy every great moment that is being prepared for you!

Your ambition is contagious, your courage, your kindness and your passion for football define you. I, my love, wish you to be healthy, to let your soul dream, to enjoy every day that is given to you, to be the best version of you.

We, your family, thank you, appreciate you, love you and support you unconditionally. Happy birthday, Ionut!”was the message posted by Alexandra on her personal Instagram account.

MM Stoica found Ionuț Panțiru in the gym, on Christmas Eve

Through a social media post, MM Stoica told an incident that happened last Christmas Eve at the base of the FCSB. The club official went to check if everything was okay, but he came across Ionuț Panțiru, who was working extra to get back to the sport form before the serious injury.

“Short Christmas story

Sunday, Christmas Eve 2023. 1 p.m., deserted FCSB Base. I do a tour to see if everything is OK, the doors are locked, etc. At the gym I find the door unlocked. Until I call Ovidiu Kürti to reproach him, I see movement. Someone is training hard in the back.

Ionuț Panțiru was seriously injured more than 2 and a half years ago. Skeptics say there is little chance he will return to the field. But Ionuț Panțiru is not interested in pessimistic forecasts. He stubbornly refuses to accept that football is over for him at this age, and I’m convinced he’s right. Because sacrifices are rewarded. Always!

Yes, Ionuț Panțiru struggles with multi-functional machines at the gym, regardless of the day or time. They are fighting for him, for his beautiful family, but also for all the footballers who those who don’t know many details like that say are having fun being paid. It’s just that football, sport in general, is still like that.

Merry Christmas, Panti!

Merry Christmas everyone!“, wrote MM Stoica, on Facebook.
