Disgraced defender Valentin Nastase has revealed that his life has
become a living hell after giving up a decisive penalty which led
to Dinamo Bucharests exit from the Champions League preliminaries
at the hands of Lazio.
The 32-year-old has been singled out as the scapegoat after
Dinamos European dreams came to screeching halt. He has now taken
up legal action against Romanian sports daily Fanatik led the
hate-campaign by running the headline How much did it cost?
beside a picture of the infamous tackle.
"They are killing me, howled Nastase, whose hopelessly mistimed
tackle was made even more suspect by the fact that he has spent
much of his career in Italy with Bologna, Palermo, Genoa and most
recently Ascoli.
I tried to explain but they would not let me. I decided to take
them to court, because when people see me in the street, they I ask
me if I took money. Now lets see what happens, I dont want money,
I want an apology. I made a mistake playing, it can happen to
anyone."
Nastase is now considering retiring from football altogether after
having terminated his contact with Dinamo as a result of people
within the club turning on him as well.
I am disappointed because those who should have supported me, did
not,' he said. 'I'm responsible for the elimination. I don't know
what I'll do now.
