ADRIAN MUTU

An Adrian Mutu-less Cesena side could not perform well in the match against Fiorentina during the weekend, and as a result, lost the match 2-0. The result puts them bottom of the Italian Serie A table with no hope escaping relegation zone.

Cesena decided to drop Adrian Mutu for the match against his former club Fiorentina on the account of poor form. However, following the match, it seemed that they could have done well with the services of the former Chelsea striker, who is known for scoring goals even under the most stressful conditions. Adrian Mutu moved to Cesena in the summer after a disappointing end to his Fiorentina career.

He was all set to face Fiorentina for the first time since his move, but he may now have to wait for a long time before he gets the chance to do so. This is because Cesena are now rock bottom of the Italian Serie A table. They are a massive 13 points away from safety and relegation looks like a certain possibility for the moment. Cesena lost their last three matches prior to the Fiorentina match, but it was not enough to convince the Cesena coach about the inclusion of Adrian Mutu.

“I decided not to call him up because he wasn’t at my disposal all week and he didn’t look in top form against Chievo or when playing for Romania. Adrian is capable of resolving a match when he is in good shape. However, as things stand right now, we cannot afford to play anyone who isn’t at 100 per cent. He didn’t look in top form” said manager Mario Beretta.
