Milan, Brescia Calcio, West Ham United, RCD Espanyol, VfB Stuttgart and AS Monaco.[1] He played for Romania at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro 1996.Table of Contents (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Club career[edit]International career[edit]Career statistics[edit]Honours[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Club career[edit] R\u0103ducioiu was a product of Dinamo Bucure\u0219ti. Mircea Lucescu, former Dinamo coach, saw his skills and, as a feature of his philosophy towards football to promote young players, gave R\u0103ducioiu the chance to play at the highest level at the age of 17 years.By the beginning of 1988\u201389, R\u0103ducioiu was first-choice in Lucescu’s team. He made an impressive debut in European football by reaching the quarterfinals of the 1988\u201389 Cup Winners’ Cup (ousted by U.C. Sampdoria in the quarterfinals, on away goals) and finishing second in the league. By 1989\u201390, R\u0103ducioiu was one of Romania’s finest players, and that year was to be the most significant of his early career. He won the Romanian championship and the cup (hat-trick in the final against Steaua), reaching the semifinals of the 1989\u201390 Cup Winners’ Cup, where Dinamo was defeated by RSC Anderlecht.After two seasons in Serie A, R\u0103ducioiu joined A.C. Milan in 1993\u201394, making only seven appearances and scoring two goals, but winning the UEFA Champions League. In 1994, he went to La Liga to play for RCD Espanyol.Having scored his country’s only goal in UEFA Euro 1996 manager Harry Redknapp signed him for West Ham United in 1996.[2] Most famously, he scored a goal against Manchester United[3] after being criticized by Redknapp for going shopping with his wife at Harvey Nichols on a previous match day;[4] a claim R\u0103ducioiu denies.[2] Despite showing promise, he never adapted to the pace and competitive nature of the English game, making no real impact at Upton Park. He scored three goals during his spell with the Hammers. In addition to his goal against Manchester United he scored against Stockport County in the League Cup[5] and Sunderland in the league.[6] After his short underachieving spell at the East London club, having fallen out with manager Redknapp,[2] he was transferred back to Espanyol, having scored just two goals in the Premier League. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4R\u0103ducioiu retired in 2004, after a short stint with modest French side US Cr\u00e9teil-Lusitanos. He had a short spell as a sports agent and as sporting director at Dinamo Bucharest.[2]He is one of the three professional football players (alongside Christian Poulsen and Stevan Jovetic) to have plied his trade in the top five European leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France).[7]International career[edit]R\u0103ducioiu debuted for the Romania national team in a friendly game against Israel on 25 April 1990, playing for 58 minutes before he was replaced.R\u0103ducioiu made his FIFA World Cup debut in 1990 against the Soviet Union at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari, aged 20. Appearing in three games for Romania, he finished the tournament without scoring, and Romania fell to the Republic of Ireland in the second round, in a penalty shootout.R\u0103ducioiu had to wait until the last game of 1990 to score his first goal. He scored for Romania in a 6\u20130 victory over San Marino on 5 December in a qualifying match for UEFA Euro 1992, only to double his account in the next game in San Marino, as the Romanians won 3\u20131.The year 1993 would be significantly more successful for R\u0103ducioiu internationally, as he scored two goals against Czechoslovakia in Ko\u0161ice, even though Romania lost 5\u20132. R\u0103ducioiu’s second goal came in the 55th minute, to tie the game at 2\u20132. However, Slovak player Peter Dubovsky scored a second half hat-trick to beat Romania. His first goal came just four minutes after R\u0103ducioiu’s second, and in the final eight minutes, Dubosky scored twice to win the game, even though the Czechoslovak had had two players sent off.An even greater success for R\u0103ducioiu would come three months later when in Toftir, he managed to score all four of Romania’s goals against the Faroe Islands, becoming the first Romanian player to score four goals for the Romania national team in modern times, a record equaled only by Gheorghe Popescu in 1997 against Liechtenstein.R\u0103ducioiu also scored a penalty kick against Belgium in the qualifiers for the 1994 World Cup. In the last group game of qualifying, he scored another goal against Wales finishing a nice team effort after a pass from Ilie Dumitrescu. This late goal, coming in the 83rd minute, sent Romania to the top of its group from the potential third place in the case that the game had ended 1\u20130, and subsequently to the 1994 FIFA World Cup.At the 1994 FIFA World Cup, R\u0103ducioiu scored two goals against Colombia during the qualifying round. In the quarterfinal against Sweden, he first equalized Sweden’s 0\u20131 lead in the 88th minute of regular time, taking the game to extra time, where he put Romania ahead 2\u20131 in the first period. Shortly thereafter, Sweden’s Stefan Schwarz was sent off after his second yellow card, but despite this Kennet Andersson equalized the game in the 115th minute, leading to a shootout. R\u0103ducioiu scored Romania’s first penalty attempt after Sweden had missed its first, but Romania was eliminated after missing two attempts out of six. Still, R\u0103ducioiu’s four tournament goals helped Romania to its most successful FIFA World Cup campaign ever.At the UEFA Euro 1996, as Romania lost all three group stage matches, R\u0103ducioiu netted the nation’s only goal, in a 2\u20131 loss against Spain. Overall he won 40 caps between April 1990 and June 1996.[8]Career statistics[edit]Scores and results list Romania’s goal tally first, score column indicates score after each R\u0103ducioiu goal.List of international goals scored by Florin R\u0103ducioiuNo.DateVenueOpponentScoreResultCompetition15 December 1990Stadionul Na\u0163ional, Bucharest, Romania\u00a0San Marino3\u201306\u20130UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying227 March 1991Stadio Olimpico, Serravalle, San Marino\u00a0San Marino2\u201313\u20131UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying329 November 1992Neo GSZ Stadium, Larnaca, Cyprus\u00a0Cyprus2\u201304\u201311994 FIFA World Cup qualification42 June 1993V\u0161e\u0161portov\u00fd are\u00e1l, Ko\u0161ice, Slovakia\u00a0RCS1\u201312\u20135FIFA World Cup 1994 Qualifying52\u2013268 September 1993Svangaskar\u00f0, Toftir, Faroe Islands\u00a0Faroe Islands1\u201304\u20130FIFA World Cup 1994 Qualifying72\u2013083\u2013094\u201301013 October 1993Stadionul Ghencea, Bucharest, Romania\u00a0Belgium1\u201302\u20131FIFA World Cup 1994 Qualifying1117 November 1993Cardiff Arms Park, Cardiff, Wales\u00a0Wales2\u201312\u20131FIFA World Cup 1994 Qualifying1218 June 1994Rose Bowl, Pasadena, United States\u00a0Colombia1\u201303\u201311994 FIFA World Cup133\u201311410 July 1994Stanford Stadium, Stanford, United States\u00a0Sweden1\u201312\u201321994 FIFA World Cup152\u20131167 September 1994Stadionul Ghencea, Bucharest, Romania\u00a0Azerbaijan3\u201303\u20130UEFA Euro 1996 qualifying1729 March 1995Stadionul Ghencea, Bucharest, Romania\u00a0Poland1\u201312\u20131UEFA Euro 1996 Qualifying1826 April 1995H\u00fcseyin Avni Aker Stadium, Trabzon, Turkey\u00a0Azerbaijan1\u201304\u20131UEFA Euro 1996 Qualifying193\u20131204\u201312118 June 1996Elland Road, Leeds, England\u00a0Spain1\u201311\u20132UEFA Euro 1996Honours[edit]Dinamo BucharestAC MilanVfB StuttgartReferences[edit]External links[edit]Florin R\u0103ducioiu international tournaments (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/florin-raducioiu-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Florin R\u0103ducioiu – Wikipedia"}}]}]
