Sorin Ghionea

Ghionea made his debut as a player for Dunărea Galaţi during the 1997–98 season and helped his team avoid relegation in Liga III.He became close to Dorin Goian a basic player for Steaua București especially after he took Mirel Rădoi's place in the central defense after he was injured for a couple of time.Steaua passed from a group with Standard Liège, Sampdoria, Besiktas Istanbul and Athletic Bilbao and also eliminated after this the ex-winner of UEFA Cup, Valencia.The next season in UEFA Cup was even better because Steaua played in the semi-finals after defeated teams like Lens, Heerenveen, Real Betis and in the quarter-finals Rapid București, one of their traditional Romanian rivals.Even though it was said that Ghionea would not miss the start of Liga I 2007–08 season on 28 July, his knee was not fully recovered and he did not play in any match for Steaua.On 10 July 2008, Steaua București rejected a €1.5m bid from Serie A side Catania but Ghionea decided to remain at the club for the foreseeable future.
