Florinel Coman, at 28 years old, found the back of the net for Romania, helping secure a 2-1 victory against Wales in a friendly match. Coman scored in the 52nd minute, with Darius Olaru providing the decisive assist. This performance comes as Coman contemplates his future, having announced a desire to leave Qatar where he currently plays for Al-Gharafa.

The match took place at the 'Steaua' stadium in Bucharest, where the score was 0-0 at halftime. David Brooks put Wales on the scoreboard in the 64th minute, but Adrian Rus sealed the win for Romania with a goal in the 80th minute.

As captain of FCSB, Darius Olaru expressed his support for Coman, playfully asking if he missed his teammates, saying, 'Ți-a fost dor de noi? Pentru că nouă ne-a fost dor de tine.' Meanwhile, Gigi Becali has been in the spotlight, revealing he received a €3 million offer for Olaru but is holding out for €5 million.

Prominent football figure Gică Hagi has also weighed in, suggesting that Coman needs to seek another team while acknowledging his importance to the national squad. Off the pitch, Coman is happily married to Ioana, and they share a young daughter together, adding to the joy of his recent accomplishments.
