The legendary dynamist Cornel Dinu has recently retired and disappeared both from the small screens and from the newspapers, where he made waves with his acid statements. His former collaborator, Cristi Borcea, narrated the drama that the former great player and coach is going through. He doesn't leave the house anymore and doesn't even talk to his closest friends anymore.

Cristi Borcea and Cornel Dinu worked together in the period 1999-2003, during which Dinamo won two titles and two Romanian Cups. Now the former footballer, now 75 years old, has isolated himself from the rest of the world due to several health problems and does not want to interact with other people anymore.
The revelation about Cornel Dinu's condition was made by his good friend Cristi Borcea, in a discussion with Horia Ivanovici, the director of Fanatik Superliga. “Now it's my biggest pain. I do not know what to do. I talk to him, but he doesn't leave the house. I also want to go to a restaurant. He doesn't socialize.
Cornel Dinu: “Woe to me”
He got into a fit… He doesn't want to anymore. That's the drama. I'm going, come on Cornel, come to me, let's eat. I'm coming, I'll get you. Anything. He doesn't leave the house anymore. Next week we both promise to take him to the table”, said Cristi Borcea. Moderator Horia Ivanovici added: “It's like he wants the end. Do you know how it is? I feel it. It's as if he is no longer connected to today's world. It's like he doesn't like today's world anymore. He self-isolates, as if he wants to go”.
Cornel Dinu confirmed, at the end of last year, that he has insomnia and that his medical situation creates big problems for him. “I don't sleep at night, I've been upset for a month. There was a time when we hated each other (no with Mihai Stoichiță). I'm not what I was. It's over. With the body it is completely different. If you see me, say it's Peneș the Turkey, how I'm dragging my feet. It's coxarthrosis. It lasted me 10 years with the infiltrations and it doesn't last anymore, alas for my head”Cornel Dinu transmitted to Fanatik.
