UEFA Champions League
2004-05 player's profile
A left-sided player who can also operate as a sweeper or midfielder,
Romanian Cristian Chivu is one of Europe's premier defenders
and a huge asset for club and country.
National team
A former Under-20 international, he took his senior bow against
Cyprus in 1999. It was at UEFA EURO 2000™, though, that
he caught the eye, scoring against England as Romania reached
the last eight. Chivu was denied a place at the 2002 FIFA World
Cup as Romania lost a play-off to Slovenia, but returned for
the EURO 2004™ qualifiers, taking his caps total to more
than 30.
Club
Born in Resita in 1980, Chivu's road to stardom started at CSM
Resita, for whom he played 23 times in the 1997/98 season before
joining FC Universitatea Craiova.
1999: After one full term at
the Ion Oblemenco stadium, Chivu signed for AFC Ajax as a relative
unknown in a €4.7m deal. He made 23 league appearances in
his first season, was exceptional in 2000/01, and the following
campaign was named Footballer of the Year after leading Ajax
to league and cup success, having been handed the captaincy by
coach Ronald Koeman in December 2001. His impressive displays
and undoubted promise led to him being voted into the uefa.com
users' Team of 2002, while he was also nominated as Romania's
finest in a poll in his homeland. On the pitch, he continued
to contribute as Ajax finished second in the Eredivisie and reached
the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. In July he left Amsterdam
for AS Roma, agreeing a five-year contract for a fee of €18m.
2003/04: Chivu was a regular
in the Roma side that took second place in Serie A behind AC
Milan, and in the summer new coach Cesare Prandelli ensured the
Romanian would not be prised away from the Stadio Olimpico, although
a foot operation was to keep him out of the start of the 2004/05
campaign.
