Pepe Moreno returned to Steaua with great thoughts » "I am not afraid of Kapetanos!"

Pepe Moreno, Moreno, Steaua

Pepe Moreno arrived in Bucharest since yesterday, he is prepared to concur with the goal getter of the championship for a place in the offensive side of Steaua

The difficulty with which he obtained the visa for Romania made Pepe Moreno miss almost the entire training camp from this winter, but the Columbian arrived in the end at Bucharest, being prepared to raise the bid of his career. Since he left Steaua, one year and a half ago, he played in Argentina and Peru, a periplus in which he scored only one goal!

Yesterday evening he showed on the Otopeni airport. The first impression: he was astonished because of the cold weather. Pepe waited his luggage a half an hour, but he went out in the parking lot when he realized that his bags didn’t arrive. He showed in the anorak with which he had left from Columbia, this time at a temperature of only two degrees Celsius. The fresh player at Steaua has shivered for a few minutes, because the car send by the club was closed and the driver went to pay the parking.

- Pepe, how do you feel now that you returned to Romania?
- Extraordinary! I really wanted to play again for Steaua, because the previous experience I had here made me love the club and the country.

- Steaua has changed since you played here. What do you know about the present team?
- I know how matters stand, I am well informed by Zapata, whom I kept in touch with. Rufay gave me all the details about the new coach, about the players.

- What do you think about the struggle for the title in League 1?
- I think that Steaua is the favorite and I came to bring my support for this success. The participation in Champions League is like a dream to me and this motivates me to fight in the return.

- Do you know that you have been brought as reserve for the Greek Kapetanos, the goal getter of the championship?
- Kapetanos deserves to play, he has demonstrated this thing through the goals he scored. I want to be like him, a forward whom to rely on. I am not afraid about the concurrence with Kapetanos, this should be clear!


9 goals scored Kapetanos in the turn. In the return of the season 2007-2008, Pepe Moreno scored 5 times for Steaua

450.000 euro has to pay Steaua in the summer if it wants Moreno for good. Until then, the Columbian is borrowed for free from America de Cali

Moreno is 1,85 meters tall. The south-American is shorter with 4 centimeters than Kapetanos


"Kapetanos was the only player in the team with no competitor on his post, that is why I wanted Pepe Moreno"
Mihai Stoichiţă, coach Steaua

"Pepe Moreno is a strong forward, in the center, the gender of player who can fructify the work of the other players in the team"
Mircea Rădulescu, the principle of the Coach School


What did Pepe do since he left from Steaua:
- He changes three teams: America de Cali, with which he is still under contract, Independiente, from Argentina, and Juan Aurich, from Peru. At the last two clubs he has been borrowed.  
- He played 21 matches in one year and a half, among which in 16 he was title.
- He managed to score only once, in the T-shirt of Juan Aurich, on November 4, 2009.
