Adrian Ilie was convinced to play at Terek Groznîi for a fabulous salary of: 1,2 millions euro
At the age of 35 years old and after a total break of 4 seasons, Adrian Ilie is going tom play again, this time for the team "Terek Groznîi"! Although it seems incredible, the news published by the Russian newspapers "Sport Express" was confirmed by "Cobra": "The officials from Terek called me a few months ago, but I told them that I cannot play. It has been a long time since I gave up football... However, they insisted so much and they managed to convince me. I will go to Germany to make some medical checks and, if everything is OK, I will sign the contract".
Even if Germinal Beerschot (2005-2006) is the last team whom Ilie had been member of, he has never played for the Belgium team. This happened because one year ago, when he played at FC Zurich, he had suffered a serious injury at the right ankle ligaments, after this accident he didn’t recover entirely.
"The officials from Terek wanted me so much, that they were ready to offer me an unfilled contract, where I could write the amount I want"

"At the beginning, I will play 5-10 minutes, then we’ll see. The most important is that my feet could resist"

"So what if Ilie is 35 years old?! Carboni played at Valencia until he was 40 and he played very well"
Haidar Alhanov, vice president at Terek Groznîi
"If he plays good he will also be convenced at… !:D I am happy for him if he decided to make this step"
Miodrag Belodedici, former team mate
"In my entire career of coach I have seen players of 20 years old, 35, so Adi can try"
Emeric Ienei, former coach at Steaua
11 may 2005 is the date of the last official match played by Ilie, Schaffhausen - FC Zurich, 2-1
