Return To Romania
Petrescu returned to his native Bucharest for a last season as a football player, with FC Naţional. His last match was the Romanian Cup final, on 31 May 2003. Naţional lost 1–0 to Dinamo Bucharest, during which Petrescu received a lot of abuse from some of the Dinamo fans as he left the pitch at the end of ninety minutes, even though it was the last game of one of Romania's greatest footballers. This was because he used to play for Dinamo's greatest rivals, Steaua Bucureşti.

Famous quotes containing the words return to and/or return:
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
“If he should take back his spirit to himself, and gather to himself his breath, all flesh would perish together, and all mortals return to dust.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 34:14-15.
