Eugen Cătălin Baciu (born May 25, 1980 in Vaslui) is a Romanian football player, currently playing for Steaua Bucureşti. He is a very solid and tough centre back. Despite not being a regular of the first team, Baciu is always an option for the coach when either Dorin Goian or Sorin Ghionea are not available.
[edit] Club career
- Steaua have signed Bacău's Eugen Baciu for a fee of € 230.000.
- He is not a first team regular at Steaua Bucureşti, but when he is brought on the pitch, he does his job very well. He was brought at Steaua Bucureşti as a replacement for the injured Mirel Rădoi, in 2005. The Steaua Bucureşti fans didn't think that he was good enough to play for this team. His evolutions were hesitant in his first season in Steaua Bucureşti. He needed a longer period of adaptation. He started to shine in the 2006-2007 season of Liga 1, Mirel Rădoi and Sorin Ghionea being injured in its second part. He really got it going, but the fans still couldn't forget his hesitant evolutions in the last two seasons.
[edit] International career
- Baciu won a cap for Romania, in 2002, against Poland.
