    The Athlete of the week


    It’s still early days for the New Year and it’s also
    early days for the football competitions that have been resumed around Europe.
    In the Turkish championship, the Romanian Alexandru Maxim plays for Gaziantep,
    in the Super Lig. Maxim drew first blood in his team’s match against Sivasspor;
    Gaziantep were defeated, 1-2. Alexandru Maxim’s success prompted sports pundits
    from Romania to realize, once again, that the midfielder was achieving his
    career best, and was in top shape. Reason enough for Radio Romania
    International to designate him the Athlete of the week. According to gsp.ro
    sports platform, Maxim’s goal against Sivasspor was the 9th in the
    Super Lig, where he has played 15 games so far. Added to which was a success in
    the Cup of Turkey. Furthermore, Maxim scored no less than 6 goals in the last
    six games.


    Alexandru Maxim was born on July 8, 1990, in Piatra
    Neamț (north-east). As a junior, he had a stint with Espanyol Barcelona, then
    Alexandru got promoted to the club’s second-tier team. He then played for
    Badalona, also in Spain. In 2011, Alexandru Maxim played for Pandurii Targu
    Jiu, in Romania. From 2013 to 2020 he played for the German team Stuttgart,
    then Maxim got transferred to Mainz, also in Germany. With the national team, for
    which he scored 7 goals, Alexandru Maxim made his debut on May 30, 2012, in a
    friendly game against the national team of Switzerland. He has had no less than
    40 caps ever since. The Romanian Football Federation rated Maxim’s goal in the
    match against Austria last year the most beautiful goal scored by Romania’s
    national teams in 2020.


    Gaziantep are 4th-placed in Turkey’s Super
    Lig, after 17 rounds. However, Gaziantep has a vacancy for the head-coach job,
    since the Romanian Marius Sumudica quit in the wake of a dispute with
    Gaziantep’s management. Romanian defender Alin Tosca has also been signed up by
    Gaziantep.
