:''Not to be confused with Adrian Ilie (footballer born 1981)'' Adrian Bucurel Ilie ((:adriˈan iˈlie); born April 20, 1974) is a Romanian former international footballer. His nickname was Cobra, because of his skills to attack on the field. ==Club career== Ilie began his career with his local club FC Electroputere Craiova before transferring to Romania's biggest club FC Steaua București in 1993. During his three years with Steaua, Ilie helped the club to three consecutive Romanian league titles and the 1995–96 Cupa României. In 1996, Ilie was purchased by Turkish side Galatasaray for an amount of €2.35 million, where he won the Turkish championship in 1996–97. After an impressive season, he moved from Galatasaray to Valencia CF for a reported €4.7 million, where he replaced in the squad the Brazilian star Romário and took over his no. 11 jersey. At Valencia he impressed from his debut, scoring twelve goals in 17 matches, and thus getting the nickname of "Cobra" from coach Claudio Ranieri, because he was as "lethal as a cobra". At the ''Mestalla'', Ilie made a remarkable attacking duo together with team mate Claudio López, helping ''Los Che'' to win the 1998–99 Copa del Rey. In 2000, under Héctor Cúper's command, Valencia reached the final of the UEFA Champions League, where Ilie appeared as a substitute for Gerardo in a 3–0 loss to Real Madrid CF. Two years later, Ilie was a member of Rafael Benítez's 2001–02 La Liga winning squad, scoring two goals in 10 matches. In 2002, Ilie left Valencia to join Deportivo Alavés but the club was relegated to the Segunda División in his only season. He then returned to Turkey to play for Beşiktaş J.K. before transferring to Switzerland's FC Zürich a year later. In 2005, due to several injuries, he had to retire from football at the age of only 31. He tried a comeback in 2009, at the Russian side Terek Grozny, but he didn't pass the physical tests. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adrian Ilie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
