Profile<\/STRONG>
A skilful, goalscoring midfielder who can also operate as a supplementary striker, Nicolae Dic\u0103 has spent his whole career in Romania. Born in Pitesti, he has become a big favourite in the capital with FC Steaua Bucure\u015fti, scoring freely for the club both in domestic and European competition.
Left second-tier Dacia Pite\u015fti for top-flight FC Arge\u015f Pitesti in 2000; scored 34 goals in 88 league appearances for club.
After nine goals in 14 appearances in the first half of the 2003\/04 season, he switched in the winter to Steaua where he registered the same again to become the league's second-highest scorer.
Brought to Steaua by Victor Pi\u0163urc\u0103, then acting as the club's sporting director.
Had an outstanding 2005\/06 season – 15 goals in the league plus six in 13 UEFA Cup matches as Steaua reached the semi-finals; voted 2006 Romanian Footballer of the Year.
Four goals in his first UEFA Champions League campaign (including a double on his debut away to FC Dynamo Kyiv) but his season was cut short by a knee injury sustained in January 2007.
Injury also limited his UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying influence to six appearances, but he still scored four goals (three v Albania, one v Belarus).
