International career
Petrescu registered 95 caps for the Romanian national football team. He made his
debut for the squad in 1989, and played at four major tournaments: the 1994 World
Cup, Euro 96, the 1998 World Cup, where the entire team famously dyed their hair
blond after losing a bet with the team's coach Anghel Iordanescu, and Euro 2000.

He missed the 1990 World Cup due to an injury. In 1994 Petrescu played in his first
World Cup in the U.S.. He scored the only goal in a win against the United
Stateswhich saw Romania qualify for the second round as group winners. They were
then handed a difficult game against Argentina which they managed to win, only to
lose to Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals, with Petrescu missing his spot-
kick.

Euro 96 was a disappointment for Romania, as they lost all three group matches and
only managed to score one goal.

At France 1998, he raced past his Chelsea teammate Graeme Le Saux and scored the
winning goal against England, which effectively won them the group and ensured
they would not have to face Argentina in the second round. He became the second
Romanian player to score in two different World Cups after Stefan Dobay. In the end,
the Romanians lost their second round game 1–0 to Croatia.He was an important
piece of the Romanian team at Euro 2000, where they survived a group with
Portugal, Germany and England. A new victory over the English team was decisive
to qualify for quarter-finals. Romania won all the games where Petrescu scored.

Petrescu signed for Sheffield Wednesday in 1994 from Genoa, after a

successful World Cup for Romania. After one season at Hillsborough he signed
for Chelsea and featured prominently there for the next five years. During his
term at Chelsea, he was a member of the teams which won the FA
Cup in 1997 and the League Cup andCup Winners' Cup (both in 1998). After
falling out with Chelsea manager Gianluca Vialli after a defeat toManchester
United, Petrescu never played for the club again and was not even selected as a
substitute for the2000 FA Cup Final against Aston Villa. Turning down a move
to Southampton in August 2000,[3] he instead moved to Bradford City for £1
million, scoring once against West HAM
