Tiberiu Ghioane (born 18th June 1981 in Târgu Secuiesc) is a Romanian footballer. He currently plays for Dynamo Kiev as a central attacking midfielder. He was always an introvert person and had very few friends, and over the years he got new troubles like the sudden disappearance of his father (his father was a truck driver, yet he wasn't found even by the Interpol, which were asked for searching for him by Igor Surkis, Dynamo Kiev club owner.

On the 3rd February 2005, he suffered a micro cerebral thrombosis which has recurred over time and also caused Tibi to behave strangely. Since that, he has only played two first-team matches for Dynamo, having been an important first team player before. He then started training and playing with the second squad of Dynamo Kiev with his future playing level unknown (although some doctors advised him to quit playing). Recently he has started regaining his former form and is now a regular team player. There are talks about an international call up for Romania's football team.

[edit] International career

Ghioane played 11 games for his country scoring 1 goal in his ninth international appearance against Luxembourg. He had some arguments with both national team coaches he had when he was called up, saying that he would never return to the national team as long as the coach was Anghel Iordanescu. Also, he was heavily criticised by next coach Victor Piturca after a 0-2 home defeat to the Netherlands in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
