Gheorghe Hagi has had it up to his neck with players feigning injuries, even if they are his own.

The ex-Romania international, who famously scored from the sideline at USA 94, is now managing in his home country and taking few prisoners.

His Viitorul side were beating Astra Giurgiu in the closing minutes of the first half when Benzar Romario fell to the ground after a tangle with Junior Morais.

Romario requested medical attention but Hagi was not having any of it. His irate intervention prompted a Lazarus-like recovery.

Viitorul went on to win the match 2-1.
