“The image of Romania is the defeat with Bosnia or everything we have done so far? We all have the answer. The image is not the match with Bosnia, which we could win by playing more inspired. Unfortunately, such accidents happen in football.
(How many Romanians expect to be in the stands with Austria) How many Romanians are in Austria and who can use their IDs there … as in Germany. There were not only from Romania, but also from other countries. With their IDs they take their tickets normally, not by federation.
(With Mircea Lucescu to the end?) Mircea Lucescu is not defined by the match with Bosnia, he is defined by his entire career and all his achievements. Of what he did to the Romanian team this season, let's not forget that we have six victories in the first matches, ”said Mihai Stoichiță, quoted by As.ro.

When I attract attention, when critic or advise, I do it as a good professional, I do not do it with wickedness, I do it with friendship, love and understanding. I have an age at which I am not allowed to upset anyone. I can only attract attention. I was unhappy with certain comments. I am here to help. I can leave at any time, without problems, if things continue.
