Mircea Lucescu (79 years old) It has big plans with the national team of Romania, which he wants to reform in the near future. The coach is firmly convinced that young players can greatly help the first representative in checking the goals, which is why they do not miss the important parties in the Superliga.
The legendary coach wants to compensate for the lack of Romania's injured players with new footballers, who will grow in the coming years, so as to become viable options in an immediate horizon.
The Romanian national accumulated three points after the first two parties in the H group of preliminaries for the 2026 World Championship, after the defeat on their own ground with Bosnia and Herzegovina, respectively Victoria in San Marino (1-5). On June 7, the selected “Il Luce” will travel to Austria for the third duel.
Mircea Lucescu's new plan at the national team of Romania
Mircea Lucescu is preparing changes in the Romanian group, which is why new players convenes, who have not debuted to the national team, convenes. Physical problems, but also the future, concern the coach.
“The whole problem with me is time. What I do with them … so I say.” I do not need your feet, I need your mind, to analyze the opponent, to think, not to suffer the pressure of the opponent. Austria lives from pressing.
If so far I have focused on a group of players, now I have to change. At each action I called 2-3 players, an extraordinary difference. This team if he obtained a qualification due to its homogeneity. I will be very careful, I will try to recover everyone, “said Mircea Lucescu, according to Golazo.ro.
I can't say I'm optimistic, but that doesn't mean I'm worried. Regardless of who will come to the national team, these are the players and have to give the maximum. Drăgușin is Out, Olaru – whom I consider one of the best players we have, can play in Italy at any time. He did not play much because there is Stanciu, who mainly maintains the team, but went well. Coman Out, Mihăilă Out, Drăguș Out. Răzvan Marin, who did not play because he had a knee problem. I went through this.
