He was surprised by the title of the boutures of Horațiu Moldovan (27 years), instead of Florin Niță (37 years old), the one who had won his place in the Romanian start team with the very good interventions last summer, at the European Championship in Germany.
Florin Prunea hopes that Moldovan will be inspired in Austria
The former great goalkeeper of Romania did not expect such a move and hopes that once titled, Horațiu Moldovan will not disappoint.
“I did not expect honestly. Until the last moment I thought it would defend Niță, I tell you honestly. I think the decision was taken after the last workouts. I think that Mircea's arguments are two.
Once, Niță finished the championship long and did not have matches, while Moldovan comes after a very good season in a championship not easy for a goalkeeper, not so simple. He promoted, had a perfect season, but I didn't think it would change it, I tell you honestly.
At the last national match, Niță had a mistake. Let us not forget that in these preliminaries Moldovan was sent to a game.
For me it is a surprise. The return I hope to be good. He is a very good goalkeeper, he had a fantastic season, he deserves to defend, but I didn't expect it. Niță did not show her age, “said Florin Prunea, a few minutes before the match, quoted by Digisport.ro.
