It was like a vu already. Very, very fast before, we play only one half, usually the second, after we do not exist and after we collect it once or twice. That is, we have to shoot to come back, run, work hard, finally, to pray, maybe the miracle of Lucerne.
He didn't talk, he could. The occasions, so few, were, however, that of him were only a few empty fingers. Of their goalkeeper, for And with the goal of Tanase, from the last phase, he would have come out. But why wait for the 70 minutes to play, to have courage, to show the team?!
Mircea Lucescu keeps telling us that he wants Romania to rediscover his old values, Possession, technique, creativity. I had nothing of all this, in any half. In the first, Moldovan's reflexes were removed several times. I did not pull the gate, in fact I did not even get to shoot at all, because they still blocked us. We defended ourselves almost continuously, in front of an Austria team far from being a scarecrow, but which was quite aggressive and fluid to put us at the corner, even without too many occasions.
You would say that we were beaten alone, that both goals came after our deviations. It's not that way. In the first hour of play I was a leap, that ball did not stick to us at all. Some counter -attack attempts, it does not mean anything in today's football. We have come back in the last 30 minutes, but when you play 30%, the more you choose.
Bîlligea has made taking over in the auto, Drăguș is still struggling with him to become an extremely discreet, marine and man almost invisible. It's hard, no, it's impossible to have claims with so many “holes”.
And we who had believed Mircea Lucescu, who told us that they could not surprise us with anything, that he studied it very well. I have such a feeling that on “tricolors” as if he did not study it, he did not feel it as well.
The players' reaction came late, but strange, as hard as it came from the technical bench. Why did the changes so late, if the game was creaking from all the hinges? Maybe someone will clarify us.
Because in the end, Mircea Lucescu said that he was satisfied with the game, arousing the confusion of Gică Popescu, who refrained from commenting. In skill, the former national captain gave her the desire to motivate the boys. The coach reproached him that he did not get the players faster in the canton and that he gave some extra free days. We are not specialists, we really cannot quantify how things would have improved.
But, did Mircea Lucescu have not felt that as his students were moving, at 0-2, when you had nothing to lose, it was really worth trying to change something faster, to risk?!
He also blamed the bad luck, for the difficult year, on injuries, their individual and group value. Okay, Austria is better, “we tend to reach her level”, this is clear, but for now we have not been able to replace the start with Bosnia-Herzegovina. There is nothing yet played, but we are already 6 points in ex-Yugoslavs, and Austria, the favorite sea, has just entered the game. And let us not imagine that it will be just a walk through the park with Cyprus, in Bucharest.
At the press conference, Mircea Lucescu said that “we can beat Bosnia and Austria in return matches”. Alone that we can. But can we? As we move, nothing is simple. Guys, you have the word! So far, you are owned! Do not tear down the “yellow wall”!
