The former great international believes that Denis Drăguș, a player at Trabzonspor, made a good match, even though he failed to score in the Austrians gate.

Dumitrescu has highlighted a big problem of our national, namely that we have quality players, but we do not know how to show them.

“The first shot on the gate was Stanciu's free kick, was that return to Denis Drăguș, who made a good match from my point of view tonight. For nothing you have very good quality, Man, Drăguș, Bîrligea, we could not value them.

We climbed the lines and tried to pose new problems. It is, however, a difference if you look at the duels won. It's a solid, better team. Could do even 3 or 4-0. The goal scored at the end for the moral, but the better and more solid team was Austria tonight, ”Ilie Dumitrescu said at Digi Sport.

Denis Drăguș has 22 appearances in the national team's shirt, for which he scored 5 times.

Austria was the better team in the match against Romania. The hosts managed to mark three minutes before the break through Gregoritsch. After the break, Romania received a goal, even from the captain of Austria, Sabitzer, who plays at Borussia Dortmund.

Romania also scored the “goal of honor”, in the last minute of extension of the second half, through Florin Tanase, which was introduced in the field by Mircea Lucescu, in the '85 minute, 10 minutes before the end of the match.

Romania meets Cyprus on their own ground, in Bucharest, on June 10, a match from which he hopes to obtain the three points.
