Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper claims that the Austrians have scored two lucky goals. At the end of the flash intervi, questioned about his future, he said he would participate in the World Club Championship with the Spaniards, but wants to go to another team to take more minutes.
Horațiu Moldovan, statements after Austria – Romania 2-1: “We can put it in”
“We are sorry for this defeat. It was at the limit, we were also unlucky, I had opportunities, I met a very good team. We felt the Romanians very close to us and thank them in this way, they applauded us at the end.
I think I made a pretty good first half. I took a goal from the auto. If we didn't take that goal, they would get a little into crisis. We kept exactly why Nea Mircea told us. That void came and that was it.
There were two trivial goals: one of the auto and a deviation. Very much bad luck. We think about what's next. We still have mathematical chances and we play the chance to the end. As we put it in the end and in other dates, I think we have a very united group, a very good coach, with great experience, and I really think we can get it to the end.
(no – what's next for you?) I still have a contract with Atletico. Probably after the World Club Championship we will see. I wish to go somewhere to play. We will see if it will be a loan or otherwise, ”Moldovan explained at Digi Sport.
