Romania – Cyprus 2-0. Mircea Lucescu, the national team, was incandescent at the press conference at the end of the match won on the National Arena. He responded directly to the critics and those who speculated that he could leave the technical bank: “I will build a strong team, so be sure.”
Starting from the controversial phase of the first half, when the Lithuanian referee Donatas Rumsas did not eliminate it on the mall, the goalkeeper of Cyprus, following contact with Tanase, Lucescu harshly criticized the arbitration of Romania's matches with Bosnia, Austria and Cyprus.
Mircea Lucescu, Răfuia with referees at the conference, after Romania – Cyprus 2-0
“It was a difficult time, they all focused on the fault in Tanase. If the ones at Var called the referee, they considered it to be a foul. The referee was stubborn, like the other, the Dutchman, and said there was nothing.
There have been catastrophic referees in the last 3 matches. We must be stronger than arbitration. Whoever responds positively will continue to play.
There are 3 matches in a row in which the arbitration totally disadvantaged us. I was now, and in Vienna, there was a clear penalty in the 2nd minute, in Drăguș. He protected well and kicked it, “Lucescu told the press conference.
VIDEO. Mircea Lucescu: “The players come prepared, without molds”
“I am satisfied with the yield. Compared to the last match with Cyprus, only Rațiu was in the field. We rebuild the team.
Not without matches played, not with injuries. Not with molds, not with interests of contracts. I had this week discussions with 4-5 players about contracts. We need to be professionals. We will change the game, easy-to-do.
Despite some dissatisfied, the team will become stronger. The national team cannot take steps back. Who will respond positively to my requirements, will continue to play. I am very existing ”the coach said.
Mircea Lucescu's plan: “The Austrians were not superior to us. I will make a strong national. Be sure of it!”
“Austria was the stronger team. After 20 minutes we took the step back and received some childish goals. We beat us, they didn't beat us. They had nothing. They had two shots on the gate. He took a kick with his foot and there was another gate.
We didn't trust and maybe we weren't physically prepared. It was the 10th day of training this. These are my conclusions, a coach. The criticisms are not interested.
There are critics made by some who have no idea why it is in the soul of a coach. I don't know what the coach wants to do, what he aims. This is my answer to criticism. I will build a strong team, that's why you are sure!
I'm not talking about any reconstruction. I want to make a national national with players in the internal championship, which is an example for the children of this country“, Continued Mircea Lucescu.
Lucescu: “People to compare with one like Rațiu. I give a signal for all the players in Romanian football”
Those who deserve, when they go to go to big teams. How is Rațiu, the best right defender in the Spanish championship. He's an example for everyone else. This is the future of the national team. People to compare themselves to one as a rat. I give a signal for all players in Romanian football. They have the obligation to behave of such a nature as to be national. Have an obligation.
The national must be an example for the club teams from us. Club teams to arrive in European cups to make a strong national. This is my mission and I ended, I greet you.
