“Do you know what happens to the medicines that the doctor leaves on the table?” + Announces changes in the first “11”
Daniel Pancu did not clean his own players in the press conference that followed defeat with Italy U21, score 0-1, at the debut at the European Championship. The coach accuses the lightness with which the “tricolors” have received the first void, but also how his students treat the recovery and physical training.
- The European U21 Championship was held in Slovakia, between 11 and 28 June, and the Sports Gazette moved a team of five reporters on the spot.
- Romania U21 is distributed in Group A, along with Spain and Italy, two of the favorites winning the tournament, plus the host country Slovakia.
Suspended for the first two matches in the group, after the nervous exit in Giulești, at the end of the preliminaries, Daniel Pancu was forced to watch the match of the “Anton Malatinský” arena in Trnava. In the end, the coach put on the wallpaper all the things that dissatisfied him in the debut match of the euro.
Daniel Pancu charges the lightness from the defensive: “They are horrible things, from my point of view”
“It's a very easy-to-get void! You can't leave Baldanzi, at its quality, to get to a position to complete there!
[Putea face Sava mai mult la gol?] It is the last mistake and the smallest, if it were his fault … but I am very upset about the action, you cannot go to the euro and take a goal of this manner, plus a bar then (no from a similar action of Italy).
I am angry with other things and I think if I was on the bench, many of them would not happen. (…) Believe me, if I had been on the bench, things would have been quite different. From the stands I had no way, but there are terrible things, from my point of view.
At this level, don't feel some things … that's what they had extra (nr Italians), This trick. So much! ”, Daniel Pancu pointed out, in the press conference at the end of the match with Italy.
“We get to have cramps in the 80th minute! I remain half of the medicines that the doctor leaves on the table!”
Pancu disturbed to see his end-to-effort players or having cramps at the end of the match, reproaching them for treating the aspects related to recovery.
More players [păreau că se sufocă]! I saw Borza several times, but I couldn't change. When I see the players with their hands on their knees in the first half, and in the end many cramps … I do not know, they are not my players, they are the players of the national team, but the care for restoration … negligent!
Those medicines that the doctor leaves on the table … half of them remain! And we get to have cramps through the 80th minute! And there were few players without minutes. It was a Umit Akdag without minutes, but he trains in another environment. We should not have problems like this, ”said the coach.
👉 Vlad Nicoara is the man who deals with the physical training of “tricolors”. He was also the one who “squeezed” players in the Austria canton, GSP reporters attending several coordinated meetings. Dan Costin is the doctor of the national U21.
Pancu is not upset with Louis Munteanu: “I do not relate to the missed penalty!”
Among all the sources of dissatisfaction, Daniel Pancu says he has no reason to reproach Louis Munteanu the missed penalty. When one of the GSP reporters present in the conference room asked if he would change the main performer, Pancu understood that he would not walk in this aspect:
“I don't know why Corbu took the ball [inițial]has never been nominated for a penalty. Executors are Louis Munteanu, Ianis Stoica and Rareș Ilie, but it's a penalty, you can miss it … You can miss the gate line, I really don't relate to this missed penalty.
Will remain the main penalties executor, in the context in which na had a good percentage at CFR?]He has scored so far! We see, but normally he stays. ”
“The difference was made to the experience and the level from which they come from”
Pancu continued:
“I made many gifts, the difference was made to their experience and the level from which they come from. If there were good things, they are related to the attitude.
I do not know in duels as we stay, but I still see many mistakes of interpretation. In the 90+1 minute, we have a free kick from the middle of the field, you must realize that there are two minutes … We initiate with Matei Ilie and Umit (no akdag). That ball had to be long, in the box. Lack of experience!
Italy, the team you saw today, gave two long passes in all the matches we saw. With us he gave the most, because they saw that we were going to press … Plus the shame to put the ball outside, the shame of rejecting in the head, with the head, simple balls under the pressure of the opponent.
Here I think the difference was made, Plus, if Mitrov brand finally, I could talk about an equality result that I don't think was unmerited. My opinion is that it was worth it. It seemed like a huge opportunity! ”.
“We are obliged to score goals with Spain! There will be changes in the first” 11 “
Pancu is aware that Victoria with Spain is the only option to hope for leaving the group and announces that it will operate some team changes for Saturday:
“We only have the chance of victory with Spain, another chance we have no more if we want to go further. First of all, we have to recover well, to restore our forces, they will certainly be changes in the first “11”, we in the campaign were no longer in the situation of playing every three days.
My biggest upset is that we have not been able to mark today. With Spain we are obliged to score goals, not a single goal, because I am convinced we need goals to get three points.
On paper, Spain is better than Italy, but for this game I had certain fears (…) although I think Italy was even a team to beat, not just a point. With Spain, we must be convinced that we can win. I believed all the time in this generation and I will believe until the end, no matter what this end will look like.
About the dialogue of Matei Ilie – Tavi Popescu: “I would like to see such things more often”
Asked about the Cionănela between Matei Ilie and Tavi Popescu, spent when the defender reproached the “decar” the loss of a ball, Pancu said:
“I would like to see such things more often, only today I saw, because it was a slightly lost ball, and you can send the attackers from behind, because we get harder in that area. But no, there are no tensions!”
We thank those who came here to support us, we felt their support and I think the boys are satisfied. If more come to Bratislava, it will be even better, we hope to make them joy.
