Without a chance of qualification, after the failures with Italy and Spain, Romania U21 turns its attention to the last match of the group, the one against Slovakia, which will only be for statistics.
The 22-year-old striker of the CFR could not mask his disappointment in the interviews at the end of the match in Bratislava. With his gap from the EURO Mathematical Elimination, Louis Munteanu concludes bitterly: “It is a little unmerited to look in the group and see zero in Romania.”
Louis Munteanu, new conclusions after defeating Spain: “It is a little unmerited to look in the group and see zero points in Romania”
“We did not want to finish such a euro, we are all upset … What else to do? There is nothing to do now. We think about the next match, we hope we will not get injured, then the vacation comes.
You know what Spain is, he had a very good possession, but I say I had clearer opportunities!
We all believed in victory with Spain, especially since I had nothing to lose. We just had to play for the people who came to support us. (…) The supporters came in large numbers, I think that's why we played so well, they pushed us from behind.
In vain I scored, if I lost … I think in the match with Italy I had an attitude, it was that mistake in the first half and that was the story of that match.
And in the match with Italy there were quite a lot of good things, and there I looked good. It is a little unmerited to look in the group and see zero points next to Romania. We have to win with Slovakia, we deserve to win at least one match for this euro. We want to go healthy, and then go on vacation, ”said Louis Munteanu.

“The most precious empty, but for nothing, if we go out in this hall of Euro!”
Asked by the GSP reporter present in the mixed area what a personal significance has the splendid goal in front of the Iberians, Louis Munteanu avoided stating with his success.
[E cel mai prețios gol din cariera ta, având în vedere anvergura competiției?] Yes, I think so. But as I said, I scored the goal for nothing if we go out in this hall of Euro. ”
