Romania U21 goes home with three defeats from the European Championshipand the conclusions in the “tricolor” locker room were among the hardest. Matei Ilie, the stop of CFR Cluj, and Ianis Stoica, extreme from Hermannstadt, offered eloquent statements for the powerlessness in Pancu's national camp.
The national U21 ended the final tournament in Slovakia, losing all three matches in the group, including the one in front of Slovakia, score 1-2. Residents at Euro, with tiny achievements in the maturity test of the career, two of Pancu's “tricolors”, Matei Ilie and Ianis Stoica, offered extremely harsh statements at the end of the match on Tuesday evening.
Matei Ilie, demoralized: “Honestly, I'm ashamed!”
“Nothing went! Honestly, I'm ashamed, because so many people came to support us and we couldn't offer them anything! It's very hard, I'm very sad and it's hard to talk.
I do not know what does not work, I do not have an answer at this time, we have to analyze ourselves individually and as a group, because we cannot present this at a final tournament.
I know that I used the world with much more solid performances, with a much more spectacular and offensive football, I don't know what happened, honestly. I had very high expectations, not just the passing of groups. I was aiming very, very high. Unfortunately, we couldn't even go through the group, and this is very sad.
At the moment, I simply fail to find something positive!”, Confessed the CFR stop.
Ianis Stoica, brutally sincere: “We are probably weaker than I thought!”
“We apologize! The expectations were high, we had to do more. We have no explanations … Now we are” hot “, we will have to analyze and see what it was. We need to take it as an experience and work harder in the future, because “outside” is another level! Too many words are not, we apologize.
I do not know how to explain why in the preliminaries I was so good and here so bad, I am not able to say. We were thinking of leaving the group or at least making more points.
Each one needs to be analyzed harder, we are probably weaker than I thought… or no weaker, but we have to work harder. We also have quality, but we have to work harder in the future so that we are more prepared when we have international matches.
Unfortunately, we will separate ourselves, most of us were together from U15. It was a good generation, I formed a family, today everyone takes it on its way, “said the 22 -year -old footballer.

The disappointment is very high, it is not the European championship we imagined. We were hoping to go through the groups, not just to win a match, because it is not normal to impose minimum goals. In the first two matches, when I met better opponents, I played better and held close to them. Now it was a very, very weak performance, we don't have to avoid it. I don't know what explanation to give.
