Romania U19 defeated 3-0 Denmark and secured its presence in the penultimate act of the competition, where he will meet the similar team of the Netherlands.

What Mihai Stoichiță transmitted to the Romanian footballers U19 after qualifying in the semifinals: “I am not satisfied”

“It is a premiere for Romanian football! One was a few days ago when it was the first victory at a European Championship (no for the Romanian U19 selected). Today when I spoke to them I said, «There was no one in Romania in a semifinal at a European Championship U19. You can write history ». They wrote history.

Now I went and said, “I am not satisfied, I want the final, to do them all if possible.” In any case, I am admired. I am glad that Lucescu came and spoke to them because he is an impetus for their future.

I think we have authentic values ​​in this team that can carry on and U21 and the national team over a few years.

(No. deleted from the upset with U21?) I can't say it was. It was a disappointment. We were expecting more. That is, it happens in football. I didn't play bad, maybe the last match was our weakest. That's life. We need to continue to qualify for these final tournaments and repair what we were wrong.

I am a man, I am not made of stone. Great joy, yes. I am glad first of all for our future. I say that it is a generation that offers us such footballers, who play in Division A, many others abroad … and to tell you something: we have 4 peaks, we never had 4 peaks in the same generation.

(no future great?) That's what the communists could say. I just say we have a future, so much. The Netherlands is as difficult as Denmark, but everything is playing at the level of a generation, not with the peaks of the Netherlands, which are older with 5-6 years. They are players of the same generation, even if there may be discrepancies.

In any case, did Denmark seem like an easy team? I think they were at stake too, we had a little chance. We need to recognize. We did not get a goal, we came back, we gave, we continued to play with confidence. See what this trusted capital means? He gave them strength to withstand until the end not to give goal and score.

At the end of the match I also said: “You saw that I was right? Good. I do not get the semi-final, I want the final” so much! “, Said Mihai Stoichiță at the end of the match Denmark U19-Romania U19, score 0-3.
