No motivation was needed anymore [suplimentară]. We all know why we are here. Let's win the tour! Of course you can!
I am an attacker, I have to mark. I am glad that I marked and first of all that I helped my team to win. It is a unique feeling to score for the Romanian national, especially in such very important matches, with the qualification on the table.
We all know who Mr. Mircea Lucescu is. He said he was proud of us and congratulated us.
Guaea copied me! (no – with the way he celebrated his own goal) I told him that [Ronaldo] It is my idol, it copied me, but to enjoy it. It's not a problem.
