Mircea Lucescu, after the qualification of the U19 national in the European semifinals: “Fantastic ambition and dedication”
“Victoria is important only if it brings another victory. Otherwise it brings only regrets. That is the message I transmitted. Of course I congratulated them, there is no point in repeating what I transmitted.
I really liked how they played, the team spirit, the organization of the game. In the morning, when I talked to Ion Marin, I told him that it was a good team. I liked it, even with the Spaniards they played well and it was normal to increase.
I would like this growth to continue at the match with the Netherlands, not to stop here. We still have this unfavorable thing to relax after a victory like that.
Today I started less well, had some situations, but I came back. It is extraordinary to see this to young players, a fantastic ambition and dedication. Do not forget, where they will go, that the national team offers them popularity, a very good team, many appreciations and friends.
Do not forget, no matter how long they will remain abroad and when they return. The spirit shown tonight must be transmitted to all other teams“, Were the ideas expressed by Mircea Lucescu after the final whistle on the” Triumph Arch “.
