It's about:
- Radu Drăgușin (23, stop, Tottenham)
- Andrei Rațiu (27, right defender, Rayo Vallecano)
- Denis Drăguș (25, striker, trabzonspor)
Also, the former national striker says that Rațiu would cope without problems with a superclub like Barcelona!
Video | What Romanian footballers impress Ciprian Marica today: “I do not understand why Barcelona does not take Rațiu faster!”
“Without making tops … Today, I love Drăguș, I love Drăgușin. I am sure of them. Drăgușin is a good central defender, with a waist, with good effort, with force. He has quality, not by chance he saw Tottenham, not by chance 30 million euros were paid on him. Deserve.

Radu Drăgușin was injured this year
Drăguș I like fantastic, has a technical quality, a capacity for effort, speed … he's a good player. Too bad he fails more in Trabzonspor. I expect to leave.
I also had this problem, financially. When you are on a high team, it allows you to pay you a good salary. The decision to leave there, after a weak season, comes with a salary decrease. You have to agree to accept that your salary will fall. In these situations, it is said that you don't necessarily take a step in the back. That you just come a little back and you return stronger, you push yourself. It's just that the life of a sportsman is short, sometimes you take a step back and you may not come back where you are now.
Returning, Drăguș seems to me to have a lot of quality. Just don't play and trust him.

Denis Drăguș did not impose on Trabzonspor
The 3rd is Rațiu. What a quality he has, what a footballer he is! It may fit less to us, but Barcelona would paint. What a quality it has, what an effort capacity! I don't understand why Barcelona doesn't take it faster! I swear! It's over Kound. Rațiu is over. Ok, neglect the defensive part, needs a system that is much more offensive, than in Barcelona.
At the national team was the only one who had a strength to get in front. Sometimes it neglects the defense, yes … but it managed to be the best right defender in La Liga. Is that accident? I do not believe, “Marica told Podcastul GSP” 2 to 1 “.

Andrei Rațiu had an excellent season at Rayo
“We will not have a better national”
Do we have future? Do players and better generations come from behind? What Marica believes, after seeing at work in recent weeks small nationals:
“Honestly, what I saw does not give me hope that we can form a better national in the future. We are about the same level. It does not seem to have individualities to shine or stand out more than now. I would not create too much hope that we will succeed in the future.
Yes, at U21 I died of strange, when we had 1-0 with Spain and they returned us …. Conjuncts will be, good matches will be. To have constant in results and form a world team … it's hard for me to believe. We are not there.
Because the plan is not good, the plan is only at the declarative level. Financial we are very stupid. Football and sport must be profitable, this is not what nobody understands. Either we choose the state to get involved, and then give everyone more money, or create a business opportunity. If it will not be a business opportunity, people will not come. “
