“Pancu was even put in difficulty to choose”

Among other things, the former attacker also spoke about his direct involvement in the U-21 national team, being asked by the controversial episode from Euro 2025, namely the non-removal of Cătălin Cîrjan by the coach Daniel Pancu.

Marius Niculae was present today at the presentation of Dinamo's new equipment: “I think it is the most beautiful equipment”

Marius Niculae believes that Dinamo, at this moment, needs experienced players, who will add value to the team and from which young players to learn and inspire. Also, Niculae also spoke about the tensions in the cantonment of the national youth team, declaring that Cîrjan was upset about Pancu's decision not to convene.

“It happened to present Dinamo equipment many times.

I like the equipment, why not like it. It is a brand due to which Dinamo has reached the list of big teams in Europe, is a very well -known brand and is a very good move by Dinamo through the partnership with Puma.

I think it is the most beautiful equipment, Dinamo had to have a lot of equipment with such a renowned.

The team, as the coach said, probably waits for reinforcements, it's normalimportant players left, brought some players that I know very well, two of them, I mean Cristi Mihai and Codruț, the goalkeeper. You also need experienced playerswhich will add value to the team, and these young players have to learn from them.

Asked by Dinamo's insolvency, Niculae is optimistic that this is the first step of “dogs” to new performances and European cups.

They lifted the sting last year very much, no one expected at the beginning of the season. If anyone was talking at the beginning of the season that you want to go to the play-off, there were probably a lot of jokes on this. Now, given that it has been out of insolvency and if you rank on a place that allows you to play in European cups, it is a very good thing, this has been waiting. I think things go to a positive area with this insolvency exit. Now he has to take care of money, spend his head and bring players to keep Dinamo at least where he was last season.

I am waiting for Dinamo's new stadium, I am waiting for the bulldozer, I think, hope will last, we will see when, given the financial situation in the country, we probably have to wait, but I am convinced that it will be done in the end.

Niculae revealed that coach Daniel Pancu did not convene Cîrjan at the youth national, because he was in difficulty to choose, as all players showed exemplary behavior from all points of view.

I do not comment on what the impressions say, indeed, with Cătălin I had a good relationship, I was very close to the players and this is one of my roles in the national team, to manage the things between players, coach and staff. It was strictly choosing the selection of the then. Cătălin was not the only one who left, left and tudose and baiaram injured but He was even put in difficulty to choose, because they behaved in a disciplinary cantonment, involvement in training and team program, here was a choice of selector.

I didn't get to talk to Cătăliin, that He was very upset, I remember coming out of that groupit is normal to be upset, I know what goes through, because I have gone through similar moments, but that is life, it has to go ahead, demonstrate on the ground that he was right and not the coach And, as I said, he has to learn from these experiences, I learned, I hope the same. Because it was just the coach's option, not other criteria. ”Said Marius Niculae.
