In September, the national team of Romania will have two actions: the tricolors will evolve in a friendly match with Canada, on the 5th, on the National Arena, and four days later they will meet Cyprus, in a match that will take place in the World Cup preliminaries.

In this context, Mircea Lucescu (80 years old) conceived a list of 19 strangers convened, in principle, for the two parties. Not surprisingly, the coach left Ianis Hagi, a free contract player for almost three months and who would have understood with the Turks from Fatih Karagumruk.
Mircea Lucescu explained why the midfielder will not evolve under the tricolor this time. “It is practically impossible, because it has no team. I have no right to convene a player who has no team. We will see, given that he will have a team and play … I understand that he is training, I talk to him all the time.
It is also an possibility to bring it only to be present to the national team. We will see, just that at the moment there is no problem, because it has no team. We don't even know where to convene.
It seems that there is a chance to resolve his situation. There is a chance until the end, there is one last possibility that he, if he fails to obtain what he wants during this period, at the last moment, to not lose his training, to play 3-4 months in various conditions compared to what he initially wanted! “said Mircea Lucescu, according to Fanatik.
