Daniel Pancu notes 3 young Romanian footballers: Mario Tudose (20 years old, stop), Yanis Pîrvu (18, extreme), both from FC Arges, and Umit Akdag (21), who evolves in Alanyaspor, in Turkey.
Tudose is just at the center of a possible transfer to FCSB. And Pancu sees potential in the defender, as in his colleague from Pitesti, Pîrvu.
Video | Daniel Pancu's bets: “Tudose would become the best U21 player from FCSB. On Pîrvu I wanted to convene it to the national team.”
“Mario Tudose He wins a lot of duels, he is a player with a nice, real progress. It's good. That's why I summoned him and regretted that I had to give up. I do not know how it reacts under pressure, but it has a very good character, a very good physical. It is for the future, for sure, not for nothing was seen by Benfica.
I think they can handle FCSB, given their problems with U21 players. Would be the best U21 from them.
If we talk about FC Argeș, I have another favorite there: Yanis Pîrvu. I wanted to convene it to the euro. I see him a copy – as a run, and in style – of Nicușor Stanciu. Leit-leit! He tells you one who saw him in many matches in the 2nd League, “said Daniel Pancu, at GSP Live.
“Akdag will be prepared for a big team”
Pancu did not forget the Umit Akdag, who knows well from Romania U21.
“Akdag He has three games at the new team, Alanyaspor, integrally in all parties. I watched the summaries, make mistakes, but in a year will be a good player, you will see. He already has almost a season played in Goztepe, a year spent in Toulouse, in Ligue 1. He is a holder in the Superliga Turkey. Next season will already be prepared for a big team. You'll see!“Added Pancu.
