VIDEO. Mircea Lucescu's statements before the match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6H3ot_9x5c

“I would have preferred not to play this match, but to prepare the match with Cyprus, which becomes vital for the future of the national team. FIFA does not accept and does not allow any team to have an advantage in competition.

We meet a motivated team, which prepares its presence at the CM. Some of them have transferred to stronger teams to cope with the World Championship. For them it's not a friendly match.

I am worried that I do not find in the championship of Romania what I would like. I searched another peak, but our peaks, with more experience in the national team, Puşcaş and Alibec, are not. The peaks of attack in our championship are foreigners, who cannot help the national team.

After the European Junior Championship, more from the U19 I am interested in me, I called each one by asking them to come to the Romanian championship, to take the U21 rule. If they confirm to their teams, they can be summoned to the national team. Don't wait. They return to their club teams, play for teams in the 3rd, 4th division or where I send them. About 4-5 years old and I leave the circuit of the national team. ”, Said Mircea Lucescu, before the match, at the press conference.

The statements of Canada's coach

It will be hot, but we play late on Friday night, we think it cools down. They will have a very important match on Tuesday, so it is unknown to us what they will do with the first 11 Friday, but we know they will align a good team.

It will not be easy, they have a lot of good players who play at important clubs. We have already talked about their qualities, it will be an important challenge. Canada has not won on the field of a team in Europe since 2009, in Cyprus. We want to get two good victories (no with Romania and Wales)
