Mircea Lucescu (80 years old), the Romanian coach, spoke about Horațiu Moldovan's gap at the press conference at the end friendly with Canada, lost with 0-3.
According to Mircea Lucescu, Moldovan will also defend in the match with Cyprus, from the preliminaries CM 2026, on September 9, from 9:45 pm
Mircea Lucescu's decision: “I don't think it's time to get a goalkeeper because he was wrong. Moldovan will not go wrong.”
“Moldovan must be noticed after the gap of this match. And goal 3 started from him. Instead of executing very quickly, he waited and then I lost the ball. He's a high -value player, he trusts the team.
We could play with another goalkeeper, but whoever comes to adapt, not play at random, do not throw the ball at random. The team built quite well. It's an important thing. Because, step by step, you have to get to control the matches.
There is no risk. I'll talk to him again. Do not think that a new player is coming and immediately gives maximum yield. Do not think that promoting another now will not lead to mistakes. I also like Sava's style, but I don't think it's time to get one goalkeeper because he was wrong. The second time will not make mistakes”, Said Mircea Lucescu, at the conference.
What Moldovan did rarely, usually only on networks. Do we have any contract that you have to defend Moldovan, who does not defend the club team? Sava is a holder in Udinese, who just beat San Siro. You are not allowed, porter, to have this attitude to the national team. You are not allowed to start driving.

It is a purely technical mistake, you are not allowed to put yourself under pressure. Your ball comes, do not complicate, you release. He also had bad luck, he couldn't go empty. I also saw his evolution … embarrassing. I mean, it was no longer Moldovan that we knew, attentive, agile. He had 2-3 hesitations.
