Although it was not evolved in an official match at the club level in April, Horațiu Moldovan (27 years old) The main option remains for the post of goalkeeper to the national team of Romania. The coach Mircea Lucescu (80 years old) used the holder in the users of 4 matches, but the goalkeeper flagrantly joined the failure of the friendly match with Canada, score 0-3.
Borrowed by Atletico Madrid to the newly promoted Real Ovădo, Horațiu Moldovan is just a reserve. Following the errors in the match with Canada, the Spanish press analyzed the porter's performance.
The Spanish press analyzed Horațiu Moldovan's gifts in Romania – Canada 0-3: “Makes his life even harder”
“Moldovan's incredible gap makes his life even harder”, The journalists from Mundo Deportiv are titled.
“The season did not start in the best possible way for one of the players borrowed by Atletico Madrid. We refer to Horațiu Moldovan, who is reserved at Real Oviedo.
Despite the fact that he does not play at Oviedo, the goalkeeper was convened at the national of Romania, and against Canada committed a flagrant error, an unprecedented blah, which could determine what will happen to him from now on”, The Iberians concluded.
Mircea Lucescu continues to rely on Horațiu Moldovan: “It must be noted for the gap of this match”
Following the failure with Canada, Mircea Lucescu announced in the press conference that it will continue to be based on Horațiu Moldovan.
“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 you 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.
