The national Cypriot proved the last round of courage and personality in the duel with Austria, score 0-1, a benefit that frightened him and put him in the “guard” on the tricolors. A crooked step in Nicosia would completely remove them, before the crucial disputes with Austria, on October 12, and Bosnia, November 15th. The test with Canada, 0-3, shaken the team's confidence, another reason for coach Mircea Lucescu (80 years old) to regret that he had to dispute.

All Moldovan?

The echoes of the error of the Romanian goalkeeper Horațiu Moldovan (27 years old) from the North Americans game also arrived in Ukraine, and the Kiev journalists took the player legitimized at Oviedo. “In the middle of the first half, the goalkeeper Horațiu Moldovan decided to be at least Lionel Messi. He received a pass from a teammate, wanted to dribble Ali Ahmed, although he was 2-3 meters from the gate line, but lost control of the ball. As a result, the Canadian player had to fulfill a simple formality“, Wrote the ones from Sport.It was a mistake in the second goal. The goalkeeper does not afford to do that. Maybe somewhere on the side, but not in the center! The goalkeeper cannot dribble in front of the gate. Probably Moldovan relaxed, he was too confident. It will certainly remain in the gate and for the match with Cyprus, it has to repair the mistake he made. He was partly to blame and at the third goal. He is a high -value goalkeeper, but in this match he did not do what he should have done. There is no risk to play again with Moldovan. We'll see, I'll talk to him again. I don't think it's time to punish him for the mistake he made. Will not repeat“, Pussed” Il Luce “.

Târnovanu, requested holder of impresario

As the coach does not seem determined to change the goalkeeper, the businessman Ioan Becali (73 years old) is upset that one of the ones he represents and strives to sell is always “skipped” in the scheme. “Târnovanu (no – from FCSB) is made a donkey! In the last three years, he was the number one player of the Romanian championship. It was the most fit, went to the Europa League optimum and took two championships, but that's it! After all, only the coach decides. That's my opinion. Otherwise, there are millions of opinions. I do not know what form or not Moldovan has. I only know that Târnovanu is being injured”, Declared Giovanni Becali, long in knives with Mircea Lucescu.

Without Munteanu

Louis Munteanu (23 years old) left the national canton, after the injury suffered before the friendly match Romania – Canada, score 0-3. The striker from CFR Cluj was subsequently under investigations, where he was discovered that he has a muscle injury to the left leg. To avoid aggravation of the injury, the newer was sent home. Romania will play without a true peak with Cyprus, if Denis Drăguș is injured. Munteanu is not the first peak to get injured in this action. The same thing happened with Daniel Bîrligea, and Mircea Lucescu decided in both cases not to take any substitute, although he was entitled. Thus, the coach risks reaching a very complicated situation. If Denis Drăguș suffers an injury in the match with Cyprus, the coach will have no optimal solution on the bench! “Il Luce” also has an offensive profile players, but who are used to play in the tape. Improvisations could be Dennis Man, David Miculescu, Alexandru Mitriță, Stefan Baiaram or Alexandru Dobre. Also, Florin Tanase also played as a new false at FCSB.

The winner omitted

Ștefan Baiaram (22 years old) was convened for the first time at the first representative of Romania, for the double against Canada, respectively Cyprus, from September. The star of the University of Craiova did not evolve in the friendly against Canada, lost by 0-3, but can debut in the Romanian shirt, if Mircea will decide to use it in the match with Cyprus. The extreme of Craiova impressed with his developments this summer, and the Romanian supporters voted for him as the best Romanian player in the Moon. 6 goals in 13 matches (Superliga and Conference League) scored Stefan Baiaram from the start of the new season. After receiving this title, Baiaram posted on the social networks a special message, thanks, which does not leave the trace of annoyance for the fact that it debuted at the national.

Stoichiță's opinion

Two days before the match, the Romanian delegation arrived in Cyprus, and Mihai Stoichiță (71 years old) announced that there will be changes in Mircea Lucescu's team. “First of all, we must have science and only after luck. I also saw the match against Canada. It's complicated to talk about a training game. Probably the thoughts were moving more to Cyprus and the third results, Austria, Bosnia. We have to be very serious. We must approach with another motivation and another vision. Cyprus I don't think it's the same team. Cyprus is at a favorable moment in club teams. Vlad Dragomir is here, in Pafos. Think about what emulation is in the international area of ​​matches. I know what's here I trained four years. It's another stadium, bigger. I think it will be easier from the point of view of the public. No pressure will be put on us. There will probably be many Romanians. Cypriots seem to attract more club teams to the national team. Probably there will be changes. Players have no debt after a friendly match. Just the image debt. Otherwise, it's a match with other connotations now“, Said Mihai Stoichiță, the technical director of the FRF.

Reghe's criticisms

The reactions flow after the stinging failure with Canada. Shortly after the disappointing match of Mircea Lucescu's students, Laurențiu Reghecampf reacted. The current coach of Hilal OmduMman is of the opinion that the Romanian national players were not focused. “There are two things to say from the beginning. The national team of Romania entered totally unprepared, and this thing was seen from heating. Munteanu is injured, you take Drăguș from the interview and put it in the field in a few minutes. Everything was anapoda. It was, rather, a holiday atmosphere than a test to prepare an official match with Cyprus. The game broke when you make that mistake, I can't even tell him a mistake, but a big gap of the goalkeeper. You are not allowed to make such mistakes at this level. From that moment, the match did not count for us. There were some occasions of Stanciu and a few good moments of the national team, but totally unprepared for the match last night. The preparation of this match was not the right thing. Canadians were much more prepared and much more active. We only stayed on foot, we went to every contact we had. I didn't like the match, but we have value players and I saw matches in which the national team looked much better. I trust I can make a good match in Cyprus“Said Laurentiu Reghecampf (49 years old).
