“We have a big problem because of lack of training”

But in the more than three hours of discussions and analyzes, the situation of the players convened for “double” with Canada and Cyprus was also addressed, one of the problems being “their lack of physical training”.

“We have a big problem because of lack of training. It is a general state in Romanian football. When you are fine from a physical point of view, everything comes out: dribbling, steps … but we have a problem, “was one of the conclusions.

“Don't they look at others at what level they are?”

The staff of Mircea Lucescu has gathered, over the last year, the most important statistical data. “In a game you have to run 8-9 kilometers. Sometimes even 11. How can you run 11 kilometers in a match if, during the week, at workouts, run only 3 kilometers?”was one of the discussion points.

“These boys want to play at this level without workouts? They do not look at others, at what level they are, at what pace they have and how do they play? The biggest problem of our football is the lack of physical training of the players. Have to cope. International level, a player reaches even 13 kilometers per match”, The ones from the staff of the first representative with Burleanu and Stoichiță also discussed.

He also explained to Pancu: “Don't complain about resistance, so is me”

The problem is not new! The Sports Gazette wrote exclusively about the preparation of Romanian players during the European Championship in Slovakiawhere Mircea Lucescu and Daniel Pancu had a face -to -face discussion about the attitude and the last impression that the players must convey.

Pancu listened to his idol, but drew a painful conclusion. “You haven't seen, Mircea? They are wide, dead, finished! I only made two maximum intensity workouts and they were completed. They couldn't do anything, what to do more, what to do?!”Pancu reacted.

Lucescu laughing: “This is with the resistant I lived the other days”. Referring to the fact that including the players at the Great National were tired after the training sessions.

Becali reproached Lucescu caused Adrian Şut's injury: “It has no new methods”

Gigi Becali (67 years old) has understood that he sees Mircea Lucescu (80) guilty for the injury suffered by midfielder Adrian Şut (26) in the Cyprus – Romania match, score 2-2.

Adrian Şut was introduced in Nicosia in the 80th minute and went injured after only 6 minutes. Becali said it wasn't something serious. Gigi Becali alluded to the fact that the coach would not have developed with modern training methods, and that's why Adrian Şut came out injured.

“Sut did I do not know what a sprain, to see which. Now there are methods, the world advances at high speed, especially in football where there are billions and billions. There are new methods and methods. Any coach must be aware of the methods. I think you understand what I mean. It doesn't go now as in the old days. Let's choose 10 kilometers. It does not work anymore, now you have to do explosion training, not endurance ”, explained the FCSB patron A few days ago.

I didn't like Meme's statement. They think the national team stays, they don't train? The presence here is an honor, it becomes an obligation. And I, out of obligation, came to the national team. I had the obligation to Romanian football. It is because I was sentimental and I went on the same core of players who managed to take the team to the Euro. It was normal to give them another chance. There was not a cycle from one day to day. I cannot say that they did not give themselves, but they were surprised by their aggressiveness.
