Romania – Moldova 2-1. Ionuț Radu, the holder of the national team of Mircea Lucescu in the friendly won on the National Arena, had a clear message at the end of the match.
The goalkeeper from Celta Vigo was summoned for the first time in the mandate of Mircea Lucescu. He told those who call him arrogant inside the federation to tell him what problems they have!
Ionuț Radu, after Romania – Moldova 2-1: “If anyone wants to say I am arrogant, tell me!”
“An important victory, many new players, who have started to know each other today. It gives us moral for the match with Austria. I lacked Romania, it is my country and I always come with pleasure. Mircea Lucescu called me to ask me how I am, I told him that I was fine and that was all,” Radu said.
About the autogol, arising from a foul in obvious attack, Radu said: “There was a high ball, the striker shook my head. I could not catch it. I talked to the referee, he said he thought the striker shook his head.”
The boys are motivated, everyone wants to reach the European (no – world). We are not favorite, we are not in our hand. We need to think about our matches, take the 9 points and see
– Ionuț Radu
In conclusion, he had a hard message in the direction of FRF. “A lot of talk about me, I never refused the national. I did not tell someone directly that I just want to be a holder if I come. I wasn't arrogant. If anyone wants to tell me that I am arrogant, tell me, not give it to sources in the press! I grew up personal, I didn't have a good time ago. But I have reached a good level and I am happy. ”
