Emil Sandoi analyzed live at GSP LIVE Special Start team sent by Mircea Lucescu in the match Romania – Austriafrom the preliminaries of the World Cup.
Emil Săndoi is not at all surprised by the starting team chosen by Mircea Lucescu. Ianis Hagi was expected to be a holder with Austria. He believes that Lucescu was put in holder and with Moldova for the midfielder to have several minutes standing, given that he has only 4 games on the club team this season.
Emil Săndoi, about Mircea Lucescu's team: “I expected Ianis Hagi”
Emil Săndoi.
“I remember that after the match with Moldova several forecasts were made about the team in the match with Austria. Compared to the forecasts made after the match, there are some surprises. Maybe the world thought he would play Ghiță, Popescu appears. In the middle was the injury of Răzvan Marin, who asked questions, Dragomir appears, who also played with Moldova.
Regarding Hagi, to be honest, I expected to enter from the beginning in this match. With Moldova he played more because, later entering the competition, he needed standing games. Otherwise, I think we were all thinking about this team, with a few question marks that each of us had.
Immediately after the match with Moldova, I said that that party was beneficial, because it can give the coach another 2-3 variants, which is happening. It gives you the opportunity to win a few players for the official parties, ”said Emil Săndoi, at GSP Live Special.
