Giani Kiriță: “The criticisms of Mircea Lucescu came against the background of unfavorable results”

Someone did not impress me in particular, but the team overall, together with Nea Mircea, who, after all, was criticized and told us to have little patience. The criticisms came against the background of unfavorable results, after all. We did not know how to keep the result in Cyprus and it cost us, and it costs us.

Think, with three points taken in Cyprus, where I was now. And the match with Bosnia, but let's say it was the first. But with three points in Cyprus I was fine now. Much better than we are now.
