Marius Lăcătuș, the former great striker of the Romanian national, was impressed by Victoria with Austria, score 1-0. He praised Vlad Dragomir, who was for the first time in an official match under the tricolor.
Pafos's midfielder checked only the third appearance for Romania. He had played with 30 minutes with San Marino and was a holder in the friendly with Moldova.
Also, Marius Lăcătuș noticed that Romania's players showed quietness in the game, both in defense and in attack. And he also had words of praise to the coach Mircea Lucescu.
Marius Lăcătuș: “For Dragomir it was the first official match as a holder. Down the hat for effort, aggression”
“A good match. Mu liked the national team. First of all, their attitude, availability of the effort, the aggressiveness, the fact that they respected the tactical plan that the selected has imposed. As a date they came out. And the inspiration of Mr. Lucescu in choosing the first 11 and of the changes. For Dragomir it was the first official match.
Down the hat for effort, aggression, for how the team helped and in attack and defense. It's hard to go to a player and say that was it. It's hard to choose a player to say it was louder than the others.
It seemed to see them that they had the peace needed to be able to win. And on the defense and attack phase. But especially in defense, I did not see a panicked team. Very aggressive and very good in duels one against one, ”said Marius Lăcătuș, at the Digi Sport Special show.
I do not know if you remember, but when I played with Pafos, I said that it is a top team, and Vlad Dragomir has to play at the national team, I do not understand why he is not summoned. And everyone took me to the cool, because it's all about us all the time: when I say something, I look like hair!
