“I hoped until the last moment. I felt on the ground Do you realize when you are stronger than your opponent and create many occasions of empty. Yes, I had the bar, scissors, I wasted some good counterattack opportunities in the first half. I am happy for the 3 points, for me, for the national team, that's all that matters.
At the bar I saw empty. That was to be, bad luck. I hope to give the following matches, but the most important thing is that I took the 3 points ”, said Mihăilă after the match, at the first sport.

“I got in front of him [Posch]. I don't know if it was or not, I forced the penalty a little, I admit. I tried to pass it, I put in front of him. As an attacker you have to risk in the box. “
In Bosnia it will be a fighting match. We have to plan everything like tonight. I thought the match very well, I did what mystery told us, I applied on the field and it was seen. We have created many opportunities, we put them in difficulty many times and I think they had problems with us today.
