“That player doesn't understand anything anymore”

• Bosnia – Romania will be played on Saturday, November 15, from 21:45.

• Romania – San Marino will take place three days later, on November 18, from 21:45.

He made up the first “11” for the “final” in Bosnia and he has a doubt: what does Louis Munteanu (23 years old), the CFR striker, understand about Lucescu's selection?

The reason? In his view Panduruthe player was not called up when he was scoring on the conveyor belt in the Superliga, and now, out of shape and out of the circuit due to injuries, he receives the call-up without any problems.

Basarab Panduru, upset by the selection of Mircea Lucescu: “If you come with someone else in the attack, it's not ok”

Panduru made up the first “11” and spoke about the situation in the attack, where, in his opinion, Daniel Bîrligea (25 years old) should be the starter. Any other solution would not please the former attacking midfielder.

In the rest, they would keep the nucleus that brought the important victory against Austria in the last stage, score 1-0, at the National Arena, which is why the “tricolors” still hope for direct qualification, beyond the barrier already ensured by the League of Nations.

“Let me make your team: Rațiu, Ghiță, Rus, Bancu. At goalkeeper, if possible (no – he has a small injury)it's Radu. If not, Tarnovanu. There's no one who wasn't there at all, so Târnovanu only if Radu can't. I guess not Aioani, I don't think anyone else.

We have Ghita – Russian. Chipciu yes, but now Bancu, in this match. Marius Marin – Dragomir – Man, the little “King”. (no – Ianis Hagi)Mihăilă and Bîrligea.

I did not expect to summon Louis Munteanu. The man doesn't understand anything anymore. When he scored a hundred thousand goals, he sent him to Portugal to travel thousands of kilometers to play an innings there. He took Alibec.

Now he does not play at CFR, he is not in the squad due to injuries. What is there to understand? I don't think he understands anything anymore. When he was fit and worth it, no…but now, yes.

Bîrligea will play as a starter. I don't see it any other way. If you come with someone else, I don't think it's ok. We can't afford it. We have to have players who have matches on their feet. Dragomir cannot be missing, as he plays and what he played with Austria, as he plays in Pafos, as much as the man runs, I don't think he should be left out in a match like this.

Marius Marin is our only starting player in Serie A. Man is in great form. It is the “Hand” that was supposed to be. Ianis is also starting to play,” Panduru said on Prima Sport 1.

What the Romanian national team should look like, in the vision of Basarab Panduru: I. Radu – Rațiu, Ghiță, Rus, Bancu – M. Marin, Dragomir, Hagi – Man, Bîrligea, Mihăilă.
