Dan Petrescu, before Bosnia – Romania: “We have to hope a little for the 1st place, maybe we'll be lucky”

Dan Petrescucoach free of contract after parting with CFR Cluj, the one who has 95 selections for the national team and 12 goals, is counting on two players who will make the difference: Dennis Man, PSV's winger, and Ianis Hagi, Alanyaspor's midfielder.

In addition, the “Badger” is so optimistic that it even hopes for the first place in group H. The calculations are much more complicated for this position.
