Gabi Tamaș believes that Mircea Lucescu should not have supported the press conference before Bosnia – Romania: “I was only thinking about the match”
“Me, in my mind, if I were Nea Mircea now, I wouldn't go to any conference. I was only thinking about the match. What, I can't send it in seconds?

The Romanian national team is looking for a rematch with Bosnia
The national team of Romania is looking for a rematch with Bosnia, after the failure suffered at the National Arena in the round match, score 0-1.
Romania is currently in 3rd place in Group H, of the 2026 World Championship preliminaries, with 10 points, 3 behind Bosnia, and 5 behind Austria.
For me it's not pressure, but a responsibility to make a competitive team that will go to the World Cup. Now we are playing against a team that did not deserve to win in Bucharest. If the referee gave us that penalty, which was perfectly valid, the match was different. We definitely dominated the match. I have no reason to fear this match.
It will be a difficult match with a team that has experienced players but also young players who have played with good teams in the Nations League. But this does not mean that we will have a difficult match, it will be an ordinary qualifying match.– Mircea Lucescuthe Romanian national team selector
