Bosnia – Romania 3-1. Marius Marin (27 years old), the midfielder of the national team, reacted after the disaster in Zenica. He was the protagonist of a controversial moment in the second half.
The “tricolor” fell to the turf after a duel with Haris Tabakovic, the Bosnian striker. He hit him violently with his elbow in the ear area, and the footballer collapsed immediately, with his ear full of blood.
The “central” Taylor did not even give a yellow card, and a few minutes later he directly eliminated Drăguș for a hard foul on Memic.
Marine he specified that the “central” confessed to him that he was wrong, but the Englishman spoke about a yellow card, not a red one, as the “tricolors” wanted.
He claims he will go to the hospital for further treatment after the heavy blow he received.
Marius Marin, conclusions after Bosnia – Romania 3-1: “We knew we would meet a very aggressive team”
“I'm ok at the moment but I think I should go to the hospital and get something put on. He opened me up completely here. It was a red card in my opinion.
We knew we were going to meet a very aggressive team, being the English referee as well. We have to analyze the match, how we played, and look at our mistakes. In the first half we played well, we had to take advantage of the opportunities we had. In the second half I can say that we entered timidly.
Our game didn't work out, in the first half we went out on construction, combinations. In the second half we were under pressure, we had to take more advantage of our players, of speed.
Oliver told me he was wrong and didn't give him a yellow card. La Denis didn't even wait and took out the red card. As we saw from the pictures, their player hits it. But that's what he thought.
There must be no alibi for this defeat. We knew we were coming here and meeting a very aggressive team. They took advantage of our mistakes, they scored two goals on two crosses”, Marius Marin told Digi Sport.
