Former great midfielder Basarab Panduru would see Zoran Mitrov, the right winger from FC Botosaniat Dinamowhere he believes the 24-year-old could grow under Zeljko Kopic.

Panduru was impressed by Mitrov's assist for Ongenda, in the failure with U Cluj, score 1-3. The right wing entered the center, then passed “from the ankle”, with the outside of the right leg, and took the entire opposing defense by surprise.

The filter pass left Ongenda alone with the goalkeeper, and the Frenchman scored. Panduru, however, charged Mitrov for missing from a 1-on-1 position with the opposing goalkeeper.

The pass from the first goal is high-class, exceptional, after which I don't understand how you end up alone with the goalkeeper and you don't even score the way you should. The ball comes to your right foot, it's easier to hit the short corner, it's harder to hit the long one with the wide one. But if you shoot short, it means you have no business scoring goals.

That is, you want to score on the goalkeeper's corner, the only corner where the goalkeeper can defend something. Maybe it's time, I don't know, he's 24 years old, to take the step. It seems to me that he is hitting his stride, he needs to change something and I don't know if what he is doing now is enough.

He has 7 goals scored last year in the championship, he has four 4 so far, he could reach 7 again. About where could he go for someone to show him the right way and play, grow?

I'm thinking about Dinamo. On the right side at Dinamo there would be a variant, with a Kopic to give him direction, to tell him what to do and he to do what the coach tells him. It will probably grow. So, I'm still thinking he has a problem and he's taking it easy. He sure knows footballPanduru declared at Prima Sport, quoted by orangesport.ro.

  • For the right flank in attack, Dinamo currently has Danny Armstrong, Alberto Soro and Adrian Mazilu at their disposal.
