The Romanian national team has to pass the barrage in March, and the first opponent is Turkey. In case of a victory, Romania will meet the winner of Slovakia-Kosovo on March 31. Both play-off games, played in one leg, will take place for us away from home.
Edward Iordănescu, the former Romanian coach, stated on Tuesday, on Digi, that Turkey sent several people to Romania to analyze the players that Mircea Lucescu regularly calls up to the national team. From the Super League, Daniel Bîrligea (FCSB), Alexandru Chipciu (U Cluj) and Nicușor Bancu (U Craiova) started for the national team in the past matches. Speedsters Dobre, Petrila and Manea also received invitations.
“We are leaving with a second chance, we are playing against a caliber opponent, away. However, such matches must be prepared in the smallest detail. The Turks sent people here to Romania to analyze the players at the matches.
It's a high-stakes match in difficult conditions. We know how the Turks live matches, the work must be done in stages. How was his health, it's clear that this work process affected him. But the staff tried to compensate as much as possible“said the General's son.
Also, not long ago, Vincenzo Montella, Chivu's former colleague at AS Roma, went to the Inter training camp to take the pulse of Hakan Çalhanoğlu. This while Mircea Lucescu returned from Begia, where he received the doctors' approval to sit on the bench in Istanbul, and is recovering.
