There are five days left until the start of the match in Istanbul between Turkey and Romania. Time has no more patience with us! The final preparations are being made for the confrontation that can bring us closer to the dream of being again at a World Championship after a break of 28 years.

  • Turkey – Romania will be played on March 26, from 19:00, match broadcast by Prima TV. If we win, we play the final for qualification against Slovakia/Kosovo on 31 March 2026

  • Gazeta Sporturilor will have 6 experienced reporters in Istanbul, who will send the most important information, the hottest reports and a series of multimedia correspondence.

Mirel Rădoi, before Turkey – Romania: “I don't know where they will find it, but they must find those resources”

Mirel Rădoi was an important footballer of the first national team in the 2000s, collecting 67 selections and two goals for the national team. He participated in Euro 2008 with the tricolors.

The current technician from FCSB was questioned by the GSP reporter at the end of the victory with UTA (1-0) to highlight his expectations for the match on the shores of the Bosphorus.

“A much more valuable opponent than us. To balance the values, we have to compensate in the organization. We cannot have any doubts about how Mircea Lucescu will prepare the match. Every player, not only those who will start the game, I mean everyone in the team… They have to bring something extra.

I don't know where they will find them, but they must find those resources. You need 101 percent in this game. Those on the bench must transmit any positive energy to those on the field. This is the only way we can move forward.

We have to support the national team, regardless of the choices of the selector. Whether we think they are good or that some could have been better. We have to be with the players, with the national team, with Mircea Lucescu, regardless of the team, the system, who will play and how long he will play,” said the red-blue coach.

Darius Olaru was not summoned by Mircea Lucescu to the national team: “He is very, very motivated”

Darius Olaru provided an assist for the winning goal with UTA signed by David Miculescu. The FCSB captain was not on Mircea Lucescu's list for the tie in Turkey.

“As I have seen him in training during this period, he is a very, very motivated footballer. He has nothing to prove or show anything that he has not been called up to the national team. I don't think there are any problems from this point of view.

Let's hope that he will also come back, like others will come back, there were 11 players with this virus, who were on antibiotics”, replied Mirel Rădoi.
