Gheorghe Hagi, interview in the Turkish press, before the dam: “Every day we discuss this topic”

“(How are Ianis Hagi and his teammates preparing for the World Cup tie they will play against Turkey?) Every day, in every discussion, we definitely mention this topic. The team is fully focused! They are all focused on this match and I hope they get in good form and spring a surprise.

(Who is the favorite?) Most people point to Turkey as favourites, but that's only because they're playing on their own turf! I think this is their only advantage. And we are a national team that participated in the European Championship, we have experience.

(Who is Turkey's most important player?) Hakan Calhanoglu is a very experienced player. Through the developments at the clubs where he currently plays, through his experience and age, he is an extremely important player for the team.

(How do you feel about the atmosphere and pressure of the match?) The stadium doesn't matter, they will play on the field and give their best! It will be a fight and we have to know how to manage emotions well. I think the team has the experience to do it.

(How important is the role of Mircea Lucescu?) The players make the difference, but it's the coach who plans the success. Lucescu, with all his experience, will instill confidence and courage in the players. He handles off-field planning, tactics and analysis.

(What are the assets to win against Turkey?) We must be optimistic and believe in ourselves. We have to convey this to everyone, especially the fans. It's one match and anything is possible. I hope we catch a good day and do the right thing on the field!“said Hagi, for sporx.com.

• Recently, Gică Hagi transferred the majority stake in Farul Constanța to his brother-in-law Gică Popescu, a move intended to free him from suspicions of conflict of interest in the event that he becomes a selector. It is expected that Hagi will succeed Mircea Lucescu on the bench of the first representative team.
