Ioan Andone said that Mircea Lucescu is feeling better. Also, Ioan Andone is of the opinion that the selector should not have sat on the bench with Turkey, considering his medical history.
Ioan Andone: “I spoke with Mircea Lucescu today. He also has fibrillations since December”
“I spoke with Mircea Lucescu today. I called him in the morning, he didn't answer and he called me at around one o'clock. He told me that he was better, that he was in the hospital, he was waiting, he had finished the tests to be done. Fatigue and stress, he also has fibrillations. They were repeated, he also had them in December. He didn't have a heart attack, pre-infarction, etc.
I spoke with him today. He called me. I didn't want to disturb, I knew he was in the hospital. I told I told him to take care of him. He said maybe he shouldn't have gone to Turkey, maybe I don't know what. He should not go to Turkey, he should stay at home. He doesn't have the fibrillations of yesterday, of today. It's his passion, but is health above anything else? Where did he end up with his passion? He's fine now, he's fine. It's important that it's good, so we can see what we're doing.
Until I see that Gica is the next selector, I don't comment. Nea Mircea has experience. Gica built a team, an academy, many players worked with him. There's a lot to discuss, and the players… you can't lose duels, stay with the defense line where you can't do it like that. If you want to do something, you have to develop the game. How nea Mircea did in certain matches. You can't take a match to 0-0, at that score you don't qualify. You must be able to reach the gate. “, Ioan Andone transmitted on the Football Club show from Digi Sport.
We haven't qualified for 32 years, is it an analyst problem? He must have something to work with. See the U21 rule, how many are still holders and how many are not. There are hidden problems. If even Mircea Lucescu, who ends up in the stress hospital, has no experience and is not prepared, then who? Let's see if Gică Hagi comes and can change something. What should Bîrligea do, if Man, Mihăilă and Ianis Hagi were not close to him? The first half was a display of defense, even with 6 in the line.
