A match that had a double stake: a place in the European Championship and a place in the World Championship. The “Tricolori” missed the Euro, but qualified for the World Cup.

Andrei Dăncuș wants to follow in Mirel Rădoi's footsteps: “I don't think I was born when he was playing”

Bennettone of the basic players of Romania U17, spoke about this qualification, and at the end he explained that he was not born when his coach was playing, but he hopes to surpass him in terms of performances.

“It was an unforgettable feeling, a very nice experience. We hope to perform even better. Yes, I thought it was possible.

For now, my colleagues from FCSB have not congratulated me. I will see them tomorrow. No, Mr. Rădoi didn't write to me either. I hope the boys will congratulate me, I can't wait to see them.

Honestly, after the last match there was no big celebration because we missed qualifying for the Europeans, but there was a little joy because we qualified for the World Cup. We hope to have some test matches by then.

It's very nice, it's a lot of work. You can see that he has a lot of experience and I hope to get as much advice from him as possible.

I don't think I was born when Mirel Rădoi was playing, but I saw a few phases with him. I hope to reach even higher than he was”, said Andrei Dăncuș, according to sport.ro.
