DC United manager: “I'm happy Louis is back. It was tough for him”
Louis Munteanu started the away match on the bench for New England Revolution, but DC United's technician introduced the Romanian in the 60th minute.
His introduction to the field failed to change anything in the game of his team, which lost the duel in Foxborough, 0-1.
It was the second match that the Romanian played after the injury suffered during the match against Inter Miami, played on March 7. Rene Weiler, his coach, spoke about Louis Munteanu's situation.
“I'm happy that Louis is back. It was difficult for him because he had been playing well with Inter Miami, but then the injury came and he was out for a few weeks.
It's not easy, it really wasn't easy for him. He fought in this match as well, but he didn't have clear chances. The first step was to get minutes to get back into the rhythm,” said Rene Weiler, at the press conference at the end of the game.
