Former Romanian international Ilie Dumitrescu (57 years old) found out that Mirel Rădoi is very close to parting with Gaziantepafter the Turkish leadership would be dissatisfied with his behavior. Enthusiastically brought to the team, the tenure could end prematurely. However, Ilie Dumitrescu hopes that the information in the Turkish press is not true.
On Wednesday evening, Turkish journalists announced Radoi's imminent separation from Gaziantep, after he allegedly made a series of statements that would not have pleased the Turks. Moreover, Gaziantep has already found his replacement, and his mission seems to be coming to an end after only four matches, all failures.
“I've read it, there's a lot in the Turkish press. We hope it's not true,” said Ilie Dumitrescu, on Wednesday evening, at the Victory Cup awards ceremony.
How Ilie Dumitrescu commented on Gică Hagi's debut on the national team bench
Ilie Dumitrescu also analyzed the friendly match Georgia – Romania, score 1-1, the debut of Gică Hagi at the helm of the tricolors.
“It was an extremely useful test because Hagi was able to see 21 players. Apart from Drăgușin, who was not changed, he was able to give minutes to 21 players, which is an extraordinary thing, an evaluation will be made. It was seen that slowly, slowly the team is reacting to everything that this technical concept that he wants to impose on the national team means.
We saw good moments of play, we saw advanced pressing, we saw more advanced positioning. We didn't defend low anymore, we tried to stay with the defenders somewhere on the center line and try to recover. I saw a preoccupation with how we recovered the ball, to play only in front, only forward, to surprise the opponent.
He is a coach with fantastic energy, so he works a lot, he is preoccupied, he is obsessed with imposing this technical concept, I trust him, I saw a good reaction from the players, I saw determination, attitude, concentration and the concern to accumulate as much information as possible”, said Ilie Dumitrescu.
Ionel Danciulescu's ideas about Dinamo and the national team
If Dinamo had made 2-3 important transfers and brought some certainties to the team, it could have been their year, the year to fight for the championship, considering the less good situation of other teams, who suffered this season. Surely next year all the important teams in Romanian football will strengthen. Let's see if Boateng leaves, Gnahoré, a huge loss.
It's a little better compared to last season, but I was super disappointed with the last game, I expected a different evolution, a different tactical approach to the game. Unfortunately, as we were talking about before the game, it was a derby and anything could have happened, but in games like this and especially with FCSB, who have experienced, mature players who know how to play these games with stakes, the win was on their side.
– Ionel Danciulescu, at the event, about Dinamo
Romania's game was both good and bad, we must have faith in the national team, faith in Gică Hagi's ability to succeed in making this team a strong one, it takes time, things cannot change overnight, but we saw a different approach, a different attitude. If even Gică Hagi doesn't know Florinel Coman's ideal position, then no one else does. Florinel Coman played a lot in the lane, he gave a good performance there, but if Gică Hagi says that he is going forward, then let's give him credit.
