Raul Rusescu: “The Hague opened the gates for the players”
“Suddenly, we have solutions. We see a Hindrich who defends well, a Târnovanu who defends well. You already have 3 solutions, Ionuț Radu will defend, but you still have two solutions. Matei Ilie played very well, Rus was flawless.
Coubiș played very well. The same doll. Eissat did his job, Borza entered well, Strata and Sorescu did their job. If you stay in 3-4-1-2, in the number 10 position, Olaru played flawlessly. This is Olaru's position. He played very well.
You have a Man who didn't play, Bancu, Ratiu. You have solutions. You changed the system and found solutions. That's what a selector has to do.
You also have Screciu on the bench, in position number 6. You have Băluță, Marius Marin, Răzvan Marin. You have 4 players there. Hagi opened the doors to the players. David Matei also entered well”, declared Raul Rusescu, at GSP Live Special.
