After the friendly Romania – Moldovascore 2-1, former international Ilie Dumitrescu (56 years old) had words of praise to the central defender Lisav Nair Eissat (20), who evolves for Maccabi Haifa.
Four footballers checked the first minutes in the national team in the national arena: Lisav Eissat, Kevin Ciubotaru, Stefan Baiaram and Cătălin Cîrjan. Eissat and Baiaram were holders, while Ciubotaru and Baiaram entered the course.
Lisav Eissat impressed Ilie Dumitrescu: “I think he will be the left defender with Austria”
The evolution of the defender from Maccabi impressed Ilie Dumitrescu. He said he sees Eissat holder in the left band of the defense at the match with Austria on Sunday. Nicușor Bancu, the right holder of the post, is suspended.
Eissat is a left foot stop, which can also evolve on that post.
“I think it will be the left defender at the match with Austria. You'll see! I liked it! Very good speed, hard to overcome 1 against 1. What solutions do you have for the left defender post?
Chipciu, Opruț, Eissat. I think it will be eisssed. He is a left foot player, I saw him very well and with the ball on his foot, it is ok ”, said Ilie Dumitrescu, according to digisport.ro.
Opruț, Eissat, Dragomir and Moruțan, before Romania – Moldova
Eissat played 8 games this season for Israeli. It is listed at 300,000 euros, according to transfermarkt.com.
The team was available not to lose duels. I had some good phases. I am satisfied. I have greatly reduced the average age, those who played can enter a larger group, not to reach the lack of 3-4 players to create problems.
Eissat convinced me, looks like a mature player, and Ciubotaru.
It has special qualities. Excellent 20 -year -old players. And the middle was fine, and Screciu with Dragomir behaved very well.
– Mircea Lucescu, the Romanian coach
