“It's a nice feeling, the family was also at the stadium, I was happy with them. There were also friends from Romania, who asked me for tickets. I started very well, after I had a bit of luck, the red card, then 11 meters… I didn't expect to start so well. Team Steaua (no-FCSB), all respect!
We also talked at halftime that we have to stay strong, because they are fighting more than we expected. We knew they were a very good team, but we didn't expect them to be so good after the red card. Captain Olaru, especially for the goal he scored. Maybe I should have attacked him a bit more, but I didn't expect him to shoot.
A wonderful goal, respect! Life is beautiful in Switzerland, thank God for everything. Romanian parents, Romanian friends, I have only positive feelings for the country, I have been many times, I felt very good. I have relatives in Arad, in Suceava, I could never say anything negative“, said Flavius Daniliuc, according to digisport.ro.
Regarding the possibility of accepting the call-up to the Romanian national team, the central defender pointed out: “I received many messages of encouragement: “Let's go to Romania”, “Let's go to the national team”. There is still the option (no to play for Romania), I only had 3 matches (no to the Austrian national team), I never close the door. There are still discussions, we haven't closed the door completely“.
