The former champion of Romania declared himself impressed by the game played by the national team and believes that this was one of the best successful matches of the “tricolors” in the last period.

The former champion with Steaua noted the attitude, pressing and involvement of all the players used by Gheorghe Hagi.

“It was one of the most successful matches of the national team in recent times. From possession and pressing, I saw desire and attitude in all the players. From my point of view, it was a successful match.”

Rotariu believes that the coach's energy and the message sent to the players contributed to the solid performance in Ghencea.

“Of course, the energy of Gică (No. Hagi) on the bench is also important, but probably the fact that he told the players to take more risks also mattered. Every player performed well, I can't say about any of them that they were weaker. There were very few mistakes and I think that's an important thing.”

Iosif Rotariu: “The most beautiful goal was by Louis Munteanu”

The former international also focused on the phase in the first half, when Louis Munteanu scored spectacularly, but the success was canceled for a non-existent offside.

“The most beautiful goal was that of Louis Munteanu. I say that he has very good evolutions in America, where he plays, he scored many goals, and now he has continuity in the national team as well.

It would seem that he is the first solution, now it also depends on how Bîrligea will recover and when he will get back in shape. But Louis Munteanu is a spike that speculates on any mistake and has very good executions. He should be the first solution and I think he will be.

The midfield was very good, dynamic. The only fixed point was Tudor Băluță, while the others changed their roles, but everything was balanced. I think all departments did a very good job today.”
