The Captain of the U21 national of Romania, Louis Munteanu (23 years old), is prepared by the step at the Great National, after the disappointing performance of the team prepared by Daniel Pancu (47 years) at Euro 2025.
Romania suffered 3 defeats from so many matches, 0-1 with Italy, 1-2 with Spain and 1-2 with Slovakia. One of the 2 goals successful by “tricolors” was scored by Louis Munteanu, in the match with Spain, in which Pancu's students led to the end, but scored 2 goals within 3 minutes.
Louis Munteanu is prepared to take the step at the great national of Romania: “There I want to reach”
“Disappointing. I expected to play better, to make more points, I was hoping for a qualification, I was trusting the boys, but unfortunately, in the key moments, we all failed. There were heavy, intensity matches, to see each game that play in good championships. I say it was a weak tour.
(No if it is prepared to be captain at the Great National of Romania) First of all, I want to get to the big national team, this is the first step. I certainly think of the big team, I finished with U21 and I hope to be summoned.
There were some beautiful moments, many Romanian fans came, especially at the match with Spain. I wanted to thank them, they were sensational.
The emptiness remains, but it was better to qualify. I have a little vacation now, I charge my batteries and after, in Cluj, we have Europa League and the Championship“, Louis Munteanu told Pro TV.
I could get even two points, with Italy and Spain. Players have gained experience. It can be seen that some train through this part of Europe. They have no problems to resist, to accelerate, to fight. It's the third match in 6 days, here we can find the only valid excuse.
