Later, Răzvan Marin also offered an interview, following the stinging failure on the National Arena.
“Of course it is a shameful result, even if it is just a friendly match. We do not like it, it is not nice to lose in such a way. At certain times we have shown, we have created important opportunities. We must return physically, mentally, to be prepared for the match in Cyprus, for us it will be very important.
Canada is a very powerful team, they have players who play in important teams from abroad, it has seen this in the first minutes, when they managed to get two goals. They came with a very high force, a much higher intensity, saw in the game.
This defeat does not give us the confidence we wanted for the match in Cyprus and for the following in the preliminary campaign. If we want to hope for something, we need 4 victories from the 4 remaining matches, but it depends a lot on the results of the other matches.
We need to raise our morale, gather a little. If we play this way, it will certainly not be easy with Cyprus. We remember that there, in September last year, we had the first 10-15 minutes, until we managed to get empty, and then we made the match easy.
We need to put a very high intensity in the game to surprise and mark as quickly as possible. Certainly, afterwards, the game will be in our hand. We are sorry for all those who are injured or who, for some reason, are not with us. Certainly, the thought stands with the other players, but those who come to the nationally have to cope with brio if they want to stay at the national“, Răzvan Marin told the show” Football Club “, from Digi Sport.
