Dennis Man (27 years old), a player sent in the right band of the attack by the coach Mircea Lucescu (80 years) in the failure of the national team of Romania with Canada, score 0-3in a friendly match played on the National Arena, it was disappointed at the end of the match.
Transferred this summer from Parma to PSV Eindhoven, the Romanian international assured that the national team had seriously treated the training match, but the opponent was too strong.
Dennis Man, immediately after Romania – Canada 0-3: “I treated the match seriously, but they were better”
Immediately after the final whistle, Dennis Man gave an interview on the field for Antena 1, confessing that the opponent proved far too strong for Mircea Lucescu's selected.
“A difficult match, we wanted to win. Unfortunately, it couldn't. The head in the ground and a much more important match awaits us. I treated the match seriously, but they were better.
We have nothing to do. We prepare the match with Cyprus and go there to take the 3 points. I'm a strong team. I didn't get it tonight. I feel better and better, ”concluded Dennis Man.
Honestly, I haven't seen the national dominated by this manner for a long time. A deserved victory of Canada, which surprised in the way the match began. Very aggressive, eager to always attack. It was 2-0 in the 20th minute. I was unpleasant as I started and approached the match.
The result does not matter, it does not matter the record. I do not know what was the approach of Nea Mircea, if he told them to play the counterattack and wait at 70 meters. I had two fluttering through Stanciu, at two kicks, in the first half. The lesson taught by Canada is hard to forget. I am surprised by this attitude that becomes permanent. No matter the opponent, we play on the counterattack
