Horațiu Moldovan, 27, the Romanian goalkeeper in the two parties this month, commented draw with Cyprus (2-2)but he talked more about the gap from the friendly against Canada, lost by 0-3.
Although he does not play at Real Oviedo, his club team, Horațiu Moldovan was not only convened, even in the Romanian matches in this action, 0-3 with Canada in a friendly match, 2-2 today with Cyprus, in a vital duel for keeping in qualifying books.
Like Drăguș, convinced That Romania can still win the group although the chances remain purely mathematical, Moldovan has been confident in him and his colleagues.
“What can we say? We are very disappointed. I really have no words, at 2-0, as we saw from the field, I thought we would solve the match in the first half and we would not have emotions in the second.
They took over the initiative, played better than us at least in the second half. They passed better, created their opportunities, scored for 2-2 and had opportunities to do 3-2.
There were moments before the euro when we did 0-0 at home … We can get it out, there is nothing lost. We play the chance to the end in the group, and if we can't, we play the dam. I trust 100% in group and all over the staff. If you cannot be through the group, we qualify at the dam ”, said the Romanian goalkeeper at Digisport.
Horațiu Moldovan, about 0-3 with Canada: “I killed someone!”
Later, Moldovan was asked about the Gafa from the 2nd goal of Canadians, in the friendly last week, and did not shy away from telling his office.
“Surprised me that he discussed too much about this thing, as if I killed someone. Indeed, it was a very big mistake, I assume it. I apologize in front of my colleagues that I was wrong and probably from there the game has changed, but not only Horațiu Moldovan is wrong.
I think they were wrong with much larger goalkeepers than Horațiu Moldovan and if we look a little back, I think it was my first jar to the national team.
I am not a robot, I am a man, it is normal to make mistakes. I changed my mind, which is very bad. I wanted to play with the central midfielder, I had no option. The best option was to play from the first long ball, but I changed my mind. At a goalkeeper, when you change your mind, this is happening, “said Horațiu.
It was “reinforced” with the people at the club: “If I wanted to stay the second goalkeeper, I would stay at Atletico! I was told something else”
In addition, he was unhappy with the situation at Oviedo, where Aaron Esandell is reserved:
“If I wanted to stay the second goalkeeper, I was staying at Atletico, which is a much bigger club. I was told a thingbut the goalkeeper there defended very well and I will wait for my turn. I trust my turn to play at Oviedo.
It is normal to give the chance of those who promoted, but to say honestly, yes, I expected to play from the first match. This is the life of a footballer, we are not born. I will fight for my place in the first 11 and I hope to come as soon as possible. “
