Romanians tear each other apart: the great Zoff in the Carpathians

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

The letter was sent the day before the 0-0 draw in Kosovo. Addressees were all club presidents of the premier league, press agencies and player advisors. Content: The “Romanian Football Family” is called upon to make it easier for players to fully concentrate on the two important upcoming European Championship qualifiers. The point is that at this stage, when it comes to transfers, abstinence is practiced in all respects.

It reads: “We know that at club level we are in a transfer phase, we fully understand everyone’s professional interests, but are convinced that the goal of qualifying for EURO 2024 is a common goal and that is why we all call for unity and cohesion .” . In addition, the whole family of Romanian football will benefit.”

“They have a totally wrong perception!”

This has led to harsh criticism in the Romanian press. The “Gazeta Sporturilor” writes: “That’s a bad joke! It may be laughable, but actually it’s crying. Those who lead the national team have a misconception. We are not part of the Romanian football family. That’s childish. As if a professional football player needs a completely closed bubble.” If a professional cannot cope emotionally with a journalist who writes something or an agent who offers him a team, he is not ready for the job.

Like pelicans…

And further: “Stop asking us not to do our job. Stop telling us to stop asking. If you ask journalists to stop respecting their jobs and become spokespersons who just issue communiqués like pelicans, then you’ve either gone completely mad or you’re preparing alibis in case of failure.”

After all, part one of the two important matches in Pristina ended in a draw. In a water fight on a barely passable terrain. Yet the press hardly shows our own team a good figure: “There were times when we cursed such bad fields because we thought we were the Brazilians of Europe. We are happy about that today, because it allows us to hide that the opponent was better and we were bad.” Nevertheless, in the worst qualifying group of all time, it could be enough for a third time to participate in the European Championship in this millennium. However, there is only one way to do this: fighting spirit! You have nothing more to offer.

“He was just annoying! This is a minor league player »

Mihai Stoica, former professional football player and CEO of Steaua Bucharest, saw it this way when he brutally criticized striker George Puscas: “What is he doing in the national team? He was just annoying! This is a minor league player; and he doesn’t even play there .” That is why coach Edi Iordanescu felt compelled to clarify at the end of the media conference: “Before this is over, I want to say something: I do not agree at all with what has been written and said. I respect opinions. But George made a good game. He was of great importance for the economy of the game. » Still, it is not Puscas who can start against Switzerland, but Denis Alibec from Farul Constanta.
