- Iceland will play Hungary away on November 12 for a place in Euro 2020.
- The final phase, postponed by the coronavirus, will take place between June 11 and July 2021, in 12 cities, including Bucharest.
- Endgame statements:
“Since we played the first 45 minutes, I think we can say that we did not deserve to go further. We started slowly, we knew they were strong, well organized. In the first half we lost seven balls in our own half. Unfortunately, I did not get rid of what I was afraid, to score in the first 20 minutes, in the second half we looked better, but very little to make it worth going to the Euro.
There are three players missing, but that does not mean that we received the goals because one of the players was missing. It was clear that we had to contribute a plus, the three were not dynamic, they did not manage to win balls. They did not have many solutions, we prepared to enter a lot between the lines. We wanted to have more momentum for the second half.
It was predictable, I knew, that everyone, in terms of defensive organization, Iceland is one of the best teams. Very few demarcations in depth, I have done it very few times. Probably the emotions and pressure of the game. Here I try to apologize, but if anyone is to blame, it is me and my staff.
The first, from the bench, was clear (not on penalties). I saw that elbow. We played very little football than we wanted tonight to have claims that we could go to the final phase of the playoffs, “Mirel Rădoi told Pro TV.
Ciprian Tătăruşanu: We can’t wait to cry for three days until the next match
“Unfortunately we lost this opportunity. I’m sorry, like my colleagues, we really wanted to win tonight but Iceland was a good team, they played their usual game and I think they deserved the win overall.” I am not disappointed with how the team played, the second half we played a very good game, we loved each other a lot, the first half we failed to impose our game.
Too bad we couldn’t score the second goal. I watched the reruns. In the stage where penalties were requested, there were penalties, but that was the referee’s decision, we respect it. Sigurdsson, especially in the first half, had two very good executions, he is a valuable player. Unfortunately for us, today was a very good day. We all loved each other very much, but unfortunately that’s all we could do tonight. We will try to overcome this failure. We are disappointed, but now we can’t wait three days for the next match. We are trying to win in Norway and at home with Austria “Tătăruşanu stated on Pro TV.
Nicolae Stanciu: We started the game very, very badly
“I don’t think we were good enough in the first half, we started the game very, very badly. After the break I think it was played better, but unfortunately we couldn’t draw and take the game in extra time. We’re back, we lost the opportunity to go to another final phase, the important thing is to return physically and win the League of Nations “, declared Stanciu on Pro TV.
