Romania U21 – Denmark U21 1-1 | Ilie Dumitrescu, surprised by the match in the last 10 minutes: “I’ve never seen anything like this”
Ilie Dumitrescu was shocked with the game in the final 10 minutes. From minute 83 until the end, the “tricolor” passed continuously, and the Danes did not attack them.
“The Danes were satisfied with this result because they entered the area only once in the second half of the game, and the referee moved the foul in the area, to his penalty. We had consistency in the game and we deserved the victory.
At the end of the day, when there are 10 minutes left and you see that the opposing team does not want to lose … Because we were in that position, to participate in such a scenario and not have any chance.
And we played the last game of the group to have the possibility of qualifying with a draw. By the way, we lost in Ukraine at 11 meters that did not exist. And we were qualified if we didn’t lose.
He was well in possession. How many were they? 10 minutes in a row? I think it was 10 minutes plus 4 extra passes in a row. Did the ball go out during that 14 minute game? I had never seen anything like it “.Ilie Dumitrescu said.

Romania U21 – Denmark U21 1-1 | Adrian Mutu, on last minute anti-gambling
Coach Adrian Mutu explained the anti-play in the final minutes of the game with Denmark, stating that sometimes you have to sacrifice something to get a result, in this case qualifying for the European Under-21 Championship next year.
He admitted that he asked the players not to attack, but to move to midfield at the end of the match to keep the 1-1 on the table that satisfied both Romania and Denmark.
“It was a bit of a strange situation at the end, when the opponents didn’t want to get out of there (without defense). But there was no point taking risks when our equality was good. After a few steps, we were going to win the match, I asked the referee for What lasted 4 minutes, you realize that I would have liked it to be 4 seconds, not 4 minutes.
If we took a risk in the last 4 minutes and out of stupidity they escaped to the counterattack and scored a goal and lost the classification? So they asked me what do I do, sleep on the edge? The players did what I asked them to do. The Danes didn’t risk it, why should I risk it, I don’t understand. How they risked, what was it like to score and make it 2-1. At certain moments in a match, you have to know how to sacrifice something to achieve a result. That’s what I did, I sacrificed myself and brought qualification. And we should all be happy. “Mutu said.
