NORTH IRELAND. Mirel Rădoi press conference, live on GSP

• Romania – Northern Ireland, the first match of the League of Nations for the “tricolor”, will be played on Friday, September 4 at 9:45 p.m. The game can be seen liveTEXT on GSP.ro and live on ProTV.

The most interesting statements by Mirel Rădoi:

The matches with Northern Ireland and Austria are very important. We don’t just use them to prepare for the game with Iceland. I hope the guys implement as many ideas as possible that I worked with tomorrow night.

It’s not going to be an extreme starting team, that’s all I can tell you about the first “11”.

The grass is not what we expected, sadly.

I received more messages of encouragement than I expected. People are with us.

With Dennis Man and Cretu from FCSB there were last minute decisions about the calls, thinking about their experience, our tactics for these matches.

We may see Camora in upcoming matches. His situation was not clear for these games and we did not want to take risks.

I expected the players to be much more open. But it is also a delicate situation for them. We try to limit ourselves to the present, not the past between us.

There will be no players who deviate from the principles of the national team. If they do not apply them, the first time we will pay attention to them, the second time they will pass us on the bench, and the third time they will probably not be called.

We are in a great dilemma. It is very difficult to say clearly that we have a first “11” in mind. Before training, I had a certain idea. Now, they have us in trouble. The choice will be very difficult for us, but that is what we want.

The most interesting statements of Vlad Chiricheș:

I am very happy to return to the national team. It has been a long period of inactivity, but now I am physically fine. I’m lucid, I don’t think about what was before. I want to help the national team as much as I can and I hope to be successful.

I don’t want to risk it and say of a coach that he is my favorite.

Very important games follow. We started a new stage with Mirel and we hope to have good results that will help us mentally for the dike against Iceland.

Being captain was not a choice of the players. The coach makes this decision and may decide the team captain.

It’s not my job to comment on the calls the coach makes. He has to choose the best players, that is his duty.

Rădoi starts on Friday as coach of the great national team against a team listed by the transfermarkt site with the last chance in the Nations League group. A team that also recently changed coaches, Ian Baraclough was named in June, directly from the U21 team, as was our coach. The two also met in the current CE U21 preliminaries, where Mirel took 4 points (3-0 at home, 0-0 away).
