Mirel Rădoi, the first conclusions after the victory with North Macedonia
“It really was a thriller. Tonight everything seemed too easy, that everything was going well and we had great emotions, the bullet went through our heads. In a minute I was able to waste the 80 minutes that I played very well.
I met a formidable opponent, a team qualified for the Euro Cup. Congratulations to Goran Pandev, I have never seen a player at this age who does not lose a ball, who protects so well, who finds spaces.“Declared Mirel Rădoi, on ProTV.
The day of the match was the first in which Mirel Rădoi was physically with the players, in the last 11 days being isolated, infected with COVID-19. The coach admitted that he had a difficult period, but the coaching staff brilliantly made up for his absence.
“He couldn’t be with the boys, but he was in constant contact with them. I watched the training sessions, I had discussions with the guys, and those who stayed on the staff knew the principles. They are very clear things. I’m glad I was able to be with the boys, the credit goes to the boys and the staff. Not my credit at all“Transmitted Mirel Rădoi.
“There were two minutes of total blackout”
The fall at the end of the game, when, from 2-0 for Romania in the 84th minute, the score became 2-2 in two minutes, is, for now, inexplicable for Mirel Rădoi, and the moment reminded the coach of a similar , the famous match against Middlesbrough, lost by the FCSB in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.
“We were a team with a total blackout in two minutes. I couldn’t react, I just couldn’t react. I understand, I went through such an experience, the Middlesbrough episode. I’m glad we managed to calm down for 40 seconds and we realized that it will be a boxing match, either us or them, it was clear that the match will not end 2-2“Said the selector.
After the victory with Macedonia, Romania follows the match with Germany, who won with Iceland in the first stage, 3-0, on Sunday at 21:45.
Mirel Rădoi said that the first 80 minutes of the match with Macedonia offer hope: “If we take it after the first 80 minutes, we can wait, if we take it after the tragic two minutes, we can’t wait. We will look at the two minutes tomorrow”.
