Piturca: "I don't like Pintilii, he's not the same at Steaua, he didn't react as I expected, so I'm forced to look for other options. Chipciu has behaviour problems, I've talked with him. Tatarusanu has problems too since he's not starter at Steaua. Radut could be a solution for the NT, but he's starting to play now after 2 years without games at Steaua."

 

At least he knows that Radut, Tucudean and Stanciu exist .

 

It seems that calling young players is not a problem for him anymore. Leaving out the best ones and calling washed up players seems to be his same old habit

Today The journalist from Antena 1 was very enfatic about Sanmartean´s absence. It´s clear that there are reasons that have nothing to do with football. With such scum as coach, you can´t get far

 

Those players will have their chance sooner or later. Tucudean already debuted in the South-American tour past year.

What I think Piturca can field next Wednesday:


-------------------------Lobont
---------------Gaman--------------Chiriches
Papp-----------------------------------------------Rat
---------------Bourceanu--------Lazar
Torje-----------------------------------------Tanase
----------------------------------Grozav
--------------------Marica



Other possible options: Tamas instead of Gaman, Cocis instead of Lazar and Stancu instead of Grozav.

 

He has no objectives for the following 2 years, he is free to do whatever he wants because if he gets fired he will just get payed loads of money for doing nothing.
If Guardiola or Del Bosque would've had this contract in Kazakhstan or Armenia they would be considered frauds, but Piturca has no problems with it all this in Romania.
He is free to call players for money, he is garbage, he doesn't give a **** about the team, his only interest is to promote some scumbags so the club owners and the klans that own their papers will have bigger chances to sell them for good cash.

 

I wonder who has been paying for Cocis and Florescu, although it did start when they were at Russian clubs if I remember correctly..

 

This is the first time in 18! years following the romanian national team that i won´t do anything to avoid missing a game. Even when there are interesting players to watch, the clear corruption in choosing the coach and making the squad disgusts me too much and takes my hope away

 

I reached this stage a couple of years ago. You can only take so much disappointments. I still follow and care a lot about the NT, but until big changes are made, I won't follow them like before.

 

Well at least Adi Popa will get called up now if the transfer to Steaua happens (I'm outta the loop, sorry if it has already happened). Next up: Sanmartean to Steaua? p

 

Interesting view McLaren. I don´t agree completely, but i like people who can think

 

 

Line up:
Lobonţ - Papp, Chiricheş, Găman, Raţ - Cociş, Lazăr - Torje, B. Stancu, Tănase - Marica

 

Cocis, Cocis, Cocis... Except that, good line-up considering the present players.

 

Any link for the game?

EDIT: Got it. The game is broadcast on Antena 1.

Slovenia scores.

 

1-0 Slovenia

 

One of the commentators just said that Cocis is "useful, strong and technical" :howler:

 

Yeah, I caught that too. The commentators probably watched their first football game last night.

12 minutes are enough to see that the team is completely clueless...

I think you don't even have to watch for that, just see the selection in midfield.

This team don't know how to defend set pieces.

Nope, and any high ball was a goal chance. Do you guys know how Estonia plays? I doubt it's ground balls!

Mistake by Chiriches.

It wasn't penalty IMO, but free-kick.

Yeah it was FK, but who cares anymore!

Is it strange that i have a smile when they score against us?!

well, let's face it, Slovenia just has more quality, right...

Well Slovenia did run circles around us!!

We have twice the quality in selection than Slovenia, we shouldn't even have trouble against them. Piti will come out saying Slovenia is light years ahead of Romania and crap like that but in regards to talent and not coaching, management.

Screw that.

Tanase is the #10.. that says enough about the quality on this team. Tanase is a nice player but he is no #10 of the NT.. we have better players for that role!

He scooped the ball into the keepers arms in the 91st minute, he couldn't have made a better cross?

Tanase is Tanase, he can only do so much, poor guy, he's not very intelligent.

Chiriches was especially weak tonight. I guess it was a bad day for most of our players.


Cocis played the 90 minutes alm:

I stopped caring when I saw Lazar out, Bourceanu in. If that's the way to go, **** that, I'll watch Armenia cause they play more entertaining football.

defense: Sapunaru, Papp, Chiriches, Tamas, Radu, Rat

midfield: Torje, Chipciu, Stanciu, Tanase, Sanmartean, Nistor, Lazar, Muresan

attack: Mutu, Marica, Stancu, Tucudean, M. Niculae, Grozav

the bolded ones are players we "don't have" according to anyone who says we don't have a central midfield. They can all play central.


Pantilimon-Sapunaru, Goian, Radu, ???-Stanciu, Muresan, Nistor, Sanmartean-Mutu, Tucudean

No selection, my ass. We have enough for 2 teams, but our players aren't very bright so they need a good coach.

As for last night:

Lobont: got 4 goals
Papp: did decently
Chiriches: thinks he's Gica Popescu and Belo combined
Gaman: WHO???
Rat: meh, did he play?
Lazar: did well, da' cu cine sa joci?
Cocis: oh, ****, not this shit again
Torje: tried and fought uselessly
Stancu: NO
Tanase: meh
Marica: his usual game lately

Bourceanu <--> Lazar: **** you, Piturca, and your mother too. :howler:
Bourceanu should be banned on the pitch before he kills someone.

 

12 minutes are enough to see that the team is completely clueless...

 

Our team lacks character and, mostly, an identity.

 

This team don't know how to defend set pieces.

 

Seeing how we treat the ball you could imagine a team playing entertaining football but we are light years away from that with Piti.

No movement, no dynamic, no fantasy.

 

We didn't create a single clear chance.



Many players don't seem very motivated in this game.

 

Many players don't seem very motivated in this game.

I think Piti plays a part in this too. our game alone is demotivating.

 

Marica scores but it's ruled a handball.

 

Mistake by Chiriches.

It wasn't penalty IMO, but free-kick.



2-0

 

Papp 2-1

 

3-1 now

 

Is it strange that i have a smile when they score against us?!

well, let's face it, Slovenia just has more quality, right...
