Ciprian Marica, advice for the Government after the match Romania – Holland
“Thank you, tricolors! Thank you, Yellow Wall! Thank you, Romania!
I lived special moments with you!
And now, in defeat, I was impressed by the devotion and selflessness of a wounded Ianis, who did not hesitate to sacrifice himself.
And the tears of Rațiu, the Romanian who lived among foreigners!
I liked that the whole world started speaking well of Romanians again.
For all this, it would be a shame if this country did not bring sports among its national priorities! It would be a shame for Romania!”wrote Ciprian Marica on his Facebook page.
In addition to Ciprian Marica, the Prime Minister of the country, Marcel Ciolacu, the selector and coach of the national team, Edward Iordănescu and the former selector of the national team, Gheorghe Hagi, came with encouragement and cheers for the progress of the “Soul Generation” so far.
“Thank you to the national team! You managed to unite – again – all Romanians! Romania has a future!”, wrote the head of the Executive on his Facebook page.
“We were a little confused by what happened. Ianis (no – Hagi) hit himself, Mogoș suffered a concussion. We had to improvise on improvisation.
For me, things are clear, I am proud of what has been achieved here. I think the national team can grow. I need rest. Honestly, there were many nights with 3-4 hours of sleep. I need rest, then for sure there will be a discussion with the federation and especially there will be a discussion with my family“, declared at the end of the match the selector and coach of the national team, Edward Iordănescu, who called his team the “Soul Generation”.
Also, the former coach, Gheorghe Hagi, declared at the end of the game in which Romania was defeated by the Netherlands, with a score of 3-0, in the round of 16 of Euro 2024, that the national team prepared by Edward Iordănescu should be congratulated, because it entered history through the course of the European Championship.
“First of all, we have to congratulate them, for the whole journey they had, because they entered history, they did very good things. It is clear that when you leave the groups, you meet very good opponents. We had our opportunities, but it was seen that the Netherlands is a very good team, both collectively and individually, they controlled the match, controlled the pace and intensity of the game. We did everything we could, but it’s a process, you learn from every match. We have to move forward, for now that’s all I can do, we have to look ahead, see what’s left to do, get better to make even greater performances”said Gheorghe Hagi, the father of Ianis, a player who was injured in just the first two minutes of the match, for ProTV.
The Romanian national football team left the European Football Championship – Euro 2024, hosted by Germany, after being defeated by the Dutch team with a score of 3 – 0 (1 – 0), on Tuesday evening, at the Football Arena in Munich, in the round of 16 of the final.
