Romania started with a defeat at Euro 2025 U21, Italy was 1-0, last night (Slovakia), in the first match of the group. The small tricolors did not cope with the opponents, suffocating from the first half, which sparked the anger of the coach Daniel Pancu.

The coach of the national youth, who could not sit on the national technical bench, being suspended, put the cannons on his own players immediately after the match. A match in which I had a chance at least one equal, given that Louis Munteanu missed a penalty (45+3), and Mitrov missed a huge opportunity in extensions.
Daniel Pancu accused his students of not taking care of recovering and restoring. Ignat was changed because he couldn’t, a worrying problem for the coach. ““Yes, I changed it because I was suffocating. And I saw Borza several times. When I see them with my hands on my knees in the first half and finally with cramps, many … care for restoration, negligence …
Negligence and sufficiency of players
The medicines that the doctor leaves on the table, half of them remain. We get to have cramps through the 80th minute. There were few minutes without minutes. We didn’t have to have problems like this. Ignat may have not played in the last stage and went out early with CFR. But, he played a half with Georgia, it was ok. It’s a first signal when you see a player with your hands on your knees ”to declare Daniel Pancu at the end of the match.
The coach continued his tirade: “The match is hard to live in the stands and I was hardly refrained. I am not even allowed to raise the voice. The communication was slowly with the reserve bank and in certain aspects. Being for the first time I stay in the stand, I did not make it very good.
Many mistakes of interpretation
There were several positions of the players made late. And in the void received, I do not think you can take such a goal even at the fourth league. It was a very simple space to busy, especially when you play with three central midfielders. It doesn’t even matter how it got there. But if the ball came to the edge, a team that returns three quarters of balls to the three decarcers, only from positioning we could avoid that void. Fear, I don’t even know what to say about the bar in the first half.
There were many mistakes of interpretation. Shame to put balls out, ashamed of rejecting simple balls, mda. Here I think the difference has been made. You can’t go to the euro and get empty in this way ”Daniel Pancu concluded.
