Even if an unwritten law of football says that the winning team will not change, the selector Edward Iordănescu (46 years old) made a change in the first “11” that he will send on the field, tonight, and which has just appeared on the website of the Romanian Football Federation.
Specifically, Valentin Mihăilă will replace Florinel Coman in the starting formula. With the clarification that, in the previous game, the one against Ukraine (3-0), the FCSB goal scorer got a place in the starting line-up, because Mihăilă accused a cold. Now that the Parma player is fit, he will start the match against Belgium.
Here is the Romanian team, according to frf.ro:
1. Niță – 2. Rațiu, 3. Drăgușin, 6. M. Marin, 11. Bancu, 13. Mihăilă, 15. Burcă, 18. R. Marin, 19. Drăguș, 20. Man, 21. Stanciu-capt. Selector: Edward Iordănescu
Reserves: 12. Moldovan, 16. Târnovanu – 4. Rus, 5. Nedelcearu, 7. Alibec, 8. Cicâldău, 9. Pușcaș, 10. Hagi, 14. Olaru, 17. Fl. Coman, 22. Mogoș, 23. Sorescu, 24. Racovitan, 25. Bîrligea, 26. Shut
