Florin Raduchu and Viorel Moldovan, disappointed with the tricolor

Florin Reduchu and Viorel Moldovan believe that the tricolors should have scored more goals at the Andorra la Vella stadium, especially considering the fact that the hosts played half an hour in numerical defeat.

“I didn’t expect a big game. We have a somewhat new team, this is the beginning of the campaign. I did not expect a spectacular game. But not to score for 30 minutes advantage… I think about the goal difference. Every goal counts. This is a big drawback. It is also powerlessness and lack of understanding” – Florin Reduchu on Prima Sport.

“I don’t understand! Eddie makes two changes in the defensive profile when we are outnumbered. Beluce and Marius Marin came in when he could have changed otherwise and brought a plus at the attacking level. You had a numerical advantage, everything was in your favor, but you make changes in the defense… Amazing!

And I see a very big frown. I see Eddie on the bench very tense, very tense. He had some left and his coat was exploding. Yes, there is a lot of pressure at the national level…” – Viorel Moldovan.
