Octavian Popescu was not called up by Daniel Pancu for Romania’s national under-21 football team, and the FCSB footballer said he was disappointed at the end of the game against the University of Craiova (3-0).

Octavian Popescu said he was unhappy that Daniel Pancu did not call him up for Romania U21

FKŠB beat University of Craiova in the 8th round of the Romanian Super League (3-0) and Octavian Popescu was one of the best players on the pitch, managing to provide two hand assists for the goals scored by captain Darius Olaru.

At the end of the match, the FSB football player turned to the selector Daniel Panka (Romania U21), who did not call him to the youth team.

Sorin Karciu considered Tavi Popescu’s gesture as defiant, criticizing the young player of the group coached by Elias Haralambous.

“He is forbidden (no – to be upset). This is childish, he is not allowed to do this! I scored four goals with Steaua, Lucescu didn’t call me to the national team, but I didn’t make any statements.

I don’t remember in our time a player making such comments, sending stingers… He takes too much credit. A spoiled footballer who gives us football with a spoon and a strum. It’s a pleasure! Can he afford to attack the coach’s decision?!

In the end, he was upset that he was not called up to the youth team, but he should be upset that he is in the big team and not in the youth team. If you are ambitious and proud, be upset that your name is not Edi Iordenescu, not because you are not in the youth team. – said the former president of the University of Craiova, Digi Sport reports.
