>> CONTROVERSY. One of the loudest voices in the world of football: “Can we accept and assume that Romania is rated as the weakest national team among the 24 that will be at EURO 2024 in Germany?”

Denis Dragush, the ideal option for Romania’s attack at EURO 2024

The national team, which is prepared by Edi Iordenescu, spent these days two training games out of four planned before the European Championship in Germany, but the three-colors did not manage to win a single game.

After a draw at the National Arena with Northern Ireland (1:1), Romania was defeated at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid by Colombia (3:2), one of the most in-form national teams in the world at the moment.

Florin Tenase, George Puskas, Denys Alibek and Denys Dragus were the strikers in Edi Jordenescu’s squad, while Ciprian Marica said from the outset who should start at the European Championships in Germany.

“There is no other peak in the national team except for Dragush. I don’t see another striker like Dragush. He is the only explosive player to fight against in tough matchups. Alibek is a player that can be used in teams that you dominate. He can’t press or do a 100m sprint.” – said Ciprian Marika, reports Digi Sport.

Denys Dragush is going through a good period in his career.

On loan from Gaziantep from Standard, Dragush scored 11 goals this season in the Turkish Super League and became the team’s top scorer.

With a market share of €3 million, the 24-year-old made his debut for the Romanian national football team in a Nations League match against Serbia (10/09/18) and has since made 9 appearances and scored two goals for the tricolor.

Florin Manea, Radu Dragushin’s agent, said that two clubs from the Bundesliga and three from Portugal are keeping a close eye on Dragushin.

“Someone else is wanted in Portugal, sweetie. I am taking care of him this summer. (no E Benfica Lisbon?) This is one of the biggest teams in Portugal.

The manager of Joao Felix was coming, he was coming to the match between Romania and Ireland, he saw him, he warmed up extremely well.

There are two Bundesliga clubs and 3 from Portugal who are interested in Denis and have come to see him personally.

Already when they call you, it means that you are no longer just on a fictional list. Certain presidents called me. This is more than interest, he is interested in amounts, salary.” – he declared.
