Almost the entire match in Romania was dominated by Switzerland, and salvation came at the end of the game, when Mykhailo’s “double” brought an unexpected point (2-2). At the end of the match in Lucerne from the preliminary match for Euro-2024, Gike Popescu harshly criticized the selector Edi Iordenescu.

Giquie Popescu, merciless to coach Edi Jordenescu after 2-2 with Switzerland

In the interview at the end of the game with the Swiss, Edi Iordenescu spoke, among other things, about the great potential of the national team, about the fantastic point obtained in Lucerne, and also about the right path taken by the first representative of Romania.

In an intervention on Prima TV, Gike Popescu analyzed all the selector’s arguments.

“You cannot come and say that you are on the right path. Switzerland should have given you 7. Come on boy, there is no group in the national team. Here are the results. What do you say about the group, the right way: harrow God! To keep us as a group, as a family, results matter.

God willing, this is the right way. He doesn’t know what a national team is. These are the worst matches in our history (without 0:0 with Kosovo and 2:2 with Switzerland). We are on the wrong path. The truck must leave this road immediately.

It is not our merit in the result, it was the stupidity of Switzerland. What do you say is the right way? How do you say you’ve created value? You have no idea what the national team means. What values ​​have you created? Values ​​are qualifications.

Do not let the ball fall on Puskas’s head, let him reach Morutsan, then Mykhailo and make the score 2-2. No, Eddie! These are not the values ​​we want to have in the national team” – Hika Popescuon Prima TV.
