>> Romania national team, address to fans before the matches with Belarus and Andorra

Janis Hagi and the duty to represent one’s country: “It depends on what everyone wants and feels”

Hagi, who has 27 tackles for Romania, spoke about what it means to represent his country.

“I don’t want to talk about X or Y. What I’m saying now, I’m saying as an opinion on the subject as a whole. It is clear that you do not go to the national team for money. And I was taught that you don’t come for fame either. You came here to represent your country, period!

Whoever feels, let him come. Those who don’t feel anything other than Romanian should go where they feel! Of course, it depends on what each person wants, but more than how they feel.

All over the world, I’ve seen it in dozens of players of different nationalities, the national team means something special, incomparable to what you can feel at the club. If you embrace it with all your being, well done! If not, then go where you feel” – Janis Hagiquoted by ProSport.
