Former Shakhtar Donetsk and Romania national team striker Ciprian Marica said what he thinks about the situation with the Romanian national team on the eve of Euro 2024. Recall, the Romanian national team is one of the rivals of the national team of Ukraine in the group of the upcoming European championship.
Ciprian Marika"I certainly like all this euphoria around the national team, all this talk that we can get out of the group, that we can even win the Euro, as Greece and Denmark did. It's a good atmosphere, it feeds your enthusiasm. But the recent friendly against Colombia (2:3 - ed.) showed us that our national team has clear limits.
We do not have players who play in Real Madrid and Barcelona. And it's not by chance, our national teams have clear limits too. Burka does not play in Saudi Arabia for nothing, he has his flaws. And there are also a lot of players from Italian Serie B clubs in the national team.
Florinel Coman at the level of Romanian football is very good. But when he plays for the Romanian national team, at this level you can see that he is not the same as he used to be in the national championship. He is no longer the best, he is no longer a significant performer for the team.
That's why I personally have questions. It is important to call up the really best to the national team. In the last two friendly matches before Euro 2024 (4 June - against Bulgaria, and 7 June - against Liechtenstein - ed.), Edward Iordanescu (head coach of the Romanian national team - ed.) must show us who he counts on and what he wants to play at the Euros," Marica said on GSP Live.
