The leading Romanian publication Gazeta Sporturilor, paying attention to the recent friendly match between Poland and Ukraine (1:3), criticized Dynamo Kyiv goalkeeper Gheorghe Buschan, who defended the gates of the Blue-Yellows in this meeting, and made several ambiguous statements about his origin.
George BuschanFirst of all, it should be noted that the publication was published with the title "Footballer of Romanian origin gives headaches to the head coach of the Ukrainian national team".
The material itself says, in particular, the following:
"Not only Romania had problems in the last friendly match before Euro 2024 with Liechtenstein (0:0), but also Ukraine, the first opponent of the Romanian national team at Euro 2024.
In the match against Poland, goalkeeper Georgi Buschan showed an unsure game, which surely made the head coach of the Ukraine national team Serhiy Rebrov think (about the choice of the main goalkeeper at the Euro - ed.).
The goalkeeper of Dynamo Kyiv with the Romanian name Gheorghe and with a surname derived from the Romanian surname Bushtian is one of the leaders of the national team of Ukraine. He was born in Odessa, home to a sizable Romanian community, which is the third ethnic group in Ukraine after Ukrainians and Russians.
In the match against Poland, his game left much to be desired and raised many questions: the goalkeeper made mistakes in all three goals conceded. In the first case, he did not come out of the gate to intercept, and in the other two there was no reaction from his side".
