Renowned local journalist Radu Banchu criticized the head coach of the national team Mircea Lucescu, who previously managed Kyiv’s “Dynamo”.
Radu Banchu“From the matches of the Romanian national team in the current Nations League, we saw that Lucescu does not play modern football. We are still following the old template that our coaches learned in their childhood.
Our coaches have not modernized, whether it is Iordănescu (Edward Iordănescu, the previous coach of the Romanian national team, — ed. note) or Lucescu. They do not keep up with today’s football. They are exactly like former members of the power structures who suddenly returned to power today.
Do you think Lucescu watched the match between “Sporting” and “Rio Ave”? Or the match “Auxerre” — “Strasbourg”? I’m sure he didn’t!” — Banchu's words are quoted by “iAM Sport”.
