On Monday, March 24, the Romanian national team played a qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup. Mircea Lucescu's team won 5:1 against the San Marino national team.
Mircea LucescuHowever, the fans of the Romanian national team were not very satisfied with the team's performance. Out of the five goals, two were scored from penalties. The Romanians opened the scoring after an own goal, and the fifth goal was scored in stoppage time. A generous portion of criticism was directed at the head coach.
Teo_Draxx: With Lucescu's arrival, we have become even weaker.
Units Fem Força: I think that Lucescu is not the coach this team needs. We need more than this.
Romanian Rhapsody: Perhaps with new blood, things would have livened up a bit, but with Lucescu, it always starts the same.
Foot Roumain: You can't always have everything. But Lucescu needs to change something.
Romanian Football: It's not just about the goal (even Denmark, Finland, and Cyprus recently conceded to San Marino), but also about how they allowed this to happen, and how stubborn Lucescu is in his line-ups and player selections.
Galatasaray: Count how many times you've been successful in Europe? Have you been successful for 2 years in a row, excluding Lucescu's period?
Robert MIHAI: Two minutes into the San Marino - Romania match, and Mircea Lucescu already had his hands on his head.
