“For Romanians, first and last impressions are important”

Now, before the last game of the League of Nations, the one with Northern Ireland, the speech is not so pessimistic.

Romania needs to win tonight’s match in Belfast, to be able to hope for something I no longer believed in: climbing to the 2nd pot of the 2022 World Cup draw in Qatar. It is true that a victory is not enough without other indirect results, but at a certain point everything seemed absolutely compromised.

Mirel Rădoi doesn’t think that the Romanian national team had a very bad year: “First and last impressions count”

Mirel Rădoi’s separation from the national team also seemed imminent, especially in the absence of a firm response linked to the rumors given to him in Craiova.

At the Belfast press conference, the Romanian coach had a changed speech from those so far, more optimistic.

“If we take each game separately, it’s not that bad, it’s not a bad year. If we think we have lost the EURO qualification, the pain is great and it looks like a black year. For me it’s not that black, especially with a win tomorrow night (not today). For us Romanians, first and last impressions count and I think we would end the year in a positive way by winning here, especially since it would be the first time ““Said Rădoi, smiling.

For his tenure, the first impression was from the matches with Northern Ireland, 1-1 and Austria, 3-2, where Romanian football was thrilled that Rădoi represented the change we needed. Then we were very weak with Iceland and Norway, so on our return to Austria we would have presented ourselves decently.

After the cancellation of the match with Norway, for which the UEFA decision is expected, we still have this match with Northern Ireland, after which a line will be drawn on the 2020 matches.
