Daniel Pancu announced his departure from the U21 national

Romania lost the first two games in the final tournament of Euro U21, 0-1 with Italy and 1-2 with Spain, which he drove until the 85th minute, being eliminated before the last match, on Tuesday, with Slovakia, the host country. With Italy, a penalty was missed in the last minute of the first half, with Spain we did not give a clear one for us.

There was a lot of sadness in the locker room of the small tricolors after the failure with Spain, a failure consumed under the eyes of the high national team, Mircea Lucescu. Slovakia will be the first and only match of the team having Daniel Pancu on the bench, because the suspension of two parties expires. But already the former quickist announced what was long in advance, the fact that he will no longer continue with the small tricolors, already knowing the name of the substitute, Costin Curelea from the U20 national, as Pancu reached the rudder of the youth.

Pancu had a press conference in which he wanted to say that he was proud of the way the team was presented and that he left at least six to seven players in this lot for Curele, who are still eligible.

The players have been self-deprived, an irreproachable organization. I had to make changes. I would not have changed anyone, but our resources … from our championship … unfortunately, that’s what I told Marius Niculae-that this match will be decided by those who will enter the bench. I had my mouth … I didn’t see the fur phase, I don’t know, but I know how it works.

If it was 2-0 there we would have been close to a qualification that I assimilated with Cthe trophy. We remain with the experience after this match – to learn to play every 3 to 3 days, with a rhythm. They were expecting too. With the experience we remain, that is what we win. I leave something behind the future coach. There are 6-7 players and for future actionic that it’s a shot in the hand of a Spanish defender.

My contract is over. It will definitely be someone else in my place. The difference was huge? There was no point in playing with them? Shall we go out on the ground? I told them to be happy for the way they cope with the attacks of a big nation.

And they and Italy, the most titled teams. The difference was made to details. With Italy I did not occupy a space, today the same, but I had no one with whom, because the player was outside the field. It’s a wonderful stadium, the atmosphere was extraordinary.
