Romania was defeated by Colombia, score 2-3, in the last training match played in March. The national team from South America had an advantage of three goals on the table, but the “Tricolors” scored at the end and reduced the proportions of the score.

The “Tricolori” could not cope with an attack made up of Luis Diaz, James Rodriguez, John Arias and Jhon Cordoba, and the Romanian footballers were outplayed on several occasions.

Ciprian Marica: “I don’t think that Burcă’s value has decreased since he has been playing in Saudi Arabia”

Andrei Burcă was a full-time player in the match with Colombia, and the central defender registered at Al Akhdoud received a grade of 6.2 for his performance.

For the first goal, Burcă easily knocked Jhon Cordoba off the mark. The Colombian broke away with ease and scored with a header in the goal defended by Horațiu Moldovan.

The former striker of the national team, Ciprian Marica, watched the friendly between Romania and Colombia and drew his conclusions. The one who played 72 matches for Romania does not think that the “Tricolori” could not do more with the South American national team.

“In the middle of the defense, Burca collided with the opposing attacker, Cordoba, and looked unsure. I think that is its value. I don’t think it’s ever been better than it is now. If he was better, he was at Real Madrid.

This is us, this is the level. We are not marching with any adversary. We have our limits. I don’t think that Burcă’s value has decreased since he has been playing in Saudi Arabia”said Ciprian Marica, at the Digi Sport League.
