>> CONTROVERSY. One of the sharpest voices in the world of football: “Can we accept and assume that Romania is rated as the weakest national team among the 24 that will be at EURO 2024 in Germany?”

The national team prepared by Edi Iordănescu played these days two training games out of the four planned before the European Championship in Germany, but the tricolors did not manage to win a single game.

After drawing at the National Arena with Northern Ireland (1-1), Romania was defeated at the Civitas Metropolitano stadium in Madrid by Colombia (3-2), one of the most in-form national teams in the world at the moment.

Florin Tănase, George Pușcaș, Denis Alibec and Denis Drăguș were the attackers that Edi Iordănescu had in the team, and Ciprian Marica said from the start who will have to be the starter at the European Championship in Germany.

“There is no other top than Drăguș in the national team. I don’t see another striker like Drăguș. He is the only explosive player that you can fight with in tough matches. Alibec is the player to use on teams you dominate. He can’t press or do a 100-meter sprint.” – said Ciprian Marica, according to Digi Sport.

Denis Drăguș is going through a good period in his career.

On loan from Gaziantep from Standard Liège, Drăguș has scored 11 goals this season in the Turkish Super League, being the team’s top scorer.

With a market share of 3 million euros, the 24-year-old player made his debut for Romania’s national football team in a League of Nations match against Serbia (10.09.18) and has since made 9 appearances and scored two goals under the tricolor.

Florin Manea, Radu Drăgușin’s agent, said that two clubs from the Bundesliga and three from Portugal are closely following Drăguș.

“Someone else is wanted in Portugal, Sweetie. I’m taking care of him this summer. (no E Benfica Lisbon?) It’s one of the biggest teams in Portugal.

Joao Felix’s manager came, he came to Romania’s match with Ireland, he saw him, he warmed up extremely well.

There are two Bundesliga clubs and 3 from Portugal who are interested in Denis and have come to see him in person.

Already when they call you, it means that you are no longer just on a fictitious list. I have been called by certain presidents. It is more than an interest, it is interested in amounts, in salary.” – he declared.
