Last chance for national team before the beginning of the EURO 2012 preliminaries

With less a month before the start of the preliminaries of the European Championships in 2012, the selector contour the squad  that he will debut against Albania.



Compared to the first part of his mandate, Razvan Lucescu even abandoned the undoubtedly  holders.At  Istanbul he wants confirmation of the triplets Dănănae-Florescu-Deac and seeks solutions for a goalkeeper.



The friendly of Wednesday with Turkey's gives to Razvan Lucescu the opportunity to outline the core of the squad with touching the qualification to Euro 2012, over 25 days, at home, with Albania. The squad already called to Istanbul differs consistently from that period when the selector started his mandat. Even the owners! Basic people at a time, Mara, Ghioane and Apostol  rushed the scheme, the last one only because he is hurt.



It has disappeared Danciulescu, Adrian and Andrei Cristea, Costin Lazar, Codrea, Max Nicu and Săpunaru, all fallen at Lucescu's jr. filter,  probably following to be only solutions of crisis to "national". However, there is still plenty of questions with only three weeks before the start of preliminaries.



The goalkeepers are reserved to clubs

For the friendly with Turks, Razvan called three goalkeepers: Lobonţ, Pantilimon and Bornescu. Even so, the staff of the "nationality" believes that this post is a problem. Lobonţ will only be reserve at Rome as Pantilimon at Timisoara, while Bornescu is seen only as a temporary option. Long jr. still remains available to "youth" of Săndoi.



Trouble on right back side

Neither  at the right defender there are not so much choices. Dănănae will most be holding in Istanbul, and Panin will appear as a reserve. Maftei, holds on this position on Lucescu's mandate, has been reassembled as stoper as to Unirea, position for which he also was called now.



Even if, he has been started the season well at Porto, winning the Super Cup Portugal, Săpunaru was not forgiven by Lucescu for the incident after the match against Poland. In central of the defensive, Razvan seems covered, having from where to choice, while on the left, Raţ is 100% sure that will catch jersey holder. Neşu is not yet an option even for the first 18.



Cociş side midfielder, Muresan in premiere

For the game the day after tomorrow, Razvan called on premiere Gabriel Muresan, a footballer with good steady progress in this debut season. A surprise could be the appointment of Cocis on the right lane. The reason? 26 year old footballer has been tested in this position at the last friendly, with Honduras and Lucescu jr. was pleased with his return.



In addition, Roman, holder of the post is injured. On center will play Radoi and Florescu, and the left side Deac is  favorite to Tanase.



Classics attack: Marica - D. Niculae

On outposts, Razvan has nailed holders. Marica and Daniel Niculae are chosen, with Stuttgart's top position advanced and with Monaco striker fired towards the right. Stancu's third option. Razvan passed over the incident with the red-blue footballer who has given injured  to an action at Under 23 team this spring.
