I am Colombian and I have a lot of respect to that Romanian team from 1994. Our coach Fran. Maturana was so stubborn and lazy to understand Romanian letal counterattack strategy managed by players such as Radiciou, Hagi, Popescu, Pretescu. Romania gave a master class to Colombia. The most dangerous teams come from the Balcanic
Hagi had 29 years old here , and was at his peek of form regarding his matches at the national team , right after this world cup 1994 , was transferred by FC Barcelona of Johann Cruyff (manager) from Brescia Calcio (team from Italy) , HAGI had FREE ROLE OF PLAY here in USA ! (Romanian coach ,Iordanescu said to him , " you play as free role player ! you play what you want ! you go wherever you want in the pitch ! i don't care what you do !"
Colombia was the team that dominates almost entirely the match against a Romania team wating back in defence for throwing speed counterattacks thanks the quality and speed from players so fast like Radiociou and Dumitrescu.
Pronto nos veremos las caras de nuevo en la cancha, hermanos rumanos , así sea en este amistoso en marzo 2024 grandes selecciones ,de un colombiano con gusto del buen football .
Fue una sorpresa 🇨🇴 que era de las más favoritas para ganar el mundial, y 🇷🇴 fue una gran revelación que casi llega a semifinales pero cayó en penaltis contra 🇸🇪
George Hagi, "El Maradona de los Cárpatos" lo titularon por acá, bien puesto ese título, en ése mundial estuvo fantástico, el saludo de un Argentino para ese gran jugador.
The fear on the Colombian players faces....it was real death threats before and after a game....and Colombia were actual favorites to win that world cup
