FRANCE 98 – Anghel Iordanescu wants to make peace with the press

Anghel IORDANESCU

Speaking from TOULOUSE

Anghel IORDANESCU, the coach of the Romanian team (Group G) confided on his arrival at TOULOUSE that “the self-imposed silence declared by the players towards the Romanian press will soon be lifted.” This boycott of the media began the day after the national team’s 3-2 victory over PARAGUAY (Group D) in a warm-up match. “Certain journalists went too far, but let me assure you that if the situation does not improve in the shortest possible time, then I will accept full responsibility”. As for Gheorghe HAGI’s statement, I would like to remind you that this is not a media war, but just a momentary silence.”
