FRANCE 98 – Romania-Colombiae – A. Iordanescu: “It was an intelligent victory”

 “I would like to thank all of the spectators who supported us throughout the match and express on behalf of the whole team our satisfaction. This match was particularly important to us because many players were participating for the first time in a final phase of the World Cup. It was an intelligent victory. During the first half we had lots of chances. In the second half there were some difficult moments but we tried to maintain our lead despite being tired.

I had a good impression of Colombian football particularly thanks to Carlos VALDERRAMA (10) and Faustino ASPRILLA (11). The COLOMBIA team is a good representative of South American football. The team has a good idea of the game and thanks to short passes and strong techniques it challenges the counter-attack. Once again, Colombian football is of very good quality. I wish the team good luck for the rest of the competition”.
