Mircea Lucescu can give the shot at the national team with Ianis Hagi, even if the Romanian midfielder is on the ropes at Rangers.

Coach Ovidiu Burcă appreciates the call-up of Ianis Hagi to the Romanian national team, even if the son of the “King” is not going through the best period at Rangers.

Ianis Hagi represents a certainty, which is why Mircea Lucescu can strike with him at the national team

Romanian international Ianis Hagi has big problems at Rangers. Coach Philippe Clement made it clear that he no longer relied on his services and sent him to the second team. However, Mircea Lucescu summoned him to the national team for the matches with Kosovo and Lithuania in the Nations League.

“Beyond any discussion, Ianis Hagi is a very valuable player for the national team. He showed how healthy he was at Rangers. As long as he was healthy he had good football, excellent executions.

It represents a certainty for the national team today. He is going through a difficult moment in his career. He had that damn injury. It’s hard to get back to your best level after being out for a year. He’s got a situation at Rangers, I don’t know the ins and outs.

But it is about an outstretched hand. You strengthen a relationship with any person when they are going through difficult times. I extended a hand to him and I believe that this help will be rewarded.

It is very important that he finds a club that believes in him, in his abilities. He knows football, he needs a context in which to show his worth. The link that is being built now can be auspicious for the national team supporters”, said Ovidiu Burcă, at ProSport Live.

The Romanian national football team plays, this month, the first two matches of the Nations League. The “Tricolors” debut on Friday, September 6, in Pristina, against the Kosovo team, and three days later they receive the reply of Lithuania, at the Steaua Stadium. Both shows start at 21:45.

Afterwards, the team prepared by Mircea Lucescu will face Cyprus (October 12, away), Lithuania (October 15, away), Kosovo (November 15, home) and again Cyprus (November 18, home).
