The selector Mircea Lucescu stated that the duel between Romania and Turkey, in the semifinals of the playoff for the 2026 World Cup, will be extremely difficult, emphasizing that the opponents are going through a very good moment and have valuable players. Lucescu says that the tricolors have four months to prepare "in every respect" and reminds that the pressure will be similar to that in Zenica.
