Moldova's U-19 midfielder Anatolie Cheptene says the recent friendlies played against Switzerland were complete failures. “During the first match in Plaffeien we were exhausted; we arrived in Switzerland just one day before the game and we played under heavy rain. After 45 minutes the score was 2-0, and not in our favor. In the second round we started playing more freely and managed to score a consolation goal”, he told Info-Prim Neo. Commenting on Moldova's second friendly played in Dudingen on Septemeber 9 and lost at 3:0, the youngster said the match was very aggressive. “In the first minutes we were forced to play the pass behind the median line, and when we decided to push it, we ended up receiving 3 goals”. FC Tiraspol's Anatolie Cheptene scored the only goal for the Moldovan U-19s in the dual friendly in Switzerland.
