Balint wants devoted players for Moldova squad

Moldova manager Gabi Balint hopes to earn at least 12 points in the Euro 2012 qualifying round. The Romanian told a news conference on Friday the goal can be achieved only if he manages to summon the most experienced footballers playing in the national premiership and abroad. However Balint has doubts about the Moldovans playing in Russia. “We are waiting for a decision from Russia. I hope our men won't be prevented from joining their national team”. “But if a Moldovan player refuses to join the national team by himself, he will never wear the national colors as long as I'm in charge”, he warned, underlining that he wanted for the squad only devoted footballers, who would play “for the country, not for the money”. Gabi Balint will make his debut as the manager of the Moldovan national team on March 3, when the Tricolors will encounter Kazakhstan in a friendly.
