#4 Ciprian Tatarusanu

Ciprian Tatarusanu

He has been crucial for Romania by guarding a defence that conceded 2 goals in 10 games in the qualifying phase and no other side matched that. He was arguably the best goalkeeper in Serie A, after Juventus star Gianluigi Buffon, playing for Fiorentina.

He can organise a good defensive shield against the opponents which we saw in the game against France. The 30-year-old goalkeeper has 34 international caps to his name after making his debut in 2010 and his experience will be vital for Romania since he is one of the very few Romanian players who are playing in the top 5 leagues in Europe.

He used to keep a clean sheet in every 3 games at Fiorentina and was named the Romanian player of the year for 2015, making him the first goalkeeper to win this award in nearly three decades.
