Romania will play without Mutu from Fiorentina, Sapunaru from Porto and Rat from Donetsk after they took an early vacation after the win against Bosnia in Bucharest.
Since Goian is also out after getting injured with Palermo and Chivu quit the NT a month ago we most probably will line up a very young defense with Rapa, Papp, Gardos who are 21 and 22 and hardly played any games for the NT so Ronaldo will have an easy job to score even in 15 minutes of play.
Also we will have no coach since Lucescu quit after Bosnia because the press simply shitted on his face all the time even though it was clear the poor guy had nothing to do wit such players while everybody is lobbying for Hagi when we all know he's a very very weak coach, kinda of a Maradona that has done nothing notable and fucked Romania up in 2001 at the Play-Off when he was newly set up as 'Selectioner'.

He's not going the score. Ronaldo is just going to show out there for a few minutes and after that he'll get subbed. Plus, it's some kind of an official friendly, so Romania will be playing at 100%, looking for the best possible result against Brazil. Ronaldo's part in the game will be just a formality.

Erm, I think all friendlies are the same: friendlies! ;)

Romania clearly left very good players at home for vacation or even letting them deal with their new offers ( Mutu from Galatasaray, Sapunaru from Lazio/AS Roma ) while others like Goian and Chivu didn't in the first place for different reasons.
So as much as they try, Cornel Rapa from Otelul, Gardos from Steaua and Paul Papp from SC Vaslui are still very young and inexperienced and Papp also made some lousy moves with Bosnia, even though not fatal.

Also Ronaldo might play for 15 minutes starting in the 30th or even for half an hour, it might be a surprise even though 15 minutes should do it if he scores.

Romania has a more exciting friendly with Argentina in August as it will be the opening match for the new stadium! :D ( finally, after 21 years we get it ).

Have you seen Ronaldo lately? If he plays 30 minutes, I think there's a huge chance of him having a heart attack.

Plus, you're not right about "all friendlies being the same". For Brazil it might be not a big deal playing Romania, but for a team like Romania surely it IS. I'm sure your players will play this like an official game, so I do not expect any gifts or something like that for Ronaldo, no matter how much time exactly he's going to play.
