On 31 May 2014, Tănase earned his first cap for Romania national team in a 1–0 friendly win over Albania, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Alexandru Maxim.[10] He appeared sparingly for the country in the following years, and only scored his first goal on 25 March 2021, in a 3–2 defeat of North Macedonia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[11]
Style of play
Tănase is a versatile footballer who can occupy several positions along the front-line, but has stated that prefers to be deployed as an advanced playmaker.[12] Romanian manager and former player Gheorghe Hagi regarded him as one of the most promising talents of his generation;[13] in spite of this, Tănase has been accused by opponents and media alike of excessive diving, especially during his first stint at FCSB.[14][15][16]
