Romania defender Andrei Burke commented on his team's victory over Ukraine (3:0) in yesterday's match of the 1st round of the group stage of Euro 2024 in Group E.

"It was a sensation. But we wanted to create it. Ever since we qualified for Euro 2024. People will judge us on our achievements in this tournament.

We are very happy, but we realize that this is just the beginning and there is a lot of work ahead. We really still have a lot of work to do, even though this is a really historic result. We know that we can play even better and achieve more. For now, our goal is to get out of the group. And we know what we need to do to achieve it.

I am glad that we managed to keep our goal intact. This is the result of the fact that we played very well in defense. And in general, in tactical terms, we played a very good game. I think, we have completely fulfilled the coach's instructions for this match. But, again, we still have work to do. Especially since this victory makes us raise the bar," said Burke on Pro TV.

Belgium head coach Domenico Tedesco commented on the defeat of his team from Slovakia (0:1) in yesterday's match of the 1st round of the group stage of Euro 2024.

"Of course, the players are disappointed now. We prepared intensively for this match. The preparation went well. Today we just needed to score, then any problems were out of the question. We had a lot of chances, but we missed all of them. This is part of the game.

From the very beginning there was a feeling that we would lose. Unfortunately, it happened. I don`t know what to say to the team to make them better. We created a lot of chances. If we scored, things would have been easier.

We lost this match and it hurts because we didn't deserve it. The guys tried everything. There wasn't much that we could have done better today. But this conceded goal should have been avoided," Tedesco was quoted as saying by UEFA's official website

Former Ukraine midfielder Yevhen Levchenko shared his impressions of yesterday's match of the Ukrainian national team with Romania (0:3) in the 1st round of the group stage of Euro-2024.

"A complete shock. I think everyone from Ukraine and not only hoped to see a different match, that we will play more attractive soccer. Realized that the match with the Romanians will be very hard and nervous. But when you see how we played, it's terrible.

The first impression is that we were just overexcited, we could not gather ourselves completely, we lost a lot of duels. The Romanians should be given credit. They played grouped, very active. In some moments, like with the goal, they pressed us very well.

And we watched how we scored goals, how we made mistakes. There was an impression that our team had some apathy. It is very unsightly and unpleasant, because I thought that we have outgrown such mistakes in such matches. That's why there is a residue on the soul. I don't know how to analyze this game, because there were a lot of mistakes, moments when we didn't finish, didn't finish. We did not create the moments we needed.

I must give credit to the Romanians, who studied us very well, confidently blocked the center of the field, which we lost today. They blocked our flanks, where all the initiative should come from," Levchenko said.

Manchester United and Sweden defender Victor Lindelof may move to Turkish side Fenerbahce, coached by former Mancunian coach Jose Mourinho.

According to The Sun, the 29-year-old footballer has a good relationship with Mourinho after the Portuguese left the club. It is reported that Lindelöf's decision to join Fenerbahce may also be influenced by the fact that Everton center back Jarred Brantewait will soon join the Red Devils.
