Romania midfielder Nicolae Stancu shared his expectations for Euro 2024.

"Is it good news that Courtois will not play for Belgium at the Euros? Belgium still has a good team. We are interested in what we are doing, how we are preparing. Hopefully, we will be fully prepared for the first match.

We will do everything step by step for the Euro. Now I think only about the game with Ukraine. I will think about Slovakia and Belgium later. Our goal is to get out of the group. We are focused on the game against the Ukrainians.

Our team doesn't feel any pressure. We have to enjoy football and be confident, but we also realise what level this is, we have to play better than we did in the qualifying campaign. I can't promise anything to the fans, but of course we will play at full capacity and give our best at the European Championships," GSP.ro quoted Stancha as saying.

Ukraine's midfielders Andriy Yarmolenko and Viktor Tsygankov want to play at the 2024 Olympics.

According to journalist Ihor Burbas, Yarmolenko and Tsygankov have expressed their readiness to travel to Paris as part of the Ukrainian Olympic team. The team's coach Rotan received the players' consent.

We will remind, today the national team of Ukraine will play a friendly match against Germany. The match starts at 21:45.

Romania's head coach Edward Iordanescu spoke about the team's preparations for Euro 2024.

"My first concern is the injury situation, because we have two players with injuries. Great efforts are being made to restore them. There are two more players you don't know about. I want to take the friendlies with Bulgaria and Liechtenstein very seriously. First of all, we must play these matches so that there are no injuries.

Would I like to lead a European club? My focus is on the national team and Euro 2024. There are two important friendly matches ahead that are of great importance. These are the last rehearsals, and I have high expectations. For me, the priority is not my deal, but the preparation for the final tournament. Emotionally, both I and the team are ready for the European Championships. Apart from the technical and tactical training, there is no time to study anything in depth. Psychological preparation is an important goal.

Compared to our opponents, we are the most inexperienced, this is the reality, even if I have full confidence in the players called up. Ukraine has reached the fourth European Championship in a row, they are an incredible team. This is Slovakia's third European tournament in a row. We can't talk about Belgium at all. We need to compensate for this with commitment.

I know that I was criticised for several decisions. The more criticism, the stronger my conviction. I have never deviated from my values and principles. The players who are here have our full trust. I care a lot about my players, we have built a great climate in the national team. I rely heavily on the character, the soul, the discipline of the players I have called up," GSP.ro quoted Iordanescu as saying.

Ingulets head coach Vladyslav Lupashko commented on the information that he may soon take over at Karpaty.

Ruslan Malynovskyi, midfielder of the Ukrainian national team, shared his expectations from the friendly match with Germany.

"I have only positive impressions of the Champions League final, a great match played by both opponents. As they say, two teams play, and Madrid wins. Congratulations to Andriy Lunin on this victory!

How does Real Madrid manage to win? There are teams, such as Juventus in Italy, who, no matter how they play, always take the trophy. Of course, these are high individual qualities of world-class players. The best play there. It's very difficult to oppose such a team. "Borussia had a lot of chances in the first half. They played very well, but that's football. It's a pity, of course.

Yes, the German national team will play without the Champions League finalists. But those guys who will be out will want to show that they should play at the Euros. All the players who are in the German national team are of a very high level. We know the strength of this team, it will be an interesting match, we will have to work hard.

The Germans have a different coach now, so the game will be different from last year. Germany supports Ukraine, so it will be a great match for the fans. We will try to show our best football.

If we compare the Ukrainian national team with the team that reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2020, many of the guys are still there. Of course, there are several new players who strengthen the national team. But it is difficult to compare, we will see by the results of the performance.

The match against Germany is one of the three preparatory matches. We will try to play our best football. Mistakes from previous games need to be removed, and what we failed to do in attack needs to be improved. We have to show good football for our fans and our country," said Malinowski.
