Romania head coach Edward Iordanescu has made it clear that his team is not going to be a statistic at Euro 2024.
Edward Iordanescu"First of all, I must emphasise once again that the credit for reaching Euro 2024 belongs to the team. Believe me, we had a lot of tension, disappointments on the way to this goal and we had to make a lot of efforts to get on the right track.
I myself, of course, also experienced inexpressible emotions in connection with the achieved result, but now all my thoughts are about the final tournament. This team has certainly already proved that it has potential, but we are looking forward again because we are living with our foot on the accelerator, we are in the last hundred metres and I want our success story to continue in Germany.
Throughout the qualifying campaign we were one family, together we managed to overcome difficulties and that makes us happy, but it also makes us stronger and more responsible for what lies ahead. It will be much more difficult for us at Euro 2024, because we are talking about a tournament that will bring together the best players and the best national teams.
Our bid for Euro 2024? We are trying to be very cautious, based on the fact that this core of players have qualified and we have to give credit to that. We cannot make major changes to this squad. The doors to the national team are still open to everyone, but newcomers will come to the national team gradually. We are approaching the final decision in terms of our bid for the Euros, be patient, now is not the time to talk about the selection, I can not get into a discussion about it now," agerpres.ro quoted Iordanescu as saying.
Recall, the national team of Romania is one of the rivals of the national team of Ukraine in Group "E" of Euro-2024, along with the national teams of Belgium and Slovakia. And it is the match with the Romanian national team that Ukrainians will start their journey at the upcoming European Championship.
