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