Romania head coach Edward Iordanescu summarized the results of yesterday's friendly match with Bulgaria(0:0).
"It was a useful sparring. Although I am, of course, upset that we never scored. Yes, we will not see something extraordinary in the Bulgarian national team, but it is an organized and smart team.
As for our game, I would have liked a different rhythm, a different intensity, more scoring chances and more versatility in the game. Nevertheless, we had three great chances today, plus an unrealized penalty. At Euro 2024 there will not be more opportunities in one match! So we need to be more efficient in terms of realizing chances.
But I do not see any tragedy. It took us more than a week to organize the current training camp, the players were in different conditions, and we had to solve this problem. So we assumed that in the match against Bulgaria we may not get the freshness and the rhythm of play that we need to have at the Euros.
I guarantee you that we will progress from game to game, as well as through the training process. There is no problem when you see something that needs to be fixed. There is a problem when you lose matches at the Euros. So let's be patient. I am sure that in the opening match of Euro 2024, against Ukraine, we will look much better," Iordanescu said at the press conference after the match against Bulgaria.
