Romania defender Nicusor Bancu said what he thinks about his team's match against Ukraine in the 1st round of the group stage of Euro 2024, which will take place this Monday in Munich.
"We have to be extremely well organized when playing in defense and use every opportunity at the opponent's goal. The Ukrainian national team's attackers are much higher in level than our defenders, so we have to double, triple our efforts.
We should not give chances to the Ukrainians, they know how to use them. It is important to be extremely concentrated and play in defense as compact as possible, not to give the opponent space.
But no matter how strong the opponent is, we will take the field with the goal to win. Because we play not only for the team and its coach, we play for Romania. And we all feel the desire to give on the field all our strength. The performance of the Romanian national team at the Euros is a happiness for all our fans, and I hope we will make this happiness as long as possible," said Bancu during the regular press conference at the press center of the Romanian national team at Euro 2024.
