Romania midfielder Nicolae Stanciu at the regulation pre-match press conference shared his expectations of his team's starting match at Euro 2024 - against Ukraine.
Nicolae Stanciu"Everyone in our team is in good shape, looking forward to the upcoming game and hopefully a victory for our fans - we play for them and for our country, and it means a lot to us.
I myself feel amazing here. This is exactly what we expected. The team is in good shape and we are all looking forward to the start. The Ukraine national team is a good team, they showed it in their recent friendly match (with Moldova, 4-0 - ed.). But we are not afraid of anyone. Yes, there are great players in the Ukraine national team, and we need to be at our best, to play compactly - as we did in the matches of the qualifying cycle. And then we will do well.
The closer the match starts, the higher the tension. Everyone feels it, not only the young players. But we are ready for it. Because this is where we want to be, where we deserve to be," Stancu is quoted by the official UEFA website.
