Romanian coach Razvan Lucescu (son of ex-Dinamo Kiev coach Mircea Lucescu) shared his impressions of the match of the 1st round of the group stage of Euro 2024 in Group E Romania - Ukraine (3:0).
"A fantastic match. The Romanian national team deserves praise for it: it presented itself as a highly motivated, perfect team. Everything in it worked very well. The players fought as a unit and at the same time were aggressive and did not stop for a moment.
This is exactly what those who put on the shirt of the national team of their country should show.
As for the Ukraine national team, they looked absolutely not fresh and played without aggression. Each player of this team tried to solve this or that game episode at the expense of their individual actions.
The Ukrainian national team looked exhausted. And the Romanian national team showed more cohesion, more determination, and it was evident from the way its players behaved on the field," Fanatik quoted Lucescu Jr. as saying.
