Former Romania striker Rodion Camătaru on the eve of his country's national team match against the Netherlands in the 1/8 finals of Euro 2024, when talking to journalists from Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, made it clear that he very much expects to be underestimated by the opponent.

"This is our moment, this Romanian national team has a strong squad and we really play as a team. Moreover, she has 12 players in her squad, because the Romanian national team has a huge fan support at this Euro.
How are things after the defeat against Austria? (2:3 in the 3rd round of the group stage of Euro 2024 - ed.) Are you still angry? Better write that it's just Romania and there's nothing in it.
We really don't have stars like the Netherlands. I hope the opponent underestimates us. Then we will have a chance," Cametaru told Dutch journalists.
