The former head coach of the Romanian national team, Edward Iordănescu, summarizing the results of 2024, did not overlook the match against the Ukrainian national team (3:0) in the first round of the group stage of Euro-2024.
“If I had to highlight the greatest joy I experienced in 2024 from a professional point of view, it would certainly be the sports results we achieved. First of all, I must mention the match against Ukraine at Euro-2024, our victory in it, which was the most crucial for the Romanian national team in the tournament. We showed that anything is possible with the right mindset, attitude, dedication, and discipline, as well as unity within the team. Through this match, this victory, and our ongoing work, we managed to reunite all Romanians.
What stood out to me the most in that match? What probably happened to me for the first time. After the score became 3:0 and I felt that we would not lose this victory, I started to look more at the stands than at the football field, and it was amazing,” said Iordănescu during his interview with the publication “Gazeta Sporturilor”.
