Qualification in the Main Groups, Romania’s goal at the European Women’s Handball Championship
“We definitely want to advance to the main groups. We go with that thought, even though we have third place in the group, because the Netherlands and France start as favourites.
This should not disarm us, but, on the contrary, motivate us and try to make a surprise in the first match. I want us to look like a team that fights every game, regardless of the opponent
The first match is the most important for us, against Holland. This is a strong team, we know it well. He is in very good shape, but that only motivates us and allows us to overcome ourselves.
The Netherlands has been a medal contender every year since 2015, and is also the world champion. But this is the first game, and anything can happen. We are going with the idea of giving ourselves on the field, I am convinced that every player will give everything for the national team and our fans” – Florentin Peraat Henri Coand airport, Agerpres quotes.
