Florentin Pera, confident ahead of the Main Group II matches

Selector Florentin Pera said that he is happy with the victory, and also talked about what awaits the tricolor team.

“I’m happy with the win, I had some problems, but I’m proud of my players, they showed spirit, gave everything they could and finally made it to the main round.

We won by eight goals, which is not an easy difference against a team playing at home. We also had a lot of problems with players who were injured or not feeling well, but we managed and now we are in the main groups.

In the main groups, it will be difficult for all opponents now, so we have nothing to waste time, we just need to focus. I hope the players will continue to play like this and everything will be better and better. I’m very, very confident that we can make good games” – Florentin Pera.

The Romanian team consists of 18 players: Yuliya Dumanska, Dachiana Khosu, Diana Chuke – goalkeepers; Alexandra Badea, Bianca Bazaliou, Eliza Buceski, Nicoleta Dinka, Sorina Grozav, Alexandra Dindiligan, Krina Pintea, Lorena Ostase, Laura Prystavice, Sonia Seraficanou, Andrea Tirle, Cristina Nyagu (Capt.), Diana Lixandrou, Corina Lupei and Michaela Mihai .
