Emil Sandoi after the exit from EURO U21: “We have problems with children, with juniors”

Not reproaching himself for anything, Sandoy said that “we have problems with juniors.”

“It’s a hot game, it’s like we got hurt a little bit. We lost the ball a bit, but Fane Tirnovanu had a very good game.

It’s a very high level, maybe we weren’t ready… injured players, hell pace… I think we lacked possession.

As a choice, I don’t blame myself for anything… maybe a lack of inspiration with Spain…

I’m finishing my contract, it’s coming to an end now, but I don’t think… I didn’t cling to contracts… I’m fair game, I want to stand up, I think we have problems with children, younger ones…” – Emil Sandoy.

• Romania’s results in Group B: 0-3 against Spain, 0-1 against Ukraine, 0-0 against Croatia.

The reaction of the tricolor: “We disappointed ourselves and the whole country first of all!”

Captain Bohdan Rakovican and goalkeeper Stefan Tirnovanu expressed their disappointment with the elimination of the Romanian national team after the group stage of the U21 European Championship.

“Unfortunately, this is a negative feeling. We have zero wins, zero goals. I didn’t look good at all. First of all, we disappointed ourselves and the whole country. Unfortunately, that’s it, let’s move on, it’s not easy for us either.

Regarding the match… today I played more, more possession, more passes, maybe the match was also stupid, I can’t understand…. I don’t know what we lacked, a little bit of everything, and character, and strength, and play , and techniques” – Bohdan Rakovytan.

“On a personal level, I’m happy that I didn’t manage to score, but I’m sad to leave the competition. With the team, I would like to do much more, get out of the groups.

I don’t know what the reasons are…maybe fear, maybe championship level. I think we were completely outplayed in the first two games, we had a bit more of the ball tonight, but we are far…

I consider this final tournament a failure, because we did not score and got only one point” – Stefan Tyrnovanu.

“I don’t think we deserved more, a draw is fair, it’s a big disappointment for the team. This tournament was very bad for me, I thought I would play better, I wanted to end the season well, but…

We played too defensively, we all had a very bad match against Spain, our morale dropped, and we lost against Ukraine” – Louis Muntianu.
