  • Before entering Euro 2024, the tricolors will also meet in friendly matches with Colombia (March 26), Bulgaria (June 4) and Liechtenstein (June 8).

“I start by thanking the fans! Back to the match, it was a very useful test against an opponent I’ve been studying. Congratulations for coming and showing your best. A useful test from many points of view.

It’s been three and a half months since I saw the boys. I did good things. From my point of view, I could do more and I proved it recently.

From an individual point of view, I have also made several attempts. If you don’t do them in a friendly way, you won’t have time for it. There are not many decisions in certain positions, it is not easy to play with a right-handed player on the left wing. I would have liked something different, but Manea, in some ways, made the game what I asked for.

There are players who must establish themselves in the club. It is very difficult for me to give minutes.

After all, the national team has 12 matches without defeat, but I would like different stability, different speed in the movement of the ball and generation of more moments. We had possession, but a lot of passivity, horizontality.

I wanted to give Nita a moment because he is doing very good things in Turkey. The Moldovan has great chances in Spain, on the field where he operates. To be under the nose of the Spaniards. It is important!” – Edi Jordanescuquoted by News.ro.
