Switzerland is really scary – the clear favorite of the qualifying tournament for Euro-2024

While in Qatar to watch the games of the final tournament, Edi Iordenescu organized a press conference on the occasion of Romania’s National Day.

The coach talked about the selection for Euro-2024 and made some conclusions about Switzerland.

“It’s nice to be here at the most important competition, I want to take a technical look at this tournament, there’s a lot of interesting things for the coach.

This is an atypical final tournament, the first due to the time of year in which it is held. The players came with full competition, I expected to see them at full speed, I saw a good tone of play.

For me, this is an opportunity to see Switzerland at work. A lot of things I already knew were confirmed for me, unfortunately. We must understand our status well, what we should do, know our opponents. If you offer the 2nd place, then it can also be removed.

We have to be realistic and say that Switzerland is the group favorite. This is a homogeneous national team that is used to final tournaments. They are a mature team in the game, controlling it, they easily extinguished the pressure in the match against Brazil.

They are present at every final tournament. They left Italy at home, in the League of Nations they managed to beat Spain, Portugal, there are things that alarmed us.

We have to believe in our potential and I hope the boys will give me enough reasons to come to you with more hope in the future.

Switzerland is on paper the best in our group. Israel also has quality players, their local teams are involved in European Cups.

“Kosovo is very far behind, we pay less attention to them than we should, but they have players who are developing at a very good level.” Edi Jordanescuquoted by gsp.ro.

The selector will also take part in the Switzerland-Serbia match, which is decisive for reaching the 1/8 finals of the final tournament in Qatar.

In the preliminary matches for Euro 2024, the Romanian national team was placed in Group I along with Switzerland, Israel, Kosovo, Belarus and Andorra.

The selection campaign will start in March 2023.
