Romania beat Andorra away in a Euro 2024 qualifier after a modest game in which the tricolors lost several moments and were outnumbered for half an hour.

Selector Edi Iordenescu is satisfied with the result, disappointed with the relaxation of the players

At the end of the game, coach Edward Iordenescu congratulated his players for their effort and attitude, but highlighted the relaxation that had come into the game after Andorra were down ten players.

“It gives us peace, it’s a good debut. We were obliged to give this result. In three days we need three more points in the standings. We entered the game quite hard, a little timidly, we were looking for our rhythm, but we went in the right direction.

What I don’t want to happen in the future… We were like an extra man and we had to keep attacking. But we learn from our mistakes, I congratulate the team for their efforts, for their attitude. I think we relaxed and that’s not normal. We met with an extra person and we relaxed.

To be honest, we met an uncomfortable opponent, with a game on the edge of regulation, with an uncomfortable field. We have to think high to set important goals match after match.

Today we had to score again. We have to play a very good game against Belarus and finish the game with six points.

To qualify, we must learn to suffer, to sacrifice, to have a good spirit. You have to learn to fight.” – said Edi Iordanescureports News.ro.

In the next game, Romania will meet Belarus at home on Tuesday at 21:45.
