>> Euro 2024 qualifiers: Romania climb to top spot after impressive success against Andorra

It would be phenomenal if Romania finished the qualification without defeat, says Edi Iordenescu

The Romanian national team wants to qualify for the final tournament of EURO-2024 thanks to an unbeaten streak in the previous matches. Romania have won four and drawn four so far (they will also face Israel and Switzerland).

“After the draw with Belarus, we staged a tragedy… we always want the maximum, but we don’t always get it. Things happen in football. You can say that today we beat a team that didn’t give us any problems. But Andorra scored against those from Kosovo, then Israel, Switzerland… but we didn’t score.

We have one action left, so I call for peace and to play all the matches on the field and score points until the end. Finishing the campaign unbeaten would be phenomenal for all of us.

We continue to make dramas after every result, but we see what the results are in our group and not only. We see that there are no more easy games. Let’s not forget that we have to join the EURO.

We are 10 official games unbeaten and that needs to be highlighted. The national team did not lose for a year and a half, and we have the best defender in the group.

We build around them. We are at a different level compared to the League of Nations, but not at the level we want to reach. That’s why let’s help the national team, they are young players and after this drought we need performance and some morale from outside.

I am ready for anything, I take on everything, full responsibility rests on me. I also accept criticism, but when it is objective. It really annoys me when there’s evil intent in the middle, but I can’t control it.

But when there is another wave of great criticism, I sleep at night, more difficult, but I sleep. But I don’t sleep at night when players are criticized or insulted. Because it annoys me” – Edi Jordanescu.
