>> The result that qualifies Romania for Euro 2024 after the match against Israel

“As an individual value, Romania is lower than Israel,” says Bohdan Shtelya

The former goalkeeper of the national team believes that the opponents are not afraid of our team, and says that the team prepared by Alon Khazan is more valuable in the individual plan.

“We shouldn’t give them a chance to play, but to be honest, there’s not much difference in value between us and them. I don’t think we have players who play at their level.

There is no doubt that we are better in the ranking, we have morale, we have rested much more than them, plus we have peace. We should make the most of all these things.

We must not lie on one ear because we are not above Israel. As an individual value, we are directly below them. I don’t remember our match against the team with which we are fighting in the qualification and in which we have the initiative. I dominated them only when they let their guard down. Not even about Kosovo, and I guess I’ll have to say that again.

I would like to say more about the national team, but we have no identity. There is no one player who can be called brilliant in every game, who puts his foot on the ball at a certain time and does something.

Even Janis Hagi and Nicolae Stanciu. Not every time I step on the ball, something happens. Stancu has a certain level, he has taken on the role of a leader, he is the captain, but…

I think we qualify for the European Championship at the moment because we just went with the flow. We search, we fight to get an identity, almost no one respects us, and everyone who comes to play with them is almost on a knife edge.

We fight tier 2-3 teams, that’s who we are. I am with the national team, but I see reality and accept it. I would like to say nice things, but we are not at an extraordinary level” – Bohdan Stelaquoted by Fanatik.
