>> Women’s Handball World Cup: how the matches in the quarterfinals look like – Romania finished in 12th place

Eliza Buceski, the best player in Romania according to coach Florentin Per

Romania finished Main Group III in third position with six points, failing to reach the quarter-finals but also failing to qualify for the pre-Olympic tournament.

However, coach Florentin Pera said he was pleased with the development of his players, among whom he singled out Elisa Bucheski and Krina Pintea.

“I am very pleased and proud of my players. It was a tough match, Poland is a strong team and a team with good players. But today we had a good evolution and I’m glad we fought until the end.

I give 100% in every match and I expect the same from the players. And they showed today that they have character, they played with desire, like a real team. It is important that we showed good energy on the field.

In my opinion, Elisa Buceski was the best player for Romania in this World Cup. He played very, very well and always for the team.

He was our leader.

The same can be said for Crean Pint, who also had very good designs. They both fought to the end today and I appreciate them for that.” Florentin Pera saidfor DigiSport.
