Edi Iordenescu analyzes Romania’s opponents in the preliminary round of EURO 2024: “It’s a balanced group”

“I can’t say whether the group is available, but I can say that we are looking with confidence and optimism. It’s time to raise our level, build on the good moments of the past period, especially the September campaign, take them to another level, keep what was good, continue to develop and show a strong mentality.

For each individual game – this is still a balanced group – we must prepare as carefully as possible, be efficient and collect points. We are all looking forward to the EURO. First, it’s a group from which you can score points, but you can also lose. This is a balanced group.

Switzerland this seems to be the most complete team we know quite well. There will be a difficult period of monitoring and analysis, but overall we know the teams and their progress over the last period.

with Israel we met recently and left a good impression. This is a team made up of players currently playing in the Champions League with Maccabi. Let’s not forget the clash between Craiova and Be’er Sheva, a team with individual qualities that have shown good results in the last period.

Kosovo it has a good track record, it is a growing team. We saw the difficulties CFR had in their Conference game (not with Ballkani). I actually spoke to the Cypriot delegation – they lost 1-5 – and they told us to be on our guard, they were a team that gave them problems, very high quality. AND Belarus created surprises, it will be a challenge.

The most important thing is to look at what we have to do, look good, be competitive, raise our level and have hope. With hope and confidence we can do the rest in time

We need to gather in ranks, make great efforts to the players, impose ourselves where they are. We need players who will give their best to the national team. I was ready for any scenario, we have to turn the situation in our favor. They need to have continuity with the club teams and the national team to have good tone and morale. Unconditionally come to the national team and show yourself from the best.

I have a great desire to get to the final tournament with the national team. I can promise that we will give everything for our position. We must fight, we must believe in our chance and we must fight. The last action showed us the potential. I sincerely believe in their potential, in their ambition, in their pride” – Edi Jordanescu on Prima TV.

Giquie Popescu on Romania’s group in the EURO 2024 qualifying tournament: “If we don’t qualify, this generation should be forgotten”

Rezvan Burleanu: “We need a change of mentality to get into the elite”

Rezvan Burleanu, president of the FRF, said that Romania’s group was not easy, but he stressed that the campaign would give confidence to build the team.

“This campaign is not about us and others, but about how we can overcome ourselves. It’s about building a team that achieves high results. There are many players from the youth EURO-2019 and 2021, we hope to go with them to EURO-2024.

Of course we can have very difficult groups, of course B and C were the most difficult, but we believe that with dedication and confidence we can strengthen the group’s cohesion to achieve the result. It will not be easy, we need a change in mentality that will allow us to reach the elite.

Above all, we hope to inspire as many children as possible to play football and to inspire the development of academies. We hope that this will give us great confidence in our work in the years to come.

In September, we had 9 players in the first 11 who came from the 2019 and 2021 youth groups. I think we need to accelerate the cohesion now, but only if they are together. So let’s create a group between EURO and the most experienced” – Rezvan Burleanu on Prima TV.
