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

Mihai Stoicice says Romania will win in Andorra

Romania is in Group I of the Euro 2024 preliminary tournament along with Switzerland, Israel, Kosovo, Belarus and Andorra.

Mihai Stoicice says Romania need to pick up points against lower-ranked teams and that he has no problem winning away to Andorra.

“It could have been much worse and we have to be satisfied. A balanced group, we have a chance. The favorite is, of course, Switzerland. In the fight for second place, we are the most important, after what we have seen recently.

Everyone has to take a lot of responsibility, the players have to realize that they have to have exemplary focus.

I believe that the time to restart the national team was in September, its consolidation should be next year. It is not very easy, if you think about it, all the teams, both Israel and Kosovo, want to reach the final tournament.

We have to pick up points against teams that look inferior and what happens with Switzerland will be a bonus. Before the last two games, I would like us to have calmness, not pressure.

Let’s score more points in the starting phase. I am not afraid that we will not take the three points in Andorra. We will probably learn more details from those from the Republic of Moldova, who weighed them very well.

We must start with victory. Edi is an option of the FRF, we are for him, it is normal to be like that” – Mihai Stoichitseafter returning to the country, Digisport quotes.
