Edi Iordenescu: “The responsibility for the Romanian shirt outweighs any disappointment on a personal level”

​The coach said that he realizes that the season has not been what many of the “tricolors” expected, but hopes that the bet on these matches will force them to overcome “personal troubles”.

“I was pleased to find among the tricolors during this meeting the positive spirit and fighting mentality that we have created together during the last period and which we have consolidated with a good start in these previous matches.

We recognize that for many players the club season has not lived up to expectations in terms of goals and that this month brings with it quite a bit of uncertainty about their futures.

But the responsibility of the Romanian shirt and the stakes of these two trips, from Kosovo and Switzerland, outweigh any personal disappointment or excitement.

Before us is a difficult challenge that requires full concentration, against opponents of a very good level. We can prove that we deserve to go to EURO 2024 only if mind, soul and all football qualities are put at the service of Romania’s goal. And I’m sure we can do it!

Even if we miss important players due to medical reasons, and the recent history of the first representative in the games held at this time of the year is not very happy, we are ready to look for solutions, not alibi.

That is why we started this path: to change something and qualify for the final tournaments, and not to connect with the past and contexts.”

I have complete confidence in each of the tricolors and all of them as a group as we have consolidated recently. I feel that their football maturity is happening at the same time as the cohesion that we wanted, which is beyond their obvious potential.

We are confident and I want to convey to all Romanian fans the same message that I share with the tricolors: united by all that is best in us, with thoughts and sacrifices put in the service of one goal, we will achieve what we have achieved. want to be: let’s enjoy together!” – Edi Jordanescu for the official website of the Russian Federation.
