>> Romania at EURO 2024 – Why the match with Switzerland is important and what a hellish group could look like for the tricolors

Edi Iordănescu will no longer communicate with the press in the coming months – He will introduce silenzio stampa

As reported by Fanatik.ro, Iordenescu announced that he will speak to journalists after the match against Switzerland (November 21, 21:45, National Arena), the last in the group of qualifiers for Euro 2024, and then will not make any further statement in the coming months .

He will no longer speak to anyone, make any announcements, and will no longer appear on any shows, the quoted source said.

The coach wants to spend more time with his family and recover mentally after qualifying for Euro 2024.

​Romania qualified for EURO 2024 after defeating Israel (2-1), and the squad prepared by Edi Iordenescu will mark its sixth appearance in the final European tournament.

Throughout history, the “tricolor” missed many qualifying matches, and Romania participated in only five tournaments: 1984, 1996, 2000, 2008 and 2016.

To stay in second place, Romania must not lose to Switzerland in their last match of the previous tournament to finish the group in first place. The match with the Swiss will take place on Tuesday, November 21, from 21:45 (LiveBLOG on HotNews.ro).

If this happens, there are two possible group options for the tricolors. We’re talking hellish, but also one that could be, at least at first glance, affordable.

So, in the category of infernal groups, we have the following option: FranceRomania, Netherlands and Switzerland.

At the opposite pole, with a bit of luck, we could find ourselves in a group that looks like this: AustriaRomania, Slovenia and Slovakia.

Know:

• The draw for the Euro 2024 groups will take place on December 2 at 19:00 (Romanian time) at the “Elbphilharmonie” in Hamburg.

• During the draw, the winners of the groups are taken into account first, and then those who take 2 places.

• In previous groups with six teams in each (unlike in Romania), the points scored by the last team will not be taken into account, reports gsp.ro.

• At this moment, the tricolors are in the second urn.

• If they lose to Switzerland, Romania could end up in third or even fourth place, depending on other results from previous matches.
