The President of the FRF believes that the qualification was no accident – What was the most difficult moment

After beating Israel 2-1 in Hungary, the tricolors returned to the country on Sunday, and Rezvan Burlyanu spoke about the long-awaited qualification.

The president of the Romanian Football Federation believes that the confidence in the players and staff determined the qualification for the final tournament.

“We told you from the beginning that we are very confident. And this message also came from the staff and the players. After the match, which I experienced with the greatest intensity, I cried with joy. I can say that this is the second time I am crying from joy. The first time when a daughter was born. What has happened is a consequence of what has been happening for the past 7 years.

Three under-21 qualifications, a historic qualification at the Olympic Games and one under-19. This qualification is not accidental. This follows other results we have seen in recent years. All the results prepared what happened. And all breeders have made their contribution over the past 7 years.

This generation has made us proud and happy. I trusted even in the most difficult moments. The hardest part was after the League of Nations ended, when I was very low. But I believed in the staff and the players. This helped us to be undefeated and qualified now. It’s a very nice trip. And I want it to be a source of inspiration. This is not just the victory of a generation of heroes who will only show us what they are capable of. We hope to have an impact in society.

In the coming months, both I and the breeder will tell you what will happen next. We as a Federation want to maintain the cohesion that exists between staff and players. No matter where we finish, there will be intense preparation to move on to the next stage. Edi Yordenescu made a huge contribution. Above all, what it means to build a culture of performance, at the level of the first team.

This caused a reaction among the players, which grew into a family. Those who communicate with him know that he suffered a lot. But he believed in this project. It is an act of courage and responsibility to continue after a campaign in which we have not achieved our goal. But he realized that he had created a single group. And that we are well on our way, but we need a little patience.

Financial terms have never been an important element, so premiums will be paid on time. It seems that we have learned to enjoy ourselves. I told the players and the staff that we don’t need to think about what has been or what will be. Let’s just enjoy it. And after the match with Switzerland, we will continue to enjoy. I received over a thousand messages. I want to thank everyone.

It was 7 years of sacrifices and efforts. But all this helped us a lot. We thank the fans for their trust. And to the members of the Romanian football family who joined this vision. We want this to be the best generation in the last 20 years.” – said Rezvan Burleanureports DigiSport.

On Tuesday, November 21, at 21:45, in the last round of Group I of the Euro 2024 preliminary tournament, Romania will meet Switzerland at home.

Know:

• 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.

• 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.
