Edi Yordenescu says he had only one credit: he believed in his players

At the end of the match with Switzerland (the tricolors won 1-0 after a goal by Denis Alibek), Edi Iordenescu spoke about “the only merit of the selector” after the selection for Euro-2024.

“It’s boundless joy and obsessive feelings, this generation can grow. I have only one merit. I trusted the players.

There were no easy moments, I am not angry with the critics, we are moving on. The important thing is that we finished an incredible campaign without defeat. I trust absolutely everyone.

For me, it was a huge responsibility that I felt in front of these viewers.

It is necessary to analyze well what we did, when there were analyzes and corrections, we developed. I built everything with my players.

It is important that the fans are with the national team. Romanians should be proud of their team. Together we are always stronger” – Edi Jordanescuon Antenna 1.

Romania and the version of the hell group from Euro-2024: with France, Holland and Italy

21 teams are known to have qualified for next summer’s final tournament in Germany, with the bottom three earning their tickets after the Nations League play-offs.

The most difficult group option that the tricolors could have after the draw would actually be going back in time: that is, the opponents we also faced at Euro 2008: France, Netherlands and Italy.

At the opposite pole, we could be drawn in a slightly more accessible group with opponents such as Slovakia and one of the winners of the play-offs in route C (Georgia, Luxembourg, Greece or Kazakhstan).

In summary, an easier group might look like this: Belgium, Slovakia, Luxembourg.

  • The last three available places at Euro 2024 will come from the Nations League after the play-offs next March.
