Romania Boss Optimistic Despite Tough Challenge

Romania coach Edward Iordanescu is exuding confidence ahead of his team's Euro 2024 opener against Ukraine. Despite acknowledging the difficulty of the task, Iordanescu believes his players have the determination and spirit to overcome any obstacle.
Romanian Resilience on Display
Iordanescu praised his players' fighting spirit, highlighting their never-say-die attitude. "We will fight for every metre on the pitch," he declared. "We are under no illusions about the challenge we face, but we are prepared to give everything we have." Romania's last-minute victory over Armenia in their most recent friendly match has boosted their morale and confidence.
Ukraine's Goal-Scoring Threat
While Iordanescu acknowledged Ukraine's attacking prowess, he emphasized the importance of his team's defense. "We need to be compact and disciplined," he said. "We can't afford to give them too much space. If we stay solid at the back, we have the quality up front to hurt them." Romania's defense has been relatively untested in recent matches, but they will face their toughest challenge yet against a Ukraine team that boasts a wealth of attacking talent.
Romania's EURO Hopes Pinned on Opening Match
Iordanescu knows that a positive result in their opening match is crucial for Romania's chances of advancing from the group stage. A win against Ukraine would give them a significant psychological advantage and boost their confidence for the remaining fixtures. The team has been working hard in preparation for this match, and they are determined to make a strong statement on the European stage.
