Romanian Manager: Belgium Third in the World; Eager for Points, We Need to Excel

On June 23rd, Romania faces Belgium in Group E’s second round of the European Cup. Ahead of the match, Romanian head coach Ioanuşeu attended a press conference.

About Team Performance

Ioanuşeu: To the outside world, it might seem easier than it appears. Over the past two and a half years, we’ve been building team cohesion. After the first game, spirits were high, but we swiftly regained focus for the second encounter. Everything is unfolding as planned.

About Belgium

Ioanuşeu: I prefer not to compare teams. Tomorrow is a new challenge – they’re ranked third in the world, with exceptional players who are hungry for points. In their last match, they had several golden opportunities. For us, these encounters are extraordinary. We need to elevate ourselves to another level tomorrow, with precise organization, efficient attacking, and playing at our best.

About Team Progress

Ioanuşeu: It’s clear that we must find balance. Football is susceptible to various factors. Stability is crucial for success. We’ve grown, done our part, and process matters as much as the result, because it shapes the outcome. Behind every result lies immense effort, and over two and a half years, we’ve integrated exceptionally well.

About Romania’s Potential

Ioanuşeu: This team has enormous potential, and I’m confident in tapping into it. Our start has been promising, and I hope to maintain it. We’ve always believed in our capabilities.

If Qualifying Matters

Ioanuşeu: A playoff spot would set an example for Romanian football. I feel the entire nation is behind us.

About Match Strategy

Ioanuşeu: Efficiency, practicality, and most importantly, maintaining balance – both statically and dynamically – will be key for us.
