U21, before debut. We need to play with the heart

The striker of the national youth team Louis Munteanu said on Tuesday before the debut at the European Football Championship in Slovakia, that all ‘tricolors’ will have to play in the sacrifice in the first match, with Italy, scheduled on Wednesday.

‘We are prepared and hope that tomorrow we will make a big match and enjoy. I always trust when I get on the field, we want to make a good match, we have quality and we showed that we are good. I am ready to play, I feel good. I am focused on what I have to do here and I hope to have good developments. I think the whole team we have to play in the sacrifice, play with our hearts because we play with Italy, a good team. I am ready to give everything tomorrow. I think I have shown this season that I have value that I am a good player. The whole team of Italy is a good one. Now we have to focus more on ourselves, to see what we do, but we are ready. We hope that tomorrow we will prove that we are better and that we should not take us from above. We want to make a good match, « said Munteanu.

He believes that the national of Romania U21 can exceed this final tournament in 2019, when it reached the semifinals.

At the last edition of Euro U21, organized by Romania together with Georgia, the national youth ended on the last place of the group, which included Spain, Ukraine and Croatia, with only 1 point.
