After the victory against Brazil, the French receive Tuesday at Le Mans, the team of Romania for the start of qualifying for Euro 2017. Presentation of the opponent: meeting with Andreea Laiu and the captain of the selection Florentina Olar.

The French team, quarter-finalist of the last World Cup in Canada, begins its qualifying campaign for Euro 2017 Tuesday at Le Mans, against Romania. The other selections in this group 3 are Albania, Greece and Ukraine.

Romania is 40th in the FIFA rankings. A match at stake analyzed by the Romanian international striker Andreea Laiu: "France is a strong team with many good players who play in championships stronger than at home in Romania. Romania is in a period of growth, but it will take time to reach the next level. "

The championship of France counts two players already selected with the Romanian selection. Striker Anna Banuta, who plays in Rodez in D1, and defender Daniela Gurz, who plays in Division 2 at FC Metz.

Olympia Cluj is the most important club in Romania and largely provides the women's national team. Lyon in the past and PSG have or will meet this training committed in the Champions League.

Andreea Laiu continues: "Romania has many good players outside Europe and in other foreign countries, but the budget allocated to the national team is low. "

 

The point of view of Florentina Olar (captain of the Romanian selection / photo above):

"Everyone knows that France is one of the strongest teams in the world. I watched France during their World Cup matches and I could see they play a modern and spectacular football. France has good players, with different qualities. Things that help become a complete team. We will play against world class players. We will take more experience and see our real level as a football player. Romanian women's football is not as developed as it should be. My opinion is that we have a competitive team that works hard. The Romanian women's football championship is not strong enough, important enough. "
