With the second round of the UEFA Europa League group stage just around the corner, Romanian soccer team defender Dragusin attended a pre-match press conference to give the media and fans his thoughts on the upcoming battle against Belgium.

Dragussin began by recalling the team's moment of joy when they beat Ukraine in the last round of matches. He confessed that that victory did make the whole team rejoice and the joy of victory permeated the team for quite some time. However, as professional players, they know very well that past victories do not represent the future, and they need to give their best in every game. Therefore, the whole team has quickly adjusted their state and focused on the upcoming match against Belgium.

He mentioned that the team has made intensive preparations in several aspects in order to prepare for this match. And the extra energy and confidence brought by the last win has definitely injected a stronger motivation into the team and boosted the overall morale.

Talking about the pressure of the tournament, Dragussin confessed that he has felt the immense pressure since the qualifiers. Playing for the national team, pressure is inevitable. However, he emphasized that the win against Ukraine has not only raised the expectations of the team but also the fans. The team is now full of confidence and every player is convinced of their strengths and is looking forward to playing against Belgium.

While talking about the rival Belgian team, Dragussin showed enough respect and caution. He admitted that Belgium is a strong team with many top players and is undoubtedly more threatening than their previous opponent Ukraine. However, he also said that the Romanian team is not afraid of any opponent. They have faced many top teams, including Ukraine, and have shown excellent performance. Therefore, he is confident that the team will be able to successfully stop the Belgian offense, play in their own style and achieve a positive result.

Dragussin also fondly said that representing his country at the highest level in Europe is an unspeakable honor. He is willing to give everything for his country and for the fans, even if it means a huge sacrifice. He firmly believes that when the whole country is behind you, when the fans send endless enthusiasm and encouragement from the stands and from their homes, all the effort is worth it.
