In the first preparatory match, before the start of the EURO, Romania will play a match against Bulgaria at home. Romania can be considered the most pleasant surprise of the qualifiers because of the way they qualified. In the group with Switzerland and Israel, among the better teams, many believed that the Romanians would fight for a place in the playoffs or possibly for second place. However, the Romanians reassured them all with excellent games. They finished the qualification without a single loss and won the first place in the group with a very safe game. What was particularly impressive during the qualifiers was their defense, which allowed the opponents to score only 5 goals. Romanians are awaiting this match in a much better atmosphere than their rivals, and they have better individual quality and there's no doubt that the game itself means much more to them as it comes as a preparations for EURO. After this match, they will also play a match against Liechtenstein, which is not a particularly serious opponent, and I believe that in that match the coach will give an opportunity to some players who don't get as many chances. Bulgaria can be considered a better rival and I expect Romania to leave a good impression in this match. Bulgaria, meanwhile, have not been present at EURO since 2004 and football in this country is in a phase of stagnation, if not in decline. Ilian Iliev's side failed to record a win during their qualification campaign for this summer's tournament, and it is now 20 years since the national team last played in a major competition. In their qualification group, they took the last place with only 4 points won after 8 games. They play quite badly and this team does not have any individual who stands out from the rest. It should be expected that the coach will promise the team in this match to see who he can count on for the upcoming games in the Nations League. I don't expect a game with a lot of goals, because the Bulgarians simply play that way, but I think Romania is a better team at the moment and they will manage to prove it.

在欧洲杯开始前的第一场预备赛中，罗马尼亚将在主场迎战保加利亚。罗马尼亚可以被认为是预选赛中最令人愉快的惊喜，因为他们出线的方式。在与瑞士和以色列同组的强队中，许多人认为罗马尼亚人会为季后赛席位而战，甚至可能是第二名。然而，罗马尼亚人用出色的比赛让他们放心。他们在资格赛中一场未负，以一场非常安全的比赛获得小组第一名。预选赛中最令人印象深刻的是他们的防守，只让对手进了5个球。罗马尼亚人在比对手更好的氛围中等待着这场比赛，他们有更好的个人素质，毫无疑问，这场比赛本身对他们来说意味着更多，因为它是为欧洲杯做准备。在这场比赛之后，他们还将和列支敦士登进行一场比赛，列支敦士登并不是一个特别强大的对手，我相信在那场比赛中教练会给一些没有那么多机会的球员一些机会。保加利亚可以被认为是一个更好的对手，我希望罗马尼亚在这场比赛中给人留下好印象。与此同时，保加利亚自2004年以来就没有参加过欧洲杯，这个国家的足球即使没有衰退，也处于停滞阶段。伊利安·伊利耶夫(Ilian Iliev)的球队在今年夏天的世界杯预选赛中未能取得一场胜利，现在距离国家队上一次参加重大赛事已经有20年了。在预选赛小组中，他们在8场比赛后仅获得4分，排名最后。他们踢得很糟糕，这支球队没有任何一个人能从其他球队中脱颖而出。可以预料的是，教练将在这场比赛中向球队承诺，看看他能指望谁在即将到来的国家联赛中出场。我不期望会有一场进球很多的比赛，因为保加利亚人就是这样踢的，但我认为罗马尼亚现在是一支更好的球队，他们会设法证明这一点。
