Script:

SOUNDBITE: (Romanian) Victor Piturca, Romania national team coach:

"The time that the game is happening is very good in my opinion, and this is because Greece just took part in the World Cup in Brazil. This means that the players might still be a little tired. I know that some of them are not part of the Greek National team anymore, but some of them are. I am also aware of the quality of players that the Greek national team has, they are players that play at a high level around Europe and therefore are used to the big stage. But I believe the same for my players. I believe that we have a very good group of players, and for this reason we are going to fight for a positive result in this game."

SOUNDBITE: (Romanian) Victor Piturca, Romania national team coach:

"Greece's previous coach, Fernando Santos was a very accomplished coach and had very good players, and of course he spent a lot of time at the helm of the national team and coached them for many games. Claudio Ranieri is also a very experienced coach, that also has very good players in his disposal. The only thing I can say is that the fact that the new coaching staff is only at the beginning, it means they are still getting to know the Greek players which may mean they are not yet comfortable and aware of all the situations. For this reason I think we could we have an advantage - but only a little one."
