SOUNDBITE (Romanian) Ovidiu Hoban, Romania midfielder (asked about the security presence at the team's hotel and training ground):

"It's normal for a major event, having said that, I will not be bringing my family to France to follow me during the tournament. I think it is better for them to watch me on television from home."
