After a fierce battle, the Romanian team, in the joy of victory, orchestrated a touching ceremony to give back to the fans who were with them all the way. At the end of the game, No. 10 Hagi led his teammates to the enthusiastic Romanian fans, and all the players knelt down on one knee in unison, expressing their gratitude to the fans with their passionate songs. Fans also responded with thunderous applause, at this moment, even the blue hair and "eye bags" known as the Romanian No. 2 Ratiu can not help but be moved, tears in front of the camera.
The Romanian team knows that the road they have traveled is not a straight one, and the unwavering support of their fans is all the more precious. There are no underdogs in the European arena, and the Romanian team's record prior to the Euros has been quite rocky. Back to the last round of the group stage of Euro 2000, they won a match against England with a score of 3-2.
However, in the 24 years since then, the Romanian team has repeatedly hit the wall on the journey to the Europa League, with a total win rate of only 6%, winning only one of the first 16 matches, and drawing 5 and losing 10 of the remaining 15 matches. Although most of the time failed to smile to the end, but the Romanian fans have never given up for the national team shouting and cheering. Perhaps, it is this belief of not giving up that made the Romanian team choose such a solemn gesture to express their deepest gratitude to the fans.
