The Romanian soccer team won on home soil after a fierce battle, and they showed their gratitude to their consistent fans with a unique celebration. As the drums beat, Hagi 10 led his teammates in a salute to the enthusiastic Romanian fans, who got down on one knee and sang to convey their infinite love for them. The fans responded enthusiastically with thunderous applause, and even the ever-calm Romanian No. 2, the one known for his blue hair and "baggy eyes," Ratiu, was moved to tears in front of the camera.
The Romanian team knows that their journey is not a straight one, and the support of their fans is even more impressive. In European soccer, there are no underdogs, and before this Euro, they only won a game in the final round of the Euro 2000 group stage with a thrilling 3-2 victory over England.
However, over the next 24 years, Romania were never able to win the Europa League again. Statistics show that their win rate was only 6%, with only one win in 16 matches and 5 draws and 10 losses in the remaining 15 matches. Despite the poor record, Romanian fans have never stopped cheering for the national team. Perhaps it was this persistence that made the Romanian team choose to express their deepest gratitude to the fans in this way after the victory.
