Simona Halep’s message for the national team
Simona Halep admitted that she doesn’t usually watch football matches, but she revealed that she is rooting for the “tricolors” at the final tournament in Germany. Asked if she will take to the streets if Edi Iordănescu’s team manages to qualify in a higher phase of the competition, the athlete from Constanța gave a surprising answer.
“I’m not good at football at all. I want it to reach as high as possible. I don’t follow, but I wish them success and I know how much this qualification means for Romanian football and, above all, for them, because most of them are very young. I don’t say “no!”. I’m all for that kind of thing, and I like to applaud the performance, because I’ve enjoyed being applauded by others. Possibly going out, yes!” said Simona Halep, according to sport.ro.

I really admired how serious and good athletes they were. And physical, and talented, and how they hit the ball… I really, really liked it. And I hope that the new generation will be there”, said the former WTA leader, according to the quoted source.
