Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson were among the Tottenham players who took to social media to wish Radu Dragusin luck ahead of Romania’s European Championship campaign.
Radu Dragusin gets ready for Euros opener
Dragusin has not had the easiest of starts to life at Spurs, having struggled to get starts since his move from Genoa in January.
However, the 22-year-old did end the season strongly, playing all 90 minutes against Manchester City and Sheffield United, and hardly putting a foot wrong in those matches.
The Spurs star will hope to take that momentum into the Euros as he is central to Romania’s hopes of going far in the tournament.
The Eastern European nation find themselves in a tricky group alongside Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine, and they will be reliant and Dragusin and his fellow defenders to keep it tight at the back if they are to make it into the knockouts.
Heung-min Son wishes Radu Dragusin good luck
Ahead of Romania’s tournament opener against Ukraine at the Allianz Arena on Monday, the Tottenham man took to Instagram to post a picture of himself draped in his nation’s flag.
Son responded to the post with: “Let’s go my boy”, while Johnson wrote “Good luck brother!”. Meanwhile, Dragusin’s centre-back partner Micky van de Ven responded with a Dragon emoji.
Spurs Web Opinion
With this being the first major tournament for the likes of Van de Ven and Dragusin, it will be interesting to see how they cope with the pressure that comes with such high stakes.
It is a shame that we will not be seeing Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro at the Euros.
