Coach Edi Martini spoke in Latvia, after Vllaznia secured qualification against Daugavpils. The red and blue coach was happy with the 2-4 victory away from home, to advance to the second round of the Conference League, where he will face Vikingur Reykjavik of Iceland.
Martin's words also contained sensational words aimed at him with sarcasm.
" Very important, I want to thank the boys endlessly. They scored, conceded, went into a disadvantage, managed to turn the result around. Compliments to the boys, completely their merit, well done.
It means a lot, with all these ups and downs we went through, injuries and departures, the stadium, we managed to have a match, we played well, despite being distracted and conceding two goals. I don't want to dwell on the mistakes. I want to dwell on the character the boys showed on the field, they didn't get demoralized, they fought and well done to them.
We had confidence. In the moments when we lost 1-2, there were moments of panic. In the second half we calmed the boys down, we told them that the game is 0-0, continue the game, we have to play our game. We achieved it, shivers, fever, discomfort, endless emotions, I am satisfied.
Here we are 23 players, there are no young and old. Those who will perform better, who will give more, will gain confidence, will play, it doesn't matter young or old. Whoever gives in training, everyone's sweat is served.
I've had two sleepless nights, thank God I'll get some sleep today. First of all, I want to dedicate this to my parents who see it, my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and all the guys on the team.
Diego Martini? I had my heart set on him because I know he suffers like me. It was a match that pleased us all, thank you for your interest.
We have accomplished a task that had to be accomplished. An elimination against this opponent, I personally would call it a shame. When you are beaten by a team better than you, you normally give up, but to play two games, dominate and qualify, this was… thank God we came back.
The second round match is in a week, we don't have time for anything. We have to try to give our best, the match is coming, we have situations with injuries, fatigue has done its job. We will try to have some reinforcements during this week that can help us, we hope that 2-3 players that we are waiting for will come to us. And we will not go for tourism.
All departments will be reinforced. We will do what is necessary to get the team ready. I was a footballer in the Champions League, when we played against them, we qualified. Maybe it's difficult, but we don't go for tourism.
I greet and thank all the fans who have supported us. I say to those who spit poison, keep the poison you have spit to yourself because it infects you. It doesn't do anything to us. We continue to move forward, we are a family. As much positivity as possible for those who don't sleep well when we win.
We have accomplished a task, we will give our best, we know that we will have a strong opponent who is physically good. You saw what he did to Egnatia in the second game. However, we have time to prepare for 4-5 days, and play our game.
The word champion is a big word. We want it big and small, there are also those who don't want to say it right. We have to see, until the championship starts we have to make improvements in the team, buy players, get those we need. Looking at the purchases we will make, we will reach what is my dream and everyone's desire to become champion. We will fight for it. However, until we complete the team and see what others are doing because a lot is being invested, then we will talk about the title. I have a dream to the fullest.
I wish Kevin all the best in the world, he is a guy with character. It is not easy in a match where you can kill your leg, get injured, he played until the last seconds with insistence, gave us the goal and the assist, I say good luck to him, a guy with character and well done to him, "said Martini after the qualification.
