Ilir Daja spoke before the match that Dinamo will play with Jagiellonian. Tomorrow at "Air Albania" a miracle will be needed, after in the first meeting in Poland, Dynamo was defeated with a score of 3-0.
The coach of the capital team shows the state of the team before the return challenge in the Conference League "play-offs". And problems, as is known, are not lacking.
Ilir Daja declared before the match with the Poles:
" Of course, we are facing a very strong team that was also seen in the first match. Last season they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Betis. Adding to this the level of difficulty that we also have our own absences, whether with players who have left and who have not been replaced, that even though new players have arrived, it takes time for them to mesh with the rest of the group. We have players who came close in yesterday's session, but they come from a one or two-week absence, which means that even if we use them tomorrow, we use them in limited minutes. So we will do our best to make a match that at least presents ourselves as best as possible. Seeing and then doing, because never say never in football, but it is a very difficult mission for us .
Rest in the championship? Even the players who were injured are not expected to be part of the first match of the championship. Naturally, when you go to a level like the "play off" of the Conference League, you need to have a week of rest to accumulate the strength to face, because it is known that the more tours you go through in Europe, the more difficult it becomes. Nothing would have changed even if it had been played, but it is better that the match did not take place and I take the opportunity to thank Teuta and the Albanian Football Federation .
Dinamo has not been in European competitions for 15 years and for the first year after a decade and a half of absence, to reach the play-offs is a pretty big achievement. I believe we did our best. If we had the whole contingent, maybe we would have done something even better.
When the emotional doses drop, the logic and the analyses we have done come to the fore. We played with a centre-back who is a right-back, we played with a right-back who is a right-midfielder, we are missing our two main scorers in three weeks and the players who have arrived, I am mentioning Berisha who came last, he arrived only 3-4 days before the match. Considering also the absence of captain Dita and Qefaliaj who are important for us, considering that Loran, since his injury with Hajduk, only had one training session, with all these problems, when you do the analysis, you know that if it had been different, our performance in the first match would have been different. So it is not difficult to tell the boys to see that glass half full and not half empty.
We have prepared the match in the best possible way, because only yesterday they joined the Qefaliaj, Dita and Qardaku group. We had a problem yesterday with a player who was in the hospital until late hours due to the circulating viruses. We will take things with maximum motivation, but without going into adventure because naturally if you go into adventure with a team with a fast attack like Jagiellonia, we may have difficulties in continuing the game .
Defense? It was an improvised solution because even with Hoxha's injury, we have searched and not found another center back until now. We were forced to move a player, in the Albanian championship Meksi has played this position several times when we needed his help. But at such levels, with such a strong opponent, it comes with problems. Any kind of solution we have made comes with problems. Even tomorrow, Dita is a big question mark .
Considered the best Albanian coach by the public. Do you have any comments?
I feel respected for the opinion, in the end football is played for the fans and when I receive congratulations from Dinamo fans and not only, of course I feel appreciated. This is a joint work because football is a collective sport where I will share this merit together with my players, for the recent performance. It has always been one thing that has led me to these good results, the seriousness and dedication that I have for my position in training. I have been a coach for many years, and like the first day I continue to have the same motivation, dedication and seriousness. In the end, when this is supported like that of the fans after the match with Hajduk, part of the satisfaction for all the dedication made returns .
Have any of the players recovered?
In the few days we have had available, since Dita was not present at training, he joined the team in yesterday's session. We have tried several possibilities. And today we have a dilemma, to try with Meksi or with another player. We will also see today's training session. We will have a difficult time, but in the end we will risk it because we have nothing to do.
Qefalija is a player who adds beauty to our game, it is an important lack in the maneuver that we have. We hope that tomorrow they will help us, but I believe that tomorrow even if he is activated, it will be with reduced minutes. Because Qefalija joined the group in the training session yesterday .
Vllaznia? Of course, with a difficult opponent like Jagiellonia, you have to be 100% focused and not spread your attention. We have always done the same thing in the championship, that we have taken things step by step. And this time we will think that tomorrow we will be concentrated and focused on the match with Jagiellonia. After its completion, we will deal with the match we have in the championship , "said Ilir Daja.
