Roma landed in Tirana this morning, while in the evening they will play a friendly match with Partizan. The team led by Mourinho and the Italian delegation were received at the airport by part of Partizan's staff.
Among the footballers who have been gathered for this match by coach Murinjo, the defender of the national team, Marash Kumbulla, is also present. The 23-year-old is recovering after the serious injury he suffered at the end of the championship against Milan and will return to the field only at the end of the year, while with Roma he has come to accompany the team in his country.
Kumbulla was part of Roma a season ago when the Italian side won the Conference League, thus becoming the first team to win that trophy.
Marash Kumbulla gave a long interview to "Il Messaggero": "My wish is to be available to Rome again, before Christmas".
Does winning the Conference League final in Tirana represent the pinnacle of your Roma experience?
Of course, for me it was the first trophy in my career. The victory in my country was even more beautiful. What happened in Tirana was a great joy.
Was the Budapest final, instead, a wound?
Yeah, that was one heck of a match. Very bad luck followed us, episodes with the judgment, other things also did not go well. Now we have to start again, but if we have to, let's start again from Tirana, from the good times, not from the disappointments.
What team is Partizan?
Good team, playing in the Conference League, in the third round. It will be a valuable test for us in view of the opening match of the championship against Salernitana.
Last season, in a few days you went from scoring against Real Sociedad to suffering a serious injury...
Pikërisht, kur isha në gjendje t’i jepja një dorë skuadrës, me Murinjon që filloi të më besonte mua… Dridhem kur nis të mendoj për këtë.
Kur planifikoni të ktheheni?
Dëshira ime është të jem në dispozicion të Romës para Krishtlindjeve.
Në këtë periudhë të vështirë, kush ju ka qendruar më afër në Trigoria?
Bashkëlojtarët kanë qenë të gjithë të jashtëzakonshëm. Dy ditë pas operacionit më ndihmuan të vishja këpucët dhe çorapet. Nëse vërtetë më duhet të përmend emra, mund të tregoj Spinacolën, Karsdorp dhe Bove.
Disa vite më parë thatë se kundërshtari më i vështirë për t’u markuar ishte Dibala. A i mbeteni të njëjtit mendim tani që “Joya” është në Trigoria?
Of course, Paulo is unique, unpredictable. You feel like you're getting to know him, training with him every day. However, it always manages to surprise you. He hides the ball, it's just another level.
Which match would you like to replay?
Roma-Milan, when I tore the ligament in my knee. By turning back, I would avoid colliding with Zhiru. What bad luck! I ran back, he was falling forward. It was impossible to avoid.
Of the new trends, who impressed you the most?
Wow. He is a very technical player, I think he will give us a big hand. And then Ndicka, I talked to him the other day. He looks better physically, he is a great player.
