Albania faces the Czech Republic on September 7 in Prague, in a challenge that is very important for the journey towards "EURO 2024". In addition to coach Silvinjho, Berat Gjimshiti also appeared at the press conference. The red and black defender said that the team is ready for this match and the only goal for this match is victory.
Determining month for the National Team, does the group have confidence?
Of course yes. The group has just been formed and we are very experienced and young players who give everything. Confidence is 100%. Every match is important, there are 3 points in the game, 5 finals that we will give our best.
Are measures taken for the height of the Czech Republic?
True, they are very long and we are not very close to them. We will play our football, be careful with balls in the air and set pieces. We will have concentration, as it is not only height but also self-confidence. If you don't have confidence you won't catch the ball.
Coming from the Presheva Valley, how difficult is it to carry the burden of representing the National Team for many families in emigration, but also other Albanians in the Valley?
In the National Team, we have boys from every region, everyone knows what they are here for. We give everything on the field. There are people who have suffered to get to this point but when you play for something that is bigger than the jersey, for the nation, it is a feeling that cannot be described.
Two games where we are not favorites, does it put the team but also the department under pressure? In "EURO 2016" you were left out, does this motivate you to be in "EURO 2024"?
I can't say that the motivation is greater than others, but when I'm in the National Team I have it all the time. I want to reach the qualification and be in "EURO 2024". Everyone is motivated and giving everything. They remain in history and the motivation is very high.
In important matches, the team is affected by the weight of responsibility. How does this feel this time?
Everyone is different, some take it harder and some have faced this pressure as I think I am and I played under a lot of pressure in some matches. We will face this pressure. We only have qualification in our heads and this will push us even more.
Easier to face Czech Republic without Patrik Shik?
I believe that the strength of the Czech Republic is not the individuals but the team which has a very high strength with players who play in big teams. I know Patrik, having played several times, he is strong and has had some injuries, but I believe he will come back stronger. The Czech Republic has many strong players and are favorites to qualify.
A draw here and a win with Poland or a win here and a draw with Poland?
We'll see tomorrow, it's two different games. We only think about this game and then we have 3 days to prepare for the next game.
