Albania managed to draw 2-2 against Croatia, taking the first point in this "EURO 2024", in the duel that turned out to be dramatic. The attacker, Armando Sadiku, who scored the first goal for the Reds and Blacks in the 2016 European Championship, also spoke about this match. In a statement given to "Klan News", Sadiku stated, among other things:
" We started the match very well, not like Italy where we started and scored the goal and then they were silent for almost the whole first half. We started the first half very strongly and with all our heart the chunas played very well in the first half. We could have scored the second goal, which would have been decisive for us, but sometimes luck was not with us. But finally we managed to equalize. In my opinion, we deserved to win the match, because we played a very good first half, perfect I would say.
Even Berat Gjimshiti said in an interview that we should not only be beautiful, we should also play a little 'dirty football'. When we are in the lead, we must delay the game as much as possible, play with the opponent's nerves.
We missed this in both games, delaying the game a bit, disorienting the opponent. They should have taken advantage of Croatia's weakness. I personally didn't expect Croatia to be so weak, it wasn't weak because we positioned ourselves very well on the field of play. I thought they could be more aggressive, create more chances. They were really weak. We should have won this match, we should have benefited from the weakness that Croatia showed ", said Sadiku.
