Albania will host Georgia tomorrow at 'Air Albania' for the match of the second round of Group B1 in the League of Nations. The team closes the final preparations today, while coach Silvinjo and midfielder Kristjan Asllani appeared at the official press conference. The first to speak was the midfielder of the Albanian national team.
" Both teams come with victories, they won deeply against the Czech Republic. I believe that we will respect the opponent, but we are not afraid. We have all the fans in the stadium, we thank them. Georgia is growing, we saw it in the European. We have trained well. Ukraine is gone and must be forgotten. With this team we can win points.
We are very midfield, we all know the work we have to do. Ramadani and I played, but I feel better than everyone else. The objective is to make points to make Albanians proud.
I played several times in front of the defense, 6, but here I play a little more forward since it is Ramadan. I grew up in the defensive phase, but I work for the team. Football is a physical game, you have to run and do both phases of the game .
First debut with Georgia? Two years with the National Team, the last one was very good. We played in the European Championship, we raised the level. We have to forget about the European Championship, now are the matches and we have a strong group.
The episode with Ray Manaj about the penalty kick? Rei and I are friends, we made fun of that case, but these things stay on the field, as we are professionals. I apologized, we all want to score. Rei shot, but we won and that's not the problem. He is an attacker, he wants a goal and he played a super match. We have forgotten and think only of Georgia.
The world? It is our objective, we have a strong group. We played Ukraine and won, tomorrow we have Georgia, a team that is growing. The Czech Republic, with whom we played, is missing. Our objective is to reach the World Cup. Let's see the match tomorrow as that is where the focus is.
Do you see Inzagi's position in Albania? I don't know, the normal coach who sees my matches. Brozovic played at Inter and I played that role. Only here I am freer. When he plays close to the goal it's easier for me, but I haven't had many goals.
Asllani's penalty goal or Manaj's foul goal? Manaj's foul goal (Laughs).
Kvica Kvaratshkelia? Georgia is a team on the rise. I played against Kvaras, he is very strong. He has been doing very well for Napoli in Serie A for 2 years. We have to be careful, we have to keep 2 people with him. We have to be careful."
