"Albania is returning to the scene", Mergim Mavraj: We are wrong when

Three goals with the national team, one of them in the 2-1 victory with Armenia in 2015, where Albania paved the way to the European Championship in France.

As a defender, Mërgim Mavraj has made a great contribution to the red and black jersey, from the time he debuted during a friendly with Qatar during De Biaz's time, the appearances in "EURO 2016", until the last match against France in 2019 under the guidance of Edi Reja, where he also wore the captain's armband. Mavraj returns to speak exclusively for "Panorama Sport", regarding the current situation in the National Team. The changes that Silvinho has made, the solid defense that has appeared so far, but also the chances for next year's European Championship.

You were part of Albania in the 2016 European Championship, do you think this success will be repeated?

I think that the success of France can be repeated and I am sure it will be repeated, not only now, but also later. There must be a way because we are a country with very good football players and the federation has done a good job in this aspect. Then it was the first time, but I don't want to compare the achievements, because each achievement has its own sweetness and its own satisfaction, so we can only say: "Well done, chuna".

There are three more matches of these qualifiers, where we need at least 5 points, how do you see these matches?

Nothing has been won so far. Just for the moment, the hearts of the fans have been won again. Colors and flags are raised. We are back on the scene of international football, after being somewhat hidden. The game in Moldova is very difficult and in my opinion it will be decisive. But also the match with the Czech Republic in Tirana. Let's not become euphoric, because people make the biggest mistakes when they feel safe. We are still not sure and there are some matches that we have to play with our eyes open and a maximum focus, even if we are zero to zero with all the points in the standings. Nothing has been achieved yet. There are two very difficult games ahead and we have to take them very seriously.
