Albania faces Italy in the first match of the Reds and Blacks of "EURO 2024", which will be played in Dortmund, on June 15, at 21:00. The captain of the Reds and Blacks, Berat Gjimshiti, said in the conference before the match that the players and the coach have studied the rival well and that a positive result would help a lot in qualifying from the group.
Is this the strongest Italy it has had in recent years or is it struggling?
"Of course I know them well because I have been playing in Serie A for many years and a large part of the National Team plays there. It might be of help. Many of us who play in Italy know them very well. We have discussed the weaknesses with the coach. Italy is the reigning champion and we must have maximum respect. It will be a tough match."
Do you think that the match with Italy will be very important?
There are three important matches, but one changes the journey and gives you confidence if we start on the right foot. To change the fate in the group qualification.
A duel with Skamača. Have you discussed something about what you expect on the field?
I know Skamača very well. No, I haven't spoken since the last time we celebrated the victory in the Europa League. Gjimshiti vs. Skamaça is not important, but Albania vs. Italy.
A trap from Italy after the friendly matches?
Of course we are prepared. I believe that the coach has shown us where their strength is and we must be careful. Of course we will be ready.
