"The whole of Shkodra gathered and they were looking for signatures",

Football has said goodbye to a legendary figure like Franc Beckenbauer, who passed away this Sunday. The former World Champion with Germany, as a player and coach, has left extraordinary impressions on the field and off it, and is regarded as a frank character with everyone.

The meetings with "Kaizer" have also reminded him these days of names of Albanian football who had him as a rival on the green field, but also had contact with him outside of it. One of them is Iljaz Çeço, who in a story for "Sport News" on "News 24", has shown exactly his meetings with the world football legend who passed away.

What are your impressions of such a legend?

In football, we were drawn with Germany. Before the match was played, he came to the "Dinamo" stadium and, as I said, the warm-up took place. When he came, the stadium was filled as if there was a match.

In the return games in Karlsruhe you met Beckenbauer again. What did he tell you?

Beckenbauer, after the game I met, I left to get an order from the dentist Pano Lulo. When the shops were closing, I came when I saw that people were saying "Wow, Kazieri". All the shops were open, people flocked, fans... Everyone was calling his name. He ordered me for all the tools, not thick shoes, and some other things for teeth. Then he tells me 'what if I buy him a car'. No, I told him what car. It was over, we turned and parted. Ishalla see you again he said.

He returned to Tirana but as a coach. What did you talk about?

Pano Lulo tells me that Beckenbauer has arrived, I didn't know he was a coach. He tells me, come on, Beckenbauer has arrived. You chatted to bring the things, we met at the 15th floor. Now we said that we should go to Shkodër, since the championship of Hope was being played. All of Shkodra gathered, they were looking for signatures. When the final was held, when the World Championship was held in Germany, these were also from the Federation because they were certain places. They wanted to meet the German team, those of the Federation had also taken Pano Lulo. They tell Beckenbauer that Pano Lulo is with these Albanians and then let us in. We had good relations.
