Elseid Hysaj spoke on the eve of the meeting that Albania will play with Luxembourg. If activated, the defender will have his 100th game as red and black.
“It’s been a long time since there have been no easy teams. They all play well in football, and those who don’t have names are strengthened and we have to be careful. We worked with videos. With the help of our coach, we will systematize 2-3 things that didn’t work in the last game. And we hope to score.
We are all the same on the field, 11 against 11. It is not said that Italy wins easily with Luxembourg or Albania. They have quality players and they are focused, we have to be 120% more focused than them to win the game.
The environment is very good. The coach has been here for a while. He is a positive coach who gives you good energy, he will teach us a new and more aggressive game. It is better if you enter the field. The environment is very good, the bags are all ready. The last game went badly, but I think we played a good game. We didn’t manage to score and that’s how football is. We must certainly analyze the mistakes we have made. If we know that we have also done positive things. I wish the stadium to be full, we come a few times to the national team and those times I want to see it with fans. I see red and black colors. I hope many fans will come to this match because they help us, both us and the nation.
It doesn’t take long because we are professionals. We are experienced, there are also young people. We have to acclimatize ourselves with young people. The national team is like that. We are smart and professional, we understand what the coach is looking for. The coach is understanding us too, he must know the characteristics of the players he has.
The way we played, we had a lot of chances. Mistakes in front of goal are part of the game. A striker can score from 50 meters, as well as miss 1 meter near the goal. We must be positive, with this coach we will have many chances to score, we just need the attackers to be released from the pressure they have. Broja, Mehmeti, Daku and others who will play, know that they have our support close by.
We don’t have much time. We have to balance this arrival of the new coach and the departure of the other one. We have moved from one module to another. I believe in the choice of the coach and the strength of the team. I dream of qualifying for the European Championship and winning the League of Nations.
I believe it is personal for each player. For example, it doesn’t change me if a coach says that you are focused in the game. If he will talk, he will talk. We have the ball at our feet on the field and we have to analyze the game from the inside.
I hope to play, the coach knows that. Dream for me and pride if I reach the 100th game. “Since I was little, I dreamed of playing with the National Team, not just to play 100 games,” said Hysaj.
