Ishmael: Panucci convinced me, that's why I left Kosovo

I'm ready for the meeting with Slaven Belupos. We gotta win this fight. I'll decide if I play or not. As far as the future is concerned, I am focused on my team and collecting as many points” are initially expressed to the defender.

He also tells of his life in Split, but also of the challenge to Wales, where he comments on the challenge with Gareth Bale. The footballer talked about “Slobodnadalmacia”, where it acknowledges communication in English, but it also understands Croatia. We put Balen in his pocket and I'm happy. I played well. These are the best moments of my career. Thank God for your patience. My faith helped me to make a dedication, and I work for a difficult time where I was not even in the panquia. When Coach Vulic arrived, things changed and he trusted me. Panucci was the one who insisted on choosing Albania” is expressed 22 years old.

Nor could the question of leaving Kosovo be lacked. ““One nation, two states and very little change. Many players from Kosovo play with Albania and the opposite. However, when I left Kosovo, I talked a lot. Panucci insisted too much on convincing me. I was the captain of Kosovo's U-21 in the historic 0-0 draw against Germany, the match played in Mitrovica, but no one accounted for the representative team. Everyone has their preference and Panucci wanted me on the team. He had complete information on me. ”

The defender also speaks of his religion and the three most difficult opponents at the Croatian championship. I am a Muslim and I thank five times a day. There are no mosques in Split, but in the center of town there is a place where we can pray. Faith is something very important in my life. Give me strength and help in times of trouble. 3 The most difficult opponents have been Junior Fernandez, Mario Gavranovic and Eros Grezda”.
