Panucci addresses reporters: Always refer to Kosovo

Albania's Italian technician, Christian Panucci, appeared at the press conference accompanied by team captain Mergim Mavray, while talking about the importance of this meeting, acknowledging he expects the team to receive a positive result.

We're talking about defense, but we've only scored one goal in this edition. How did Panucci plan to resolve “player” with the attack?

It's clear tomorrow we have to go for a goal. We have created many cases in Israel, but there is a lack of finalisation. We've prepared some tactical movements tomorrow and I hope they're more concrete in front of the gate.

Will Grezda and Nance be ready for tomorrow?

Grezda has been trained separately all week and has some problems. He wanted to play, but only tomorrow we'll decide.

In 2018 we've had the worst performance in the last 10 years. What does the coach think about this situation?

You always refer to Kosovo and Ukraine, who have been friendly. However, we know that the results are important and that we have won only the face of Israel. We could also have won Israel if we had more luck and concentration.

Duke said these meetings will decide your fate. Does this situation put you under pressure?

The Duke didn't say it, but he said it was “I do the work with a lot of passion and a lot of seriousness, so “Panorama Sport” does not put me under any pressure at all.

How can you win the game tomorrow?

Making goals more than opponent.

You said the team didn't communicate. Did you work in this direction?

It's true that the team communicates a little bit in the field and that's why even the players are conscious I hope tomorrow I see players who talk seriously to each other, because it's very important for the outcome.

How did you think you could replace Basha and Hysa?

Two more football players. You'll see the formation tomorrow, hoping I'm not wrong.

See, lucky, stadium “Loro Borici”?

I have lost against Italy here, but I hope we don't have the same fate tomorrow.
