Salih for the captain's treachery: Anyone who wants Kosovo can't even love Albania

Kosovo Football Federation Secretary-General Erol Salihu has commented on the removal of defender Ardian Ismajli from Kosovo's U-21 representative in the direction of Albania's first team.

At Express Interview in KTV, Salihu has said that no one who does not love Kosovo can love Albania. He has said that, in sports terms, there has been blackmail from Ismajli, who has sought to be on Kosovo's first team.

He who does not love Kosovo does not want Albania either. He can fool himself. Sports is blackmail. I can't guarantee the coach will play with anyone. He didn't play with his team, but we made him captain of the young. It all depends on character. Albania has warned us very well. We have very good reports with them. When we were notified that if it's the player's decision, we don't want to intervene”, he said. “He who does not love Kosovo cannot love either the Albanian national”.

According to Salih, Kosovo has urged Albania not to seduce Kosovo's youngest, especially those playing for the representative. According to him, this is hurting both teams.
