Surprise or not, Balkans to fight for champion title

One of them is the team from Theranda, the Balkans, which has ever had the best start, reaching seven victories, two drawbacks and has suffered only two losses, so it is ranked second place on the board.

The Balkan team's well-known coach, Ismet Munishi, said he has hosted this start of his team by seeing the hard work being done in Theranda, ranging from players to club leadership.

We have, in effect, waited for the transfers we've been able to publish, the changes in the structure that we've developed within the team and the seriousness it has, the good organization that the Balkan team has. Normally, we've expected this success. There's no secret. There's no secret. It's the non-reliable work of all of us from the president to us here that we're field actors, normally, that players have the main burden of unskillable work that has been done, and the other key burden is the president of the club, who in every respect is both organisational and financial and moral support, and it's all been at the highest level of”, he said.

Munich claimed that those who call his team as a surprise are not familiar with Kosovo football, and a large number of Kosovo opinion suggests it.

Looking at the opinion of Kosovo that someone probably doesn't know football that well, somebody might even have a little bit of jealousy, I don't know what the causes are, but to see the names on our team, see the names we have on coach staff and the seriousness of the club that last year hasn't walked well, so all things have been in order, despite having no results, but the club has had no tradition on Superlig. I don't think it's a surprise, other people might be surprised, but it's their job.

Ballakan's coach, years ago, had been able to declare him the champion of Kosovo's Superleague, the Vushtrri team, where well-known Kosovo player Milot Rasica, already continuing his career at Werder Bremen, in German Bundeslinga, had also emerged.

Munich claimed that it would be a great privilege for him to repeat such success as the Balkan team, as well as for this team to come up with many talents in order to continue their career at higher levels of football and not even follow Rashi's steps.

We've made enormous success with Vushtrri. The equal that we're championed with Wushtre we've managed to produce a super player from Vushtrri at the time I was there, all of us. In fact, even here, we have some supertheents. Bland Baftiu, Arber Hoxha, Jethmir Topalli. I hope they too have Milo's destiny because they have a lot of talent and it would be a pleasure for me that these guys can play too high-level soccer. It would be equal to any success the team would have achieved if these footballers could treat them well and go to a higher level of”, Munich concluded.

The captain, Wisar Berisha, said the atmosphere at the club is at the highest possible level, and the players will enter every match with the greatest motive to achieve positive results.

The Balkans have, in effect, entered every match to show quality football, but have done well with results by seeing second place as well. We're doing pretty good. Coach's working pretty well. Players have considerable motivation to show the result” Berisha confirmed.

One of this team's talents is former Pristina player Bland Baftiu.

Baftiu for the team's good start confirmed that such a thing has been expected in view of the fact that the preparation phase for them has gone in the best possible way by not undergoing losses in any of the friendly matches they have held.

We've had a very good start of the season with the team, as well as in personal terms, and the situation on the board shows that. I hope we continue to do so. I think the transfers we made during the preparation phase we had in the friendly matches we had, we had no loss, it was probably expected to have a good start, maybe not so good, but it was, it was expected to have a good start”, Baftiu said.

We remember that the Balkans today will hold the 12th week match where Theranda hosts the Dukagjin team.

The first match between these two teams had ended with a zero-0 draw.
