Two Albanian football players confess the earthquake's horror: Sleep in Cars

The “E experienced just as all the Albanian people experienced what happened on November 26th. It was very difficult times, where only human lives are thought of. I too have moved right out of the house because I could not stay in that situation. The boy was very scared and we stayed out for hours”, goalie Hoxha says first.

He also relates the situation when they were to return to the field to continue training. In our early days of training, we could not concentrate because your mind is on your family. That earthquakes continued, anxiety increased. However, watching TV, understanding the postthermic situation, and what experts say will be no more problems, we are automatically calmer and more focused on training. This is part of our lives, so we're going to continue our work”, adds the captain of “demes”, who with the Thur traveled a few days ago to Fushe-Cruje to provide aid to needy families.

We tried to be a club near the affected families. We were also in Fushsha-Cruille with Trash, as representatives of the National Team. When you touch these things closely, you realize how difficult it is. We tried to talk to different people and small children.

We saw his face laughing for a ball we gave him as a gift. I'm the father of a five-year-old boy and I understand exactly what this situation means. When you are a parent, your mind immediately reaches your child. I hope this pain will pass as soon as possible and return to normal life. Life goes on”, shows the goalkeeper, who ultimately appreciates the club for sensational initiatives.

“Partizan as a club and we as players have always been solidified, not just this time the earthquake disaster happened. Many times we have not made public the help we give to needy children. We have always tried to help families in need. This time, the affected families were very much in need, and we hope to help them through the funds we will collect with the national players. I hope we can enjoy a few families, as long as we can do this” situation, Hoxha concluded.

TRASHI LORENC

For Partizan's left-wing defender, Lawrence Trashi, what happened has been something terrible, not experienced before in his life. Be honest, I've personally experienced very bad what happened. I haven't slept in the first three or four days. We've been pushed more into cars like everyone else.

Then we thought about being with our teammates and staying in the hotel where we usually gather in Tirana. We've all been on the first floor, and being together, we had a little bit of a little bit more of this”, it's a gramchio. According to him, his visit to Fushe-Kruje greatly relieved him after all that tragedy. We've tried to help a little bit of people who are affected by the earthquake and have nowhere to sleep after that incident. We've given that help as a player and a Partizan club.

We had another obligation, along with Alban, representing the National on our visit to Fushe Kruja. We went there because most of the National players played outside, but they have made their contribution through bank accounts. We touched our situations closely and can say that it was a very serious event for each family, and I express my condolences to all families who have lost loved ones. When we went to Fushe-Cruya and met some kids, we realized the reality.

I can still see the conversations and happiness of those children when we donated National fans and football balls. We've a little bit of pain, and I'm glad to see you around. Finally, he is convinced that this situation will become a force for all. The championship's “was a fair decision, since it couldn't be talked about football under those conditions. Everything has now normalized, and I hope the team has no sort of panic or psychological trauma. We're going to turn this pain into a”. /Panorama
