Challandes relates how he convinced Behram to say No Albania

Challandes has acknowledged that he has convinced Valon Behram to choose Switzerland in front of Albania. He says he fought for it.

With Valon Behram I fought to bring him to Switzerland. When I met him, I said, With Switzerland you are likely to play in the Europeans and the World, and with Albania it is very difficult. I tried to convince him, it was my job. The same is true here in Kosovo, but I talk to the players, the parents and I say I'm interested in this player and have to choose. What's important is that we just do our choice” again, says Chalandes about BlicInterview, the Periscope broadcast.

Asked whether there will be new arrivals to Kosovo from the upcoming match, Swiss said: ” I don't talk about this with journalists, because they talk a lot and I can't talk about one player or another. I observe the players that are available to Kosovo. We have good players and only if I find better, maybe we need one or two positions, but it's always a sensitive problem if they choose to play for Kosovo or for some other country”.

We have cases where players can play for two, three or four countries. If a player plays for Germany U20, U21, and if he chooses Germany is normal. I would wait for the opportunity to play with Germany. It's normal in football, that doesn't mean betrayal or rejection. Let's just wait and admit if he decides to play for us. I am not a coach who forces players to choose Kosovo, we should think about football. I recognize the situation because I have experience with the Swiss Federation”, he concluded. /Periscopi/
