Mavray loser: I left Greece because there was no mosque

Exile Mavrej could not be gathered at the first two national preliminary matches, as the Red Captain suffers the penalty of red card received at the meeting against Scotland. For footballer, missing Panucci's list causes him pain, and Albania will see him in tears.

Morrim Mavrej has talked about Telesport an exclusive interview, showing everything about the expectations he has for the national, the return of damaged players and the way Albania is expected to play.

Mavra also shows who will be the new national captain after his absence, while for the first time, the quarterback reveals the true reason to leave Greece.

Furthermore, read the full interview of red footballer.

Leave, first let's talk about publishing coach Panucci's list. How do you like the group called for the two preliminary matches?

Mavrate: I believe we have some very good and positive news at Sadik's invitation. We've all been happy because it's back in the nationals and it's healed. Normally, this gathering will also contribute to self - confidence but also to seeing his appreciation for nationals. Naser Aliji's return is something very joyous for us, or and returning Abrach to the team. So it's a list, where I'm the only one missing from those players who have been regularly with the nationals. This is a very good thing for the coach who has all the players at his disposal.

Players are having a good season with clubs, all have minutes on their feet. What does that mean for the coach?

Mavrate: This contributes in every way, I believe that even players will come with a much more positive feeling. The boys will come with confidence and will, so that's a lot to the training level. But that helps him a lot and competition, because there will be positions where the coach will find it very difficult to make the right choice. That's one thing the coach wants, as that shows the team level. I believe Coach Panucci will be very happy with this.

Panucci has gathered many defence players, 9 to total. You see this as a sign that in the next two games, we'll have a defence team?

Mavrate: It's not the first time many defenders have gathered. This is our identity, our strength, our weapon is our protection. It's been like that in years past. I believe the fight with Wales was very significant after we won a victory, but we also experienced Albania's “-year-old”. The nation with its own qualities. To be honest, we have a lot of quality in defense. In the end, we will all benefit from this situation. I believe Panucci noticed that our weapon is stronger in defense than in attack, in terms of creating cases. It's easier to give our opponent the ball, surprise him with counterattacks. So for this game, I believe it's good to have so many players available for this department.

Mind if you miss the national team right now?

Mavrate: No matter what phase the team is at, it is very frustrating to miss. Every player dreams of playing for Albania. When I'm missing, it's a very boring and normal thing that hurts most. I'll look at Albania with a tearful eye and a happy eye. Normally it is a pleasure to see the national high levels. I think the punishment is very severe, and three matches for this we've often commented, I think it's a very severe punishment, but I hope that the sentence will be reduced.

What should be Albania's goal in the first two games?

Mavrate: We have only one direction, ahead and only victory. Despite having France, which will be a very difficult opponent, in other fights we are able to surprise everyone. Our objective will always be a wonderful representation of the weapons we have. We hope to achieve any happy results with large teams. However, we will always aim for victory and for a possible score we will see at the bottom.

By the time you're gone, who's the captain's tape?

MavrateElseid Hysa has the captain's tape. No question, I'm the first then Elsie the second and Basha the third.

During this period of invitation, have you spoken to the boys, and how does the group situation come about, is there optimism?

Mavrate: If we've had contact, guys meet, talk, fight. We have no reason to be pessimistic. Okay, with Nations League we didn't succeed, there was a whole other football we did. A very different way of playing Albania, I believe we've tried to make better fights. Some people have thought that Albania is ready to develop the game, to increase the matches, to keep the ball. That's an assessment, because it's known that a team with little quality, they don't try to decorate the game or change the scheme. That's one thing we've tried to do and a good fight, but in the end the result was not pleasing to us. We closed it with a return to the Wells fight, even making a good fight. We have no reason to start this new chapter with pessimism. It's a new chance, the appetite to win is greater than pessimism from past matches.

In the meantime, how is the adventure of Mavray going after returning to Germany?

Mavrate: Yes, I returned to Germany in winter. It's an environment I know very well. The kind of game suits me a lot, and I've shown it since the first day I was who I was. I didn't leave Greece because I couldn't stand going any further, but I came because they offered me a very good chance to be a team leader. This greatly fits my qualities. The club is of very high financial potential, has “Audin” as the main sponsor and has long-term projects. The team has only been created 14 years and normally since the beginning it is very difficult to achieve immediate success. Right now they're experiencing this, they've had it and they still need my experience and I believe we've improved so far. One month cannot improve everything, but normally I am very glad that I have returned to Germany, and I am very pleased to be part of this team with many possibilities.

At Ingopold, you've been named as the team's “rescuer”, do you feel like that?

Mavrate: I feel like my rescue “”, because the team needed a man who organized things from behind. For a character respected by the boys, who also has the qualities of the game, because it's not just personality and it wins the game. And the quality of the game, from this aspect from the first day that I came here, I believe I improved the team's defence and state.

You left Greece very quickly, what didn't go to Aris?

Mavrate: I left Greece very soon because the main reason was there were no mosques to forgive. I can honestly say it, because football is not just a field game. There are many more hours that a man spends in private life, and I miss the mosque very much. There was no glass in there. I was used to this, with my brothers, things that relax me out of soccer with my activities, which are connected to my religion, my friends. I wasn't there for a break, and I didn't intend to live luxurious lives or go to the beach every day, but I had goals. These did not match at all. I didn't leave with any regrets or misunderstandings, the coach didn't like it at all, but I told him or left football. So I left them no choice.

Did you appeal the red card to FIFA? When do you return to nationals?

Mavrate: To be honest, I don't know when I'm coming back to the nationals. I hope I get back soon. At first, the sentence is issued, then complaints are filed, then negotiated and later seen. It hasn't been decided yet, so I hope I'll be back as soon as possible.
