Rhea before match with Poland: LeWandowski not married

Albanian football representative Edi Reja's coach has appeared today at the press conference in front of the media, pointing to the team's situation before the crucial match with Poland.

The redberry technician stressed that Albania was deserving at this point and would try its chances to the end.

We've got this point and the idea as always at every game is to play it trying to impose the game. Now we start the offensive phase before we want the attackers to be our guardians. Our football is made from waiting for 90 minutes, we've done this and the results have come. The team has its own DNA and its game mode. Then Poland has important players, they talk about Levandovski, but it's not just him, it's a team of big football players playing high-level. We're a real team, we've become a real team. It's a big group, they played 24-25 players with presence, we always did well, even when important players were missing. Tomorrow, we must do nothing wrong, so that when we are punished, we must have very high concentrations in all situations. There's no ease in football.

We've grown a lot, we've worked on it to achieve important goals. The boys worked very well, believed in work. So now we've arrived here, we wanted to be in competition with everyone to the end, to play our best chances and so on. This is due to the boys' doing important things. Even I knew it was a difficult group that in Hungary had shown important things, Poland has important players, if we are here, it's worthwhile, it's important that to get to this point we've made results. This team can do anything, and we can lose, but we can face anyone. When the spell was cast, I said “not”, but here we are, we can get out and it's no coincidence.

I'm just saying something, if there's something going on, it's fear you can't make it. We shouldn't be afraid, we have to be ourselves, of course there's responsibility that we play at home, with a strong team ahead, but we have nothing to lose. We can achieve results. The lucky component is important in the preliminary. We in Poland were wrong, it was penalty, and the episode went against. With 3-2 they could have trouble playing well. We made mistakes too, but there are episodes in the match. Boys can play you calmly but convinced of what they do, you must have a personality above all in such fights.

We have a game that doesn't change, but it's also up to the team in front of you if you're allowed to do something or not. To me it is important not to defend, to try to take the initiative. With England, we also made an offensive choice and failed to make compliments. But you can't always wait, you have to propose games that otherwise you never succeed.

The title brick? I've put a headline in a lot of matches, even in Kazakhstan. He played as a title but he didn't have that productivity, that there's a better productivity when other teams launch, he can fully express the potential of speed, and above all he scores. It's not easy. He's got it characteristic to shoot at the gate. But I don't know if from the start when the teams are willing to give you a little physically, my previous experiences have given me that conviction. I don't know yet if it's from the beginning, that I don't know how to react. I've thought of the option as a title, but it's still for review. If I knew that Broya scored, I'd put it in the last three minutes, that there's no time to react and solve our problems.

We're here and we're gonna play odds until we've earned it. We'll give you anything. I think we have an opportunity even though we have many important shortages, high-level players. But I never complained. We have made a team and groups that have answered, all contribute, which is less and less, and have solved not a few problems. I'm looking forward to a good performance, hoping to play well and show the fact that we've grown up after the match. We've been talking about it with the friendlys playing well. Tomorrow's game takes on great importance that it's possible to let us go to playoff and we want to go all the way. We have given a dream to Albanians and why not believe to the end,

Can we play for a tie? We don't know, games play, we play to win. Even with Hungary at the end it wasn't like I looked for the draw, we changed to win the match, then it went well. You must have the conviction that someone makes the replacements not to get hurt, and I need the replacements to win. All the guys have their characteristics, my job is to take advantage of these characteristics, and if the boys believe, they can move forward, you have to try to win the games.

It's a very important game, not a final. I didn't decide the formation, there were players who had physical problems. I'll make my evaluations, of course playing every three days is very difficult. I've got to do a lot of evaluations, and in terms of character, and when I was a football player, I just wanted to play soccer. I have my doubts about the title. I want to give more information to football players about how they handle the game. It's not over, there's other fights.

Plan for Levandovski? Levandovski is not taken. We're gonna try to keep all the defense players from letting the balls go towards him. We're gonna wait for an aggressive Poland, which is how I know Coach Souza. The Polish team has very quality players and has the power to launch the game in the attack. It's going to be a very high fight level”, Reja told reporters.
