Besides being one of the most beloved football players for fans, Mirlind Daku is also becoming one of Albania's leading football players.
The attacker, who was not invited from Kosovo, was invited from Sylvinho in September to Albania when he also made his debut, writes the newspaper Express.
The daku now numbers three presentations with “The Quakers”, while scoring a goal and helping the team with a assist.
He recently declared that he always believed he could reach football, but not these sizes.
Daku discovered that his father was the first person to tell him of the Albanian National invitation.
Well, I've always believed in myself, but not in these sizes. So I did not think that I would be in such great joy and such a moment so quickly. My invitation came before the Czech and Poland game. I was on the waiting list and I didn't know how things would go afterwards. I wasn't even firmly convinced that I could gather. But fate wanted me to come together and debut with Czechia. I told Dad. But I immediately took the invitation to the group at “Whapp”, where I have all my family. Very good. I was actually in front of Ruby Kazan and we were at the club hotel. I was resting after training. I lay down to sleep a little afternoon, but at that point I saw that they were making me social networking. That's where I confirmed that I had gathered and was part of the list. I was thrilled. At that moment, I didn't know how I felt. It was extraordinary. I was also commended by my club friends. But they're surprised at the results we're reaching with the National. They're going crazy... (Laughter)”, he first said in an interview for “Panorama“.
Daku debuted on September 7th, at the 1:1st draw on the trip to the Czech Republic. Debtium at “Air Albania” made it three days later, in victory 2.0 over Poland, the match in which it scored a goal.
I thought a dream was realized in Prague. I was happy, but I felt the greatest emotion against Poland in Tirana. Oh, what a thrill. The whole stadium that called your name... Uh, even now I get excited. God rewarded me with a goal, and that was incredible for me”, the gynavian attacker said.
Daku is part of the team from Russia, Rubin Kazan. Serbs and Montenegrins are also on this team. The player said he was congratulated by all for his victories and goals with Albania, including by his Serbian fellow players, for whom he said there are only professional reports with them.
I've all been wished for the good things I've done. Including Serbs. I got good words from them, too. Especially after the goal of Poland. We have a professional report. Neither they nor I have come to this club to make politics or discuss things that have nothing to do with football. I've told them since I arrived. I told them I wouldn't at any time provoke you, and neither do you. Here we are all here for a purpose: we are here to make our career. They know my attitudes and I know their attitudes, but here we are for another thing. For the sake of truth so far things have gone correctly. If anyone ever provoked me, then I know where the door is... (laugh)”, the tall attacker declared.
Among other things, the 25-year-old was asked if there was a regret from Kosovo, specifically from the Kosovo Football Federation (FFK) and its staff, when he decided to join Albania.
If they're feeling sorry, it's because they realized what they lost and what got away from their hands. But I'm glad I had this opportunity. Fanella with eagle in her chest has no pay. Even when I watch my videos, I always get excited. I have no regrets toward anyone. I'm proud to be part of Albania and not change this flag for as long as I have life. There is nothing more beautiful”, said former Hajvalia striker Llap of the Balkans.
Mirlind Daku also had a message for Albanian fans, as well as for young footballers.
“Yes, I have a message for all Albanians on all the sites: we should always be together and watch our values. Follow love and unity. I come from Kosovo and it has been, is and will be Albania. Give your Albanians courage in every situation and every moment. Don't hold a grudge, don't harbor resentment. Albanian talents wherever they are -- in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro or Diasporas -- should do their best to choose between Albania and Kosovo. You have no idea what it feels like to enter the field and hear thousands of Albanians calling your name in the choir without any interest whatsoever. No price”, Daku said.
