Italy is one of our National rivals in “2024”, and this has increased media interest “axure”.
Albanian Football Federation President Armand Duka has extended an interview for “La Politica gets laid” and the focus was on confronting European champions in power, the European in itself, and then on changes made to Albania in infrastructure.
For us it's a great success to be in “Euro2024”. We did very well in qualifying, we went out first in the group. The lot now pitted us against Spain, Croatia and Italy. We really didn't want to play against Italy, because as you said you and Italy have good reports in football, not just politics. Many young Albanians play in Italy, even if you do not know how many Albanian children play as in Albania”, President Duka, who then continued to talk about the duel with Italy, is first expressed.
We have good relations, but we'll be opposed, even in 90 minutes. We'll try our best against European champions. We know the power of Italy, the players, the team, but we and we came here without giving us anything. We have won our group and we will do our best to handle this fight”, the head of the FSHF added.
Asked whether facing Italy is like a World Final for Albania, Duka added: “All matches in the European world are difficult. Our players have to play this game like everyone else, just like Poland and Czechia in qualifying. We have to play confronting Italy as a normal match. Of course, it is an important fight, since if we do good, we can move forward in the European world.
If not, we should watch the matches with Croatia and Spain. Playing in front of European champions is a beautiful thing. The only problem is that all Albanians want tickets for that match. I hope fans create a positive atmosphere, as we did in the friendly we developed Genoa”.
Yeah. LITHICINE WRITER IN STADIUM The Albanian prime minister is sure to come. I don't think there's gonna be any politician missing in the match against Italy, everybody's coming. Prime Minister Rama is a football fan, a fan of the Nationals and will certainly be at the stadium in this match. Mellon doesn't know, I hope he'll be here”
RE FITORES CETA If you beat Italy, it's something very difficult, very difficult, but we'll try to do it. We play it like a normal fight. If we play without pressure, it'll be easier for us. Italy is a team of experience, with good players, are the champions in power of Europe, but they suffered a little in the qualifying”.
INV ESTSURES WRITER IN THE SHOW “Infrastructure in Albania has changed greatly in recent years. We have the stadium in Tirana, where you have seen the Conference League final. We've built a training center for the National, which has all the conditions, not as big as Koverchian, but it's all in for national teams. We have rebuilt four more stadiums, not just those in Tirana. We are currently selected to host the European Championship for Under-17 in 2025. We've used all resources, with the help of the government and the FIFA and UEFA projects. We've taken important steps before”
GRU PI IN EUROPEAN We have Europe's champions, world champions and World Cup finalist in the group. They're strong teams, of the strongest in Europe. In Europe it's hard to find weak teams. They're all strong teams. We can be one of the weakest teams, we're in the Europeans for the second time. Like I said at the outset, we were never given anything either. We're here with the players' work, with the results taken in the group. We'll try our best. We're gonna try to cross the group, if we don't make it, we're gonna be happy with this <x1.
PRESHICE FOR EUROPANIA <x0-European wins Albania (laugh). If that happens, all of Albania will come to Germany to see the final. Now seriously speaking, the strongest teams are those of the first vase, England, France, Portugal. There are, however, different specifics on such tours and is never known what can happen. Italy can win it, as it did in 2021. To me the favourites are France, England and Italy”, Duka concluded the interview.
