Duke tells when to start selling tickets to challenge Czechia

Victory over Poland Football is very emotional. Those who support the team know how much emotion they have. Each match has its own characteristics. Last night was very important for the classification, for the positions we are in, for the team's continued growth, special emotion.

Did I expect such a result? ) No doubt. I expect a positive outcome of our team to any opponent, not just against Poland. But football is not easily predictable. It's not like you're expecting it and you're gonna win it. We deserve and are able to compete against any team in Europe.

What Has Changed in the National? ) The national has changed in general. Football players are on another level, even better. Play in good teams, take minutes in the teams where they are. The staff is very professional, more than ever. It works a lot. What brings results is work, work, work, and a little talent. Silvio has created a positive atmosphere on the team and throughout the Albanian football environment and beyond. And from a professional point of view, it's a very good coach, a very good motivational, a very, very good TVist. It's the coach who works the most of all the trainers Albania has ever had. Silvio is the one who comes in first and comes out last. Looks like the staff only works three days of the match, but no, it works all year long, more than 10 hours a day. They're certainly the best staff we've ever had, thanks to the one who guided them to be Silvio.

We've lost more time than Rea's coach? ) No, Edordo Ree was a very good coach, soccer field expert. Every coach has his own specifics. Edordo Reja has first joined the group in Nations League, third in World Championship qualifying. I don't call it a waste of time. What you can change most on a football team is trainers because footballers are hard to change. Football consumes the trainers. Silvio is a new energy, a good trainer and a motivator, a workman, dedicated. He loves success and hungers for success. This is important in football. The cloud was less hungry.

New team facilities The coach's credit is also selection because Yassir Asan was there and none of the trainers had preferred to select him or gather him on a national team. As Silvio approached it, he gave it a place in formation, and he rewarded it with two fantastic goals against Moldova and Poland. So did Daku, who gave us the show, Muja, and all the other footballers. The secret is good selection, group spirit and maximum recovery. The Albanian team, the boys playing with the Albanian team, seems to love Albania's lantern more than all other nationals.

When does Bro come back? ) Brooklyn has completed the recovery phase. Maybe this week he'll be in the pants with Chelsea, ready to go back to the field. He should be back in October for the Czech match. It is an added value for us, one of the best Albanian footballers. And I believe it will help us with Czechia and two other fights.

What do I think of the current National? ) I wouldn't like to make comparisons. All football players who have contributed to the national team are credited, all have put together a brick because the team doesn't grow in one day. It is everyone's contribution over the years that the team has stepped up and reached these levels. The footballers who play on the national team today are of a good level. The statistics speak for themselves. We've never had a level team like this where more than 6-7 footballers play in Serina A and don't sit in panchina, other high-level teams. From a qualitative point of view, it's the best team of all time in my opinion.

A President of a Small Federation, a Member UEFA's EC, a sound of Albanian football, how does it feel when the National and football are to be represented in Europe? I feel really good, just like when you sit with people who are not Albanians. I'm going to sit a little better at representing Albania in the international chair because I'm now going as leader of the group. Albania rarely in history, or after one or two matches has been the first in the group. It has already been more than 50% of the games, and I am now entitled to be a little more proud of what my team, country and fan has offered. And since I'm in cheerleading, I want to thank him for that fantastic atmosphere last night at Air Albania. The amazing support he has given Albania not only to Poland, but to all matches. And in Czechia there was the presence of many Albanians, it was fried with Albanian fans. I'd like to make another call, so that we can be more supportive and fan of the team in the stadium, and not have incidents like those with flares at the start of the game or clashes with Poles. We go to the stadium to celebrate, to enjoy, support the team, to achieve a positive outcome. It would be great to have respected the Polish anthem rather than whistle at it, just as in Poland they respected our anthem. This does not diminish people's support and cheerleading, but it would make perfect its support if we were more ethical and support the rules of the game. At the same time, I would like to thank all the organisers, the state police, who, with the sensitivity he made before the start of the match, with the communication he had with fans that there should be no incidents and measures he took. There's been a commitment as never before, headed by the Minister of Interior, Mr. Taulant Balla, who had a maximum commitment that this match and in its course football should not have incidents.

Did you suspect in discussions whether you were making the right choice with Silvio? Because doubts were great as his name emerged. Everyone has the right to be skeptical at first with the choice, and no doubt the greatest concern is with us.

We're from all sports features and have we had doubts? Of course. We've contacted some and decided on Silvio. What I can clearly say is that I'm glad we've made this decision, about what you've all seen and what he's created in very little time in the Albanian environment. It's very important the environment, the positive spirit. The fact that no one criticizes Silvio worries me. On occasion, he also makes mistakes and needs criticism. I don't miss critics, but Silvio must find them with candles. Level and competition in the Nationals is huge. As never before, we have another team besides those we had available against Poland, and our future was secure. Dude was a surprise to us. And Daku didn't expect that in the first minute of the game to score, but that doesn't diminish the skills of any football player that we have, which was, or that they're the potential to be part of the national team.

New Stadium? ) This is fantastic, it's beautiful, it offers very good conditions for the spectators, and that's important. It creates acoustics and support for the team, and it is difficult for Albania to have a larger stadium in the near future. I thought you'd say what we need to think about right now is where we're going to accommodate ourselves in Germany.

National games at the stadium and fans Albanians follow and support the National in the stadium. We had a full stadium in the match against Moldova, just like against Poland. Now another headache begins as to who will secure a ticket to the match against Czechia on October 12th. Albanians really support and see it as entertainment and contribution for the national team. I'd like to repeat that in the end we have to respect each other because we don't all want to have flares, not we all want to have smoke in football, but we want to see football and an ethical and educated environment.

Vlora Stadium 35 thousand countries? ) A competition has been made for a stadium project in Vlora and has won a project. I hope it starts work and is done as soon as possible. Then, the capacity for whether it should be 5,000 or 35 thousand should undergo or undergo a feasibility study rather than the physicality of a 35,000-seat stadium in Vlora. Far better is a stadium full than an unmet stadium. It's negative when a big stadium isn't filled.

Tickets with Czechia The sale of tickets with Czecha begins this week.

European finals in Germany?

I'm glad the finals are played in Germany if we're part of the European. Wherever it is, we should be part of the European. All Albanians wherever they are to enjoy another European championship. In Germany very well because we have a large Albanian community there and around Germany. We need to sit down a little bit, actually, we have three finals and we have to do good in these three finals to get to Germany. Starting with my fight with Czechia, which is a difficult fight in my view.

Chekhia is a stronger team than Poland, we've seen that we've suffered a lot in Czechia. We were fortunate to get a point and to get a point or more in Tirana, we need to concentrate to the maximum on that match. It's a very strong team, won the first match against Poland with a deep score and convincing play. He's only taken one false step of equalizing Moldova. But it's a strong team, and we have to evaluate it at most.

We are not a better team than Chechia, but maximum commitment can make us have a positive result. We have to leave the euphoria and finish the party. We'll feel it during this victory. As we remember victory with Greece 20 years ago. We have to assess fully, it's a decisive fight that can give us the ticket or not to Germany. But it is no wonder not to go to Germany if there is euphoria. I'm confident the team is so professional, so that it can understand that you're going to Germany, you have to evaluate these three finals. I also trust the environment to support the national team.
