Manaj: We are satisfied with our performance, to Spain to write history

Albanian National Striker Rey Manaj appeared this Thursday at a media conference and stopped at the draw with Croatia. Red football player also spoke of the National performance so far at the European Championship and Monday's match to Spain.

How did you experience the match with Croatia? What motivates you? We could have got three points. We got two goals in four minutes, second goal could be foul. It would be very important to get three points, now we have to win with Spain to cross the group. We expect today's match, if Spain wins today we may have more chances. These three days we will prepare to make history and take three points against Spain.

Why do we have goals in a few minutes? ) In the match with Italy, the goal we did so quickly made us sit down a lot and Italy knows it has quality. The first part of the match with Croatia has been one of the best we have done in recent years. We lost our first goal, we were a few minutes from the end. The team loved winning. Golly destabilised us, but we had the strength to make Klaus the draw goal.

Goal with the National? ) Like any attacker, the goal is the most important thing. But here we are National, no matter who makes the goal, it is important that the team move forward.

What must we do to stop Spain? ) It's a big team. If Italy is defeated today, we have hope. They have quality players and they're big names. We should do our fight, we shouldn't see other players, give 100% from the first minute to the end.

The match with Croatia, satisfied with the draw? When the match ended, we were happy with the draw, as we scored 95th minute. But the main thing for all of us was to win, for the first half and the 20 minutes we developed. But when you play at such high levels anything can happen. We've come to Dortmund happy with the draw.

Goal to Spain? ) I hope anyone does the goal, the important thing is that we win Spain and we can qualify.

The atmosphere after the draw?The team is very motivated, all players playing in the last game will be focused 100% because we saw that in two minutes, one player can be introduced in an 85th minute, change the game and make a goal. Emotions are great because it's the European championship. These matches are followed by Albania and the world. The most important thing is to get into the focused field because we can achieve victory over Spain and cross the group.

Are we ready for the third match in victory? We all want victory and hope.

Could we better manage the match with Croatia? ) In the second part towards Croatia, they too began attacking. In the first half, they had no space after we developed a very good first part. When you play at these levels, you'll be facing teams that have quality players. Their changes cut us up. We could handle the second part better, but we're happy with the draw.

The lack of goals from the strikers? It's not about luck, the three players who have scored have made fine goals and deciziv goals. We hope that to Spain it will be a goal. It's about winning.

Should we be more careful in some cases with Italy and Croatia to get positive results? That's all we wanted, but there's a lot of things in the game. There are many factors. It's not easy to catch up with the counterattack because in 45 minutes we ran into the diplomatic phase and then when you have the ball you don't have the strength to catch a counterattack.

City's Gvardiool Duel, do you believe it will be easier with Spain to find the goal? Spain has good protector. We're a team and for me it's important that the team move forward rather than the individual.

How Should We Play Spain? ) To Spain, we need to get even stronger in the field than we do in Croatia. After the match with Croatia played well in the first part and in the second faction, we had a decline. We should be focused on the match with Spain being one of the best teams in the world. We have to give 100% from the first minute to the 95th.
