The Albanian national team continues preparations for the match against Serbia, valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The two red and black footballers, Arlind Ajeti and Armando Broja, reiterated once again the message of coach Silvinjo and midfielders Shehu and Laçi, that the team will give its maximum in this important challenge.

Arlind Ajeti said that the team is prepared and focused for the match against Serbia, adding that it is just a football match.

The red and black defender emphasized that the match will be difficult both in terms of football and emotional aspects, but the team will show maximum professionalism.

He praised the opponent for the quality of the players, but expressed his confidence that Albania will be ready for any occasion and will give its maximum to keep a clean sheet.

Emotions before the match with Serbia? – Naturally, we have emotions before every match. We try to see this only as a football match, to be professionals in every aspect. The goal is to go, give our best and get the 3 points. The match will be difficult, both in football terms and emotionally, but we will be professionals.

Serbia? – I believe that Serbia, in every department, has good, high-quality footballers, even in attack. They have players like Mitrovic, who is physically very strong, and Vlahovic, who has recently played good matches with Juventus. I believe that we will analyze each player more precisely and we will be prepared for every occasion.

What should we do to avoid conceding a goal, just like we didn’t concede in “Air Albania”? – It will be more difficult there, because every away match is more difficult than at home, because they have fans there. We don’t have them, but we will give our best, as we have done in every match, and we hope we can succeed.

Do you have any advice for the attackers to get the win? – I don’t think we, the defenders, can give advice to the attackers, but I hope that we will take advantage of the opportunities we will have, that we at the back will keep the goal intact and that the attackers know what to do.

Armando Broja said that the atmosphere in the team is very good, with the players focused and united to give their best on the field.

The red and black striker emphasized that despite missing the goal, his focus remains on the team and collective success, while adding that Albania has a real chance of achieving the objective and will fight until the end for the dream of the World Cup.

Is this the right match for Broja to return to goal and get the win? – For me, the most important thing is to win the game, to get the 3 points, the result we need. Normally, I like to score goals, but the best thing is to win the game and help the team with passes, balls and goals, if I have the chance. But, the most important thing for me is to win and get the 3 points.

How is the atmosphere within the team? – As Ajeti said, this is a very important football match. We are focused and concentrated, we know it is a big match, and we are playing away. We are together, we will listen to the coach and we will do everything on the field to win.

How much do you miss the goal? – I have the ability to score goals in any position, on the left wing, right wing or in midfield, depending on how the game goes. I like to help the team and the coach talks to me often, because he tells me that we have to be focused and concentrated to take advantage of the opportunities that may arise to score and win the game. I also like to help the team with assists for goals. I miss the goal, but I don’t care about that, I want to win the game.

What are our chances of winning and how much do you believe in the dream of the World Cup? – We have the maximum chances. We have a difficult group, with England and Serbia. All teams have their chances, but we will fight until the end. We are focused on the next match and we want to win.
