"Demalia, a coward", Rudi Vata: When in 1987 they got me off the bus
Rudi Vapa and Ilir Demalia

Rudi Vata has responded again with Ilir Demalia. The long-distance debate that started after the publication of the book "My life! Football, Freedom and Paradise" by the former captain of the Albanian national team, continues regarding the authenticity of some of the facts and events that the former footballer of Sëltik Gllazgou reflects in the autobiographical book.

Vata exclusively tells Top Channel that Demalia forgets, or pretends to forget, some irrefutable truths.

"Demalia has said that she will come to Scotland for the trial... This kind of pressure was usually done by cowards who used to say "wait for me to come there and show it to you. He forgets that I have put this kind of bluff threat behind me since I was in the dormitory with Shkëndija and "ate" the coal of the students' field", says Rudi Vata, among other things.

FULL REACTION:

"First of all, this gentleman says that I confused the word "illegal" with "private" and apparently I don't have a clear definition. No, no, it's not like that. I say I learned Italian ILLEGALLY sometime from 1978 when I was 9 years old. In that period, the concept of private was not known at all. Then you had no private property, no private car, no private cattle, no private school. He even learned the foreign language in the state. Those who lived through that time know exactly what I'm talking about. And I regret that Demalia mentions the term "private" when "privacy" did not exist. Just imagine what would happen if it was found out that my family paid a priest who had spent 22 years in prison to teach us foreign languages..!!! So I don't confuse it, because we have to evaluate things according to time. Then in my judgment private was equal to illegal. Work was also in the state or wherever the state assigned. There were no self-employed. How could it be explained that the priest was paid 50 lek an hour to teach me and my brother Italian?!

Secondly, it tells me that in 1991 the regime had fallen. No sir, the regime in March 1991 had NOT fallen yet. Just a few days later, on April 2, 1991, one of the most powerful demonstrations took place in Shkodër and four young men were killed, among them Arben Broci, a friend of my brother. When the regime fell, why were there demonstrations and who killed those sons of mothers? Agreed, the regime was in its last throes, but how did we who decided to leave our homeland know how long it would last? We could not foresee it and decided to run away. I left after playing with the national team, I played the minutes on the field and decided to leave for a better life. Is it too much now to call that action an escape? Maybe it's exaggerated, but we value it like that now, because that's what we called it back then, while we were seeking political asylum.

Së treti, më thotë që prej burrnisë po ma eviton një përgjigje pa etikë. Or zotëri, a e di ku jam rritur unë apo jo? Në cilat lagje dhe çfarë kam hequr? Po ta lë mënjanë etikën dhe të flas edhe unë me gjuhën e rrugës, nuk më kthen dot më kurrë përgjigje. Por unë e kam lënë pas atë kohë, dhe atë Rudi Vata që kam qenë kur isha para 33 vitesh. Vendosa të bëhem një qytetar që shoqëria e pranon dhe e vlerëson. Shumica prej nesh kanë pasur në dorë të bëhen gangster dhe futbollistë. Përfshi edhe unë. Por unë vendosa të bëhem futbollist dhe të shkoj deri në Japoni për të qenë ky që jam sot.

Për të thënë të vërtetën ku Demalia nuk më duket njeri i keq dhe as negativ. Jo vetëm sepse më pëlqejnë ata që kanë një pasion të madh për futbollin sa ç’ka edhe ky zotëria, por edhe sepse edhe ai ka vendosur të iki dhe të bëjë një ndryshim rrënjësor në jetën e tij. Mirëpo më duket sikur disa gjëra i ka ende të parealizuara dhe ta pandryshuara.

Ngre pyetjen nëse unë ndihem i persekutuar? Shiko zotëri, unë nuk kam thënë që jam i persekutuar, por nuk mund të mohohet se kur isha 18 vjeç dhe po përgatitesha të shkoja me Vllazninë në Finlandë më 1987 për të luajtur kundër Rovaniemit, më zbritën nga autobusi në Tiranë dhe më thanë “Ti nuk vjen me ne se nuk do partia”. E bënë këtë sepse më akuzonin nga sistemi se unë po përpiqesha të arratisesha. E di gjithë Shkodra këtë punë dhe e keni gjallë Astrit Hafizin, trajnerin e Vllaznisë. Pyeteni, a zbritën Rudi Vatën nga autobusi në Tiranë më 1987? A e zbritën Faslli Fakjen në Shkodër? Më lanë aty dhe isha vetëm 18 vjeç. Janë emocione që i kam përjetuar unë, jo Demalia… Më pas, kur e panë që unë po shkoja te Dinamo, komiteti i partisë në Shkodër, me njerëzit nëpër Shkodër, arritën të bënin disa letra anonime dhe bënë një dosje të madhe duke e akuzuar babain tim si agjent i UDB. Kjo, ngaqë babai im ishte martuar me vajzën e Jelenës, e cila ishte me origjinë Jugosllave. Një marrëzi nga ato të asaj kohe. Madje kishin bërë dosje edhe për mua. Ma ka treguar Met Spahiu pas viteve 1990. Por kjo është tjetër temë. Unë dua t’i përmbahem vetëm asaj që kam thënë në libër.

Fourth, Demalia says does the priest have a name and why I don't mention it to him. Yes sir, the priest has a name and I have mentioned him in my book. I don't even mention it so that you can read it in the book and understand that I have told the truth, from my point of view of course. Oh, and something about the priest who taught me Italian. I'm telling you he was a blessing in my life. He has blessed me. I think it was a sign from God that a Catholic priest who had studied in the Vatican taught me Italian. What happened? The priest's investiture and his blessing led me to become part of the Glaswegian Guild, a club founded by an Irish Catholic priest and the club itself representing the Catholics of Scotland. I thus became part of the wildest derby for decades, which was the one between Sültik Glazgou and Glazgou Reinxhers.

I think that I achieved this because God had written it, but I also did my job well to get there. So whether I like it or not like this Tirana fan who despises Dinamo players, I am telling him that I have participated in the most important derby of humanity: Catholics against Protestants. The statue representing the discriminated Catholics of Scotland against the Protestants who are the people favored by the King and Queen".
