Ismajli "shoots" Silvinjon: That football doesn't exist

National team defender Ardian Ismajli expressed optimism about the match against Finland, emphasizing that the national team is well prepared, aims for first place, and the support of the fans at "Air Albania" will be an important factor.

Ismajli emphasized that the Red and Blacks are obliged to take first place in the group.

"We are well prepared, we know the importance of the match. Naturally, we also have an obligation for first place. We have to prove it on the field. The first match in Finland, except for the red card, we have had good matches in recent years. These episodes take their toll and with that episode the match somehow disappeared. Everything depends on us and we hope to keep it the way we started."

The defender emphasizes that fouls near the goal should be avoided.

"Two standard shots, two goals. Sometimes fate turns its back on you. I didn't say that we didn't have a good performance in that match. Even with one less player, fate still didn't... We have to be careful, we have to identify fouls near the goal, then it also depends on the situation. And the situation does the job for fouls," said Ismajli.

The national team player said that they have no stress when playing in front of the fans because they are number 12 for them.

"I don't believe that the boys have panic or stress when they play in front of our fans. They are number 12 for us. Every time we have been here, we have had good performances. The fans are positive and when we were in a draw with San Marino they supported us. The most important thing is the victory, it closes all the problems. The boys have a special feeling when they play in Air Albania, because we have had fantastic results here," Ismajli emphasized.

He also focused on the staff and coach, saying they have done a very good job.

"Mistakes happen. There is no football without mistakes, but we hope to highlight them as much as possible, because they are costing us sometimes. We need to be clearer in our ideas. The coach and staff have done a very good job. They have analyzed and shown us in training. We hope to do what the coach wants and get results ," said the national team defender.

Ismajli also showed the difference between the football of former national team coach Silvinjo and that of Maran.

"The best defense is attack. Silvinjo played defensive and static football. That football does not exist. Modern football is what coach Maran is playing and it helps us more if we press, because we can take the opponent by surprise. We can play all the time and we have no problem. The coach has seen our positive things. Each of us has our own advantages, but wearing the national team jersey is a great responsibility. We wear it with pride and we have not hesitated to come and do our job for a nation. There are no easy matches. These teams are lower in the table, but every national team is playing football. The fans are not lacking. Our strongest point is Air Albania. Even if the result is not what we expect, the fans will support us ", said Ismajli.
