For the captain of Albania, Berat Gjimshiti, nothing is impossible and a qualification of the national team in the 1/8 stage can happen even though we face Spain in the challenge that will be played tomorrow evening in Dusseldorf.
"I believe that all the teams are ready for this challenge tomorrow and the most important thing is that we still have the chance to pass the group and we will do our best tomorrow to try to annoy Spain. Nothing is impossible in life and I have believed that throughout my career. It will be the most difficult match of the group, but we are here to show why we are in this position. We will try to do our best," said Gjimshiti.
Asked if it will be easier for Albania to come out with 3 points from this challenge, since De La Fuente will play with the second formation, Gjimshiti said that this does not make any difference as the bench of the Iberians is similar to 11 headliners.
"I believe that it does not affect at all that the second formation is at the same level as the first formation, I believe. We know who we are facing, we know the opponents individually and we will play as if they were playing with the first team."
Gjimshiti was also asked about the disqualification of Mirlind Daku for two matches after the calls against Macedonia and UEFA's fines towards the AFL after the first two challenges. He refused to comment on the decisions of the European football government, saying that he will not talk about politics, while admitting that the national team striker made a mistake with the choir that sang along with the Red Fans after the challenge with Croatia.
"First of all, I think that for now we have to focus on tomorrow's game. Daku made a mistake and apologized and tomorrow we have to think only about the match and what awaits us. We have a very strong opponent in front of us. I am not here to talk about political issues and UEFA takes care of these things. The main reason we are here is to play the game tomorrow as we will have many fans who will follow us. That's why we have to believe in ourselves", said Gjimshiti.
