The coach of the Albanian National Team, Edoardo Reja, speaking on the show "Skaner", touched on several topics. The Italian said that the team follows him and the losses have come from individual mistakes.
"The team did not follow the coach? The team follows me. During the week we work very well. If we talk about losses, individual problems come to the fore. We lose matches unbelievably. If we want to go to the European, we must not make these mistakes.
The scheme? I changed the scheme because I had problems in defense. I wanted to give Asllan and Bajram the opportunity to play, like at Empoli. If we could go back in time, I would play with 3-5-2″.
Reja was also asked about Armando Broja, for whom he said that he cannot play a full match, due to the few minutes in the Chelsea team. Regarding the attacker, Reja said that sometimes it turns on and sometimes it turns off.
"There is no history between me and Broja. It is you who give certain overestimates to players. Broja does play for Chelsea, but he plays parts of the game, 20 or 30 minutes, and he actually has to find his condition. The same for Asllan, who was only partially activated at Inter. The discussion about Broja is this, he is a young 20-year-old boy, he has experience in England, where he did well, but he does not have the pace of the race. Plays 20-30 minutes, never does 90 minutes. No match has been started from the beginning. Broja is like a light, sometimes it turns on and sometimes it goes out. I never have a preference, I consider it like everyone else in the team. Broja has one more step, because physically when he starts on the field, no one stops him.
In my experience, I tried to bring young people to the team, including here. They are players who need to mature. Young people should be more humble and give their best."
The red and black technician stated that he has a very good relationship with the president of the AFL, Armand Duka, and said that regardless of what happens in the future, respect will remain.
"Relations with the Duke? We have a very good relationship with the president. The president wants the results and if these are not enough, he will make another choice, he will change the coach. Regardless of everything, respect will remain.
Let's wait for the end, there is time until March to talk about other coaches. Let the coach do his job and then watch. I was good there, I have considerations from people. They show respect for me. If these considerations were missing, I would not be in Albania".
