Euro 2024

Sejdiu: Spain, the scariest

Gani Sejdiu

Coach Gani Sejdiu has said that the Spanish national team is the scariest in this championship, but according to him, luck for Albania will be that the Spaniards will not appear with the entire first team.

According to the coach, it is not impossible for Albania to win, but "it should be taken into account that the national teams that have secured passage are already thinking about their next opponent".

"Spain is the national team that has been the most stable, in all aspects, and the most frightening because there were two national teams ahead (Italy and Croatia) where it showed its power. There is no question that this is a gift for Albania, because despite the fact that they were also selected, this shows the quality they have. Even that part of the Spanish national team will be qualitative. However, it is not the same to have this Spain, with these big changes", said Sejdiu on Sunday in "Sporti Total" on KTV.

He emphasized that Albania should focus only on victory, as this is the only way to hope to move on.

Speaking about the Swiss national team that played against Germany, coach Gani Sejdiu said that Xherdan Shaqiri is a good option for Switzerland's coach, Murat Yakin, "in cases where a change needs to be made", although Shaqiri did not play on Sunday against Germany. .

Sejdiu said that Yakin knows when Shaqiri should be selected, adding that the 32-year-old footballer has his merits.

"Shaqiri is not at the required level, and the coach's choice is good, because today we saw a game  of Embolo, of Shaqiri at this rate, this fight, this game of duels, I don't believe I will win. It is not known, maybe even if it was Shaqiri, he would be given a position to show his values", said Sejdiu.

According to the coach, Shaqiri can be considered as an alternative in Switzerland's upcoming Euro 2024 matches.

"We have to agree that Switzerland only needs Shaqiri in form," he added.

Coach Erdin Hashani has said that with the gesture at Euro 2024, the Albanian footballer, Mirlind Daku, has harmed himself the most.

He said that it could have been a matter of euphoria, but according to Hashani, Daku has lost a great opportunity for his career.

"Daku made a mistake, he said it was euphoria, but no one can beat Albania. You can't outrun the team. It may have been euphoria in a way, but Daku must think calmly", said Hashani in "Sporti Total" on KTV.

According to the coach, through his appearance against Croatia, the 26-year-old footballer "gave good messages", but he emphasized that the penalty from UEFA will suspend him.

"Mostly he has harmed himself, individuals are forgotten, and Albania moves forward", emphasized Hashani.
