Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic, in a press conference after the draw with Albania (0:0), praised the Albanian national team as exceptionally good.
"Didn't you like the game? Find another coach. Very difficult game. Albania is extremely qualitative. We have shown character. We were not afraid of the atmosphere which was fantastic. I congratulate them... We came to win. The formation we started shows that we wanted to score goals. It is not easy to play in such a stadium, Albania has a good and qualitative team. A draw is more realistic. This point is sweeter for us than for them," said Stojkovic, reports "B92".
He said the environment was fantastic and that he was focused only on the game.
Even Serbia captain Aleksandar Mitrovic considered the draw to be the fairest result.
