On Tuesday St. Pauli played a great game and eliminated Borussia Dortmund in the 1/8 finals of the German Cup. Leart Paqarada made a great appearance and completed the match for St. Pauline.
The Kosovar footballer played for the 44th time in a row in an official match with St. Paulin, who competes in Bundesliga 2. Paqarada's team seeks promotion to the elite, but also success in the race for the Cup.
In the beginning, the objectives were not to fight on both fronts. But St. Pauli is doing very successfully.
to win against Dortmund you need a very good day and Dortmund need to have a not very good day. Normally, it was a big surprise, but I believe it was a well-deserved victory. It is certainly one of the best victories since I have been part of the St. Paul", said Paqarada on Thursday for KOHE.
Paqarada part of St. Paulit has been since August 2020, when he was transferred from Sandhausen, the team where he spent six years.

The movement was shot. The left-back is one of the most valued players in the team that leads the second tier of German football. He contributed with three goals and six assists in the league and in the Cup.
"Normally I am very satisfied with the form I am going through. With Dortmund, I have played the 44th game in a row since the beginning. This shows the trust that the coach of the team and all the managers of the club have in me", said the 27-year-old.
The next round for Paqarada and his team will be very difficult. Friday from 18:30, St. Pauli will travel to Hamburg, a fierce rival. It is considered one of the hottest matches in German football. Hamburg also caused a surprise in the Cup by eliminating Cologne from the Bundesliga. Hamburg is in fifth place in Bundesliga 2 with 31 points.
The extreme rivalry between these two teams dates back to the 1980s. It has to do with the different ideologies of the fans.
Only two thousand fans will be allowed in the Hamburg stadium due to the preventive measures of the coronavirus.
"We have great chances to enter the Bundesliga, while we have passed another round in the German Cup. There are only eight teams left and anything can happen", said Paqarada, who added that the victory over Dortmund can help the team in its next success.
Paqarada has been regularly invited to the Representative of Kosovo for a long time. He played 21 games in total, while he also scored one goal. He played the last 45 minutes with the Kosovo jersey against Lithuania in the friendly on March 24 last year. After not being activated against Spain and Sweden, he declared that he would no longer gather as long as Bernard Challandes was the coach. After the departure of Challandes, he expressed his desire to return.

"I have always shown that I am ready. Anyone who becomes a coach. I don't know and it's not in my hands if I get an invitation for the March matches. I can only contribute on the field of play, that's where I give my best", emphasized Paqarada.
In March, Kosovo plays a friendly against Switzerland, which has already been confirmed.
