Kosovo U21 footballers sang in the locker room to the selector Afrim Tovërlani, after the point won in Chemnitz against Germany U21.
But coach Tovërlani says that the credit for the big point gained in the difficult trip to Germany belongs to the players.
Kosovo U21 on Friday drew without goals with Hopes of Germany, in the match that has met Group D of the qualifications for "Euro 2025".

"I thank the players who are the most deserving for the commitment, sweat and effort they have given. I know that many may think otherwise, but it is not easy to face against Germany, for which we know the conditions, the level of players who appear in Bundesliga 1 and Bundesliga 2. The result achieved on the field was the merit of the footballers, for which the I congratulate. This match belongs to the past, we have to prepare for other opponents. I also thank my colleagues who are making a great contribution", said Tovërlani for KOHE on Tuesday.
The former coach of many Kosovar teams says that Germany already belongs to the past.
He expects the players to give their best in the remaining matches.
"In every next match we have to enter with all the possibilities we have. I don't think about the last game, I only think about the next game. The focus will be on the next match", added Tovërlani.
