Abilaliaj: Partizan does not discuss the "Final Four", we are facing a

The loss to Elbasan has been put behind Partizan. The Reds want to return to winning ways in the championship and week 28 presents them with a difficult transfer, such as the one against Vllaznia.

On the eve of this match, coach Arbër Abilaliaj highly praised the opponent, but added that the capital's players aim to get the most out of this match.

"In the Albanian Super League, all matches are difficult, they have their own history, their own episodes. We are facing a team that is in a comfortable situation, fights for its teams, has been consistent throughout the season. We know very well our qualities and those of the team they lead, wherever we play and go, we will go to get the most."

Asked about the difficulties of this period, Abilaliaj said that Partizan is facing a tour de force.

"We are going through a tour de force considering all the difficulties that have occurred at the club. With the change of coach, the philosophy of the game, many things that need their time to be automated and to become better on the field of play, all the movement. The fact that we play away and away, so many matches, we have to travel again, we play every 3 days. And mentally it is quite a strain. In any case, we have to watch every match, every centimeter of the field in our eyes, to get the most out of wherever and with whoever we play."

Abilaliaj denies the crisis in the "bulls", while emphasizing that the "Final Four" has never been discussed.

"We always look at the glass as half full, considering that with the performance and the possibilities the team has, it can go even higher. We have never discussed the Final Four, I do not want to discuss it, regardless of how events unfolded in a singles match in Elbasan. I am extremely confident considering the way these guys work, the quality that each of them has. It is a moment like all the other teams have had, a moment to get through, a moment that makes us even stronger by being together with each other, to get through this "no" moment."

The Vllaznia-Partizani match will be played this Wednesday, starting at 16:30, at the "Loro Boriçi" stadium in Shkodra.
