Arbër Abilaliaj spoke at the conference before the match that Partizan will play against Kukës, tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. in transfer, valid for the 17th week of Superiore. After the questions about the next challenge, Abilaliaj also talks about the Shehi case, which was eventually released. In his words, coach Abilaliaj takes on the role of director again and signals a possible move to the red bench.

The situation before Kukes.
Everything is ok. Football players enjoy full health and the condition is optimal.

The moment to leave the ties behind?
We tried to leave the ties behind last week. With the important returns in defense, it has given us the lost stability. I am somewhat satisfied with the way the game went with the volume of the game, but if we had taken the chances we should have won the game. In every match we enter to win.

5 draws and which one has remained hostage.
The last match because it was dominated, there was no history. With 3 chances in 1, he scored a goal for us. Whereas Partizan scored only 1 goal in 12-13 cases. We should have won the game, but not everything goes. If I say pawn, he is the biggest. This one with Skanderbeg was super dominated.

Suffer the first ones.
Except for the match with Skenderbeu and Egnatia, which we have behind a full contingent, we have tried to prepare for the others in terms of the defensive side. The defense department is truncated and this has brought us instability that we have shown on the field of play. For the most part, we did not score a goal, but in these 3-4 games we were forced to return the result.

The match with Kukes you conceded 3 goals, the only one with more than 1 goal.
That match spoils our statistics, but it was also strange for its development. Undoubtedly, the opening 2-0 from the beginning had an impact. Added the oscillations we had with coach Zoran. And the goals that were conceded were not the concentration. And the last 2 goals, if I'm not mistaken, one was offside and a touch of the hand, I don't know how to explain it (laughs).

Changes, have you found stability?
The span of four games the only difference in the defensive aspect. It's not a little because it doesn't let you solve situations and build quality from below. We haven't had it. It was not for nothing that I mentioned with Skenderbeu that the return of Sota, an experienced footballer, was important. Leader in that guild. When you have one it's something. I'm glad we have a significant comeback, considering both Atanaskoski and Hadroji are back.

Difficulty in building the formation by having alternatives.
This is a nice difficulty because you can use different elements. I said that the biggest part was the 22nd match with Skenderbeu and 2/3 of the championship. It gives you the opportunity to rotate because they are playing every 4 days and it is not easy at all, especially in this period with heavy terrain and difficult fields. This is a good headache. All footballers are subject to the decisions that the technical staff can make. Important to get results.

What do you expect from Kukësi.
I expect it to be a difficult and hard-fought match. Kukesi with the team he has has done well with the strongest teams on paper. The biggest motivation compared to other teams. New team, I understand, they want to stand out. What better occasion than to face the champion team and give 200% not 100%. The fact that it can be played in bad conditions to exploit the potential of the players we have is definitely a minus for a team that needs speed and a good field. In any case, we have all the variations to express ourselves and play in any field.

Yesterday free coach Orges Shehi. It stands as an alternative.
Thank you for being free. I wish them success. I have the impression that there will be interest in the market, considering that the best coach in the Albanian league has emerged. We usually rave about the best coaches, but right now we're focused on the last 3 games left and then we'll see.

How much do you rumble?
We can also rumble Daja, since he lost. It can be alternative.

Your statement that you had contact with Shehi. Is it proof?
It could be proof, I don't know. We are people and we can ask how our friends and colleagues are doing. I don't know how many calls we make per day. And if it was used, it is the business of those who used it and how they used it. I don't care, you said everything is closed. And if it was used, there was a small difference.
