EXCLUSIVE/ Guardian Ruçi has "locked" Skenderbeu's goal in

Goalkeeper Shkëlzen Ruçi has undoubtedly been one of the leaders of Skënderbeu this season, leading the Korça team towards the return to the elite of Albanian football. The goalkeeper from the city of Elbasan, has kept the goal intact in a total of 14 games, becoming a guarantee for the goal of Skënderbeu.

In an exclusive interview for "CNA", Ruçi shows how the "Snow Wolves", after a not very positive start, managed to react quite well under the guidance of coach Gvozdenovic, successfully achieving the objective.

You have been the undisputed starter of Skenderbeu and you have kept the goal in 14 games intact, what is the secret of your form?

In football, I don't think there is a specific secret, you have to train with passion and great desire, even as a result of work, the result comes, but the boys also have great merit. Being a very good team, doing all the work, the good comes out. So I think it is a collective success.

What was the moment of the big turning point, that you really believed that you would go to Superiore?

The turning point I think is when we started the second phase. We won match after match, entered the season and realized that we would be able to achieve the objective.

What did coach Gvozdenovic change so that the team started working better?

Gozdenovic from the first moment he became part of the group offered us peace, took the pressure off us, motivated us and respected us, which led us to where we are today. Thanks to his professionalism, we achieved the objective.

Does Ruçi have a special match that would single him out as one of the most outstanding in terms of personal performance?

To be honest, every match has been difficult. In all the matches of this year I was constant, this is also thanks to the experience that the goalkeeper gains over the years, so all the matches were special for me.

As a leader of this team, do you think Skenderbeu has the right contingent to face Superiore with these players?

Skanderbeg has the players to best cope with the Superliga. They are players who have been in the Super League for years and come back to help Skenderbeu, so with a few small interventions, he can handle the elite without a problem.

What are the plans for the future? Have you received offers from other teams, or will you continue to be part of Skenderbeu?

I have no plans yet, I am focused on declaring Skenderbeu automatically champion and then I will think about the future. My contract expires at the end of the season, then I will decide on my future. /CNA.AL
