Albanian national team defender, Elseid Hysaj, appeared at the official press conference before the friendly match against Luxembourg, where he analyzed the team's current situation.

The footballer praised the performance in the previous match against Israel, despite the negative result, and expressed full confidence in the new coach's methods.

According to him, the team has switched to a new game module that is based on aggression and creating more chances to score in the opposing goal.

" It's been a long time since there have been easy teams. They've all started playing good football. We have to be careful. We only had one day to work. We only worked with video. I hope we score in front of goal in this match."

On the field we are all the same. We are 11 against 11. They have players who have quality. We have to be focused to get the victory. The environment is very good. The coach has little time and is positive. He is a coach who gives you good energy. He wants to teach us a new aggressive game. The environment is very good. The guys are ready. I think we did well in the last match. We should have scored. Football is like that. We have to analyze the mistakes we made. I hope the stadium has many fans.

It doesn't take long for the change. We are professional and experienced players. That's how the national team is. You have to get used to the new coach. We have to understand the choices the coach wants. I have a lot of confidence that we will achieve the game the coach wants.

The way we played, we had a lot of chances to score. We have to be positive, because with this coach I believe we will have a lot of chances to score. Our forwards need to be relieved of the pressure to score more. The forwards need to know that they have our support.

Time is not that we have much, but not little either. We have moved from one module to a new one. It is a module to create more. I believe in the choice of the coach. I believe that we will qualify for the European Championship.

"It doesn't make much difference to me if a coach talks to me a lot. If the coach is going to talk, he will talk. It would be a pride and a dream for me to reach my 100th game tomorrow. It would be a great honor and pride for me ," Hysaj declared.
