Klodian Duro has analyzed our national team, after the victory over Moldova, considering the victory positive not only from the result but also from the presentation. In Panorama Sport, he spoke about the future of Albania, coach Silvinjo and the transfer to the Faroe Islands.

"Victory? This victory came at a given moment because we were playing at home with a team that had 2 points. We played a good game in a packed stadium like never before and I call this innovation because in big matches there is no need for calls, but in a match like this with a full stadium and a good game, with 3 points and a clean score it was good match

I see it in a positive sense even though in the first half we had a Moldovan defense because they played with 5-3-2 which turned into 5-4-1. We were well positioned tactically and everyone had their ideas clear. Cooperation and calmness helped us even though we were very tired, but in such matches the teams give 100% as Moldova is used to playing like this, taking points with the Czech Republic and the Faroe Islands. In the second half with some difference in the shot at the goal because in the first we had only one shot. It took Asan's quality to score.

I think the players did what was asked and everyone tried to give it on the field. The players did not leave their duties and in a tight defense and midfield spaces are not allowed. Our 3 strikers have good striking qualities in goal but they struggled. Asani tried in the first half but always had 2-3 defenders like Uzuni. He has a little cramp unlike Granada where he scores regularly. Maybe the jersey, the stadium put pressure on him, but he needs more freedom. However, we have strikers who know the goal and players who know how to circulate the ball.

Strike team? I saw it well. It is the coach who decides depending on the training but also the opponent. In these matches you have difficulties, but we settled well. Scoring in the second game shows how you are, but in my opinion it should have been earlier in the national team because he has individual qualities and helps us. We didn't go to the goal with flowing action but we scored a wonderful goal.

The change from the Duro National Team? Each national team has its own constellation and comparisons should not be made. They are the most fit players, and apart from the spirit of the competition and the group, they are what I saw in this match. Everyone was fighting to get the ball when it was lost and that was a feature.

From the gate to attack? The goal is a difficult choice, having two goalkeepers like Strakosha and Berisha. It was a difficult choice because whoever played couldn't change anything because we didn't take any risks. Berisha gave us peace while the defense played a very good game with Gjimshit and Ismjal in charge. Hysaj played on his natural wing and fit in well with the team. I was impressed by Mitaj who plays in Russia and at his age and so young, he played well and presented himself very well. Ramadan ran endlessly in the midfield and kept the balance. We also have players on the bench like Asllani or others who have skills. Bare plays well with the ball and Bajrami showed it with the second goal that also gave us security in the result. Then, the attack was known

Usu? He did a good job. It alerted the Moldovan defense and it is difficult for a footballer to break free. When he scores he finds freedom but all three do it well. Cikalleshi is known for its experience and calmness.

The lineup? It's two tight games and there could be an injury, but I think it should be the same.

Sadik? It's not easy to come back after 3 years. Sadiku has given a lot to Albania and scored the only goal in the European tournament. It is positive that Sadik has returned, but he has activated what he saw in the first matches and I think he will play in the next match.

Euro 2016? I hope it is a good omen and in the minutes he will have with the Faroe Islands he will score.

Faroe Islands? It is difficult because we play with a team that is small in name but knows how to get results. It also shows in Moldova that it was tied, has now lost at home and it is positive for us that we can beat a direct rival. The team must be calm and not in a hurry. We will have our chances but we will calmly go for the victory.

Group situation? If we were in another time, I would say that we don't know the team, but today we see all the teams and everyone in the staff deals with analysis. The team's staff has analyzed the match and the opponent, what stadium it has and what kind of fans are factors that affect the match. We have to be calmer and continue this game.

I believe that the National Team is on the right track. they played well and stayed well on the field. An avoidable goal made the difference with Poland and a draw would have been a fair result. It is these matches that give you an advantage. These matches give you peace of mind.

Harmony in the team? I think that even Reja, who is placed at the head of the team, believes and gives his best and he is the first to seek harmony and it leads to positive results. There is something evident and I think that the young age of Silvinho and Zabaleta is closer to the players and they have freer conversations. They are closer to the mind and I think Reja did the best. He had a lot of experience.

Legends in the stadium? I think that all the active footballers and the names that are called legends that have left their mark, I believe that they or we have always wanted to be near the national team. We have given support no matter how small to be a bridge with the new generations because this is the right way. for comparison I would single out that we all like to grab the top. I would say that the easiest is that we have the example of Croatia, a small Balkan state. All matches are full of excitement and emotion. There are legends on staff.

Prediction for the match? I'm not that good at predictions but we have to keep our feet on the ground. We haven't done anything. The match with Moldova is over and we must continue. I am sure that we will score and win," said Duro.
