Partizan of Vllaznia ended with the victory of the reds 1-0, but the party belongs only to the Shkodrans who advance to the semi-finals after the 3-1 defeat in the first match. After the match, the president of Vllaznise, Alban Xhaferri, spoke for the microphones of Oversport.

Partizan would play everything but we managed the game even though we made a mistake in the first half. Then it became an open game and both teams had chances. The qualification pits us against the other team on the way to Vllaznia's objectives. We take the matches one by one, we made a lot of mistakes along the way with opponents who are not like Partizan of Tirana, this is our biggest challenge.

Both the Cup and the championship are important to reach the European Cups. I appreciate Tirana and Partizan, but Egnatia has also shown a lot, a very beautiful and strong championship. The cup has only one objective, victory, so the final will be the prize. Let's see if we go as there are three other very strong teams. I am satisfied with the qualification, the game had deficits, but this belongs to the technical analysis and then we will see the match against Laçi, which is the next objective.

Shkodra produces footballers, but Vllaznia in the two years since I arrived, we have used a strategy for young people to raise their level and work with the first team. This is very difficult and requires a lot of work. We have a good group. We have some deficiencies in infrastructure but we are working to do better as it is not easy to change so much in two years. When we play with the teams from the capital, I have a special feeling, I don't have a preference, but with Tirana it would be very nice.
