Kumbulla: We have difficult opponents, but we only aim for victories

Marash Kumbulla

During the press conference, Marash Kumbulla said that the next two opponents are very difficult, but as always, the National Team will enter the field to win.

The red and black center back also commented on the good form he is having with the Espanyol team as well as the great competition in the back department in the National Team.

The injury period, how difficult was it? - That period was very bad for me. A year and a half and after the injury the following months were not very easy. Now I believe that I developed a very good preparatory phase, I moved to Espanyol and now I am playing all the matches. Physically I feel very good and I am very happy for this moment.

You are going through a very good form together with Ismajli, how much guarantee does this duo give in the next defensive matches? - I give guarantees, but it is not only my and Ismajl's work, but the whole team's. We have a lot of competition, we are very good defenders, not only in the center, but also on the wing. The coach decides and whoever plays will do well.

How many points do you think the National Team is satisfied with in these two matches? - We will enter the field as always to win both games. Now we only think about the Czech Republic, it is a very physical and strong team in duels, now we only think about them and then we will see about Georgia.

After the goal against Espanyol, do we expect a goal with red and black colors? - I am also waiting for it, as there are many matches without scoring a goal in the national team. I really want him to score.

Is there teasing with humorous notes between you, Ismajli and Ajet? - There is no harassment, the National team is first. If the team wins the others come back. It is normal that all players want to play, but we know that there is a lot of competition in the National Team. They are all very good players, let's see the coach's solutions.

The difference between the Spanish and Italian championships? – The championship in Spain is different from Italy. It is more tactical, the game is open with counterattacks and duels. I have adapted very well in this championship.

You were not in the two matches with the Czech Republic in the European qualifiers, now you are more motivated for the victory? - Yes, of course. I watched both matches from home. As I said before, it will be a very difficult match with the Czech Republic, we are very motivated, and so is the opposing team. We expect a very difficult match ./CNA
