Coach Migen Memelli continues to be of the opinion that Vllaznia will strengthen in two positions until the end of the summer market. The technician has made it clear that Shkodran's focus at the moment is on finding a left defender and another attacker. But on the other hand, the number one of the red-blue bench has made it known in terms of the names targeted that it is not about the former defender of Laçi, Turkaj, nor the former striker of Partizan, Selmani. According to Memelli, these two footballers are not on Vllaznia's radar, as the Shkodran club is monitoring other players.

Memelli, how much is being worked on the market at the moment?
We are looking at two players. You saw that Dragoshi is playing on the left wing, replacing Hakaj, who is absent due to an injury that has kept him out of action for more than 10 days. We are also looking at the possibility of another striker, but we don't want to take risks with players who don't work for us. They must be able to compete for both positions and not just for numbers.

Do you have a specific name?
We are watching every day with the sports director. We are working on these players and I don't want us to rush, but make the right approaches. They are talking about Turkaj and Selmani... I can't give names, but in any case Turkaj and Selmani are not the players we are looking at. I say this with complete conviction. We need strong and potent players throughout the championship.

If the team will be with this contingent, can you cope with the objectives you have this season?
We will do our best to close these two purchases until the end of the market. Then let's see how they will adapt to the team.

Since you are looking for a striker, do you consider Hajdar a failure in this market?
No, it cannot be called a failure, but it is simply not yet adapted to the game of our team. Our championship is stronger than the Macedonian one and it will just take time.

They are also looking for a 10, which is missing in Vllaznia...
We have a lot in the squad. The Bosnian can do that role, Mala can do that, so can Çoba. As it seems, the thought remained on the 10th, but we can play with two of them. We are not convinced with what we have seen through videos all these days in those footballers who have been proposed. We will look to select the players we will need.
