The defender of the national team, Mario Mitaj, called the criticism of Elseid Hysaj excessive, after the match with Italy. According to him, Shkodran has given his soul for the red and black jersey.
At the press conference, Mitaj also spoke about the match with Croatia, where he hopes for a positive result.

"I believe that in general everyone tries to fight for the National Team, we have Broja and Asan who has a good shot, we are a small country but we must try to send the National Team as high as possible, but I believe Broja can do more damage . We have forgotten the upset with Italy that we didn't get the point we wanted, we will go in with the same personality and play a better game to get points. When I enter the field, I have no emotions and I try to enjoy it, especially when we play with about 60 thousand Albanian fans, I had good emotions. In a match you always have to make a mistake because they also make the result. We do not underestimate the opponents, as everyone has said it is the group of death, we have to prepare and get a good result. In the second half, my teammates supplied me with more passes, I'm a player who likes to keep the ball at my feet.

To be honest, I have not thought about my future, but I am focused on the National Team. Everyone was surprised that the goal was scored so quickly and we got a little excited and went back on defense. It's not like the coach has told us a lot, we need to improve our standard shots even though we've worked hard. It can be a little bit my fault and Sefer's fault, the player's cross should not have been done, it is something we have to improve. I believe so, it depends on the fans whether they will come to the stadium. We are preparing and have analyzed Croatia well, now we are only interested in them and if we get the best results.

Criticism against Hysaj? It's not nice to criticize a player who has given so much for the National Team, he gave his soul for me, it's not a nice thing, but each person makes his own criticism. We know the qualities that Croatia has, today is the training that we need to analyze more tactically and how we will enter the field.

All the guilds of Croatia are strong. They are a team that has good teams, the atmosphere does not change, it is very good, we are very harmonious, we are in a European and we should enjoy it. We respected the opponent, we should have dealt more with Italy, with Croatia we should enter with a different mentality. I don't think the psychological burden played a role, they were simply better than us and won the match", concluded Mitaj.
