The Albanian national football team has started gathering at the "House of Football" on the eve of this month's League of Nations matches.

Speaking at the media conference, the defender of the national team, Arlind Ajeti, said that the absence of the captain Berat Gjimshiti will be greatly felt in the red and black team.

Furthermore, he emphasized that they are ready to give their best and aim for victories over the Czech Republic and Georgia.

The state of the team and what do we aim for in these two matches? - It is too early to talk about the team, as not everyone has arrived yet, I know the qualities of the players and the team and we can succeed against anyone, but it will not be easy because we know the qualities of the Czech Republic and Georgia, which there are strong and very fast players.

Have you done the analysis of the Czech Republic? - We haven't done it yet because not all the players have arrived yet, but with the staff and coaches we have, we will prepare in the best way. Like I said, I'm confident we'll get those three points.

After the European, how does the Turkish Super League look to you now? - I think it's good, but it can't be compared to the matches in the European and the national team matches, as they are always more special.

Traveling with the national team, what would you do differently? - I don't know, every time I have come to the National Team I have come to play with my heart and soul for this shirt. I wish I could have done more, but I am satisfied so far.

Which match is more important? - I believe that every match will be decisive, let's watch the first match to get a good result and then continue with Georgia.

How difficult is it for the National Team without Gjimshiti and what would be the solution in defense? - Gjimshiti will be a big miss for us as a player and as a person, as he always has good words for everyone and the young people. I don't know what to say about the formation, it is decided by the coach and I believe that whoever will play will give their best and I hope we win.

The European, the impact on these matches? - I believe that it affects everyone a lot because it is an experience that everyone dreams of, we were lucky to be in the European, but normally these are different and I hope we win.

What should Albania do to win? - We have the qualities and we must give the maximum with our qualities to use them and I hope we will succeed.

Ismajli, Kumbulla, Ajeti, will there be teasing between you about who will play? - There won't be because we are all good, we all started the season well. As long as we are in shape there will always be competition.

Albania will face the Czech Republic on October 11, while on October 14 it will face Georgia, with both matches that the Reds and Blacks will play on transfer. /CNA
