The coach of Partizan, Orges Shehi, spoke to the media, on the eve of the challenge with Erzeni in the championship.

Shehi stated that the Shijakas have more quality than Kukësi, who they faced in midweek.

" Victory is victory and it certainly affects morale and when it is in the wake of a good continuity. We got the maximum and second place what we wanted for a long time. Tomorrow we need another effort to close 36 weeks of the championship and start the cycle of the Final 4. We knew that this last week of the championship would be tight. We tried to make a partial rotation without breaking the structure of the team. Tomorrow we may have 3 or 4 new arrivals, but without spoiling the physiognomy of the team, Maguette, who was suspended with cards, will return.

Kukësi and Erzeni, two teams that, unfortunately, have been relegated one category below. They have different characteristics. We were on a transfer against Kukës, while tomorrow we will play at home. But this does not make it easy at all, as I think that Erzeni has more quality players than Kukësi, there are players who can very well play in any team. When dealing with quality elements you have to be careful.

For the first time, we play such a championship, where the title of champion will be decided. After 36 weeks, there comes the greatest concentration and the greatest effort that also needs a little luck. Because of this formula, they have had a pause in results and commitment as they thought that the Final 4 will be everything. We also thought that the Final 4 is and we will be there and we called it closed. But we were also penalized by the injuries that were not allocated to us. But in this important part of the championship, everyone like Cara and Taipi who have not joined the group should return to us. ", he said.

Shehi also made a comparison with the previous Skanderbeg, who dominated Albania.

" There are things that are common between the current Partizan and the golden Skanderbeg, such as the good working conditions, where nothing is missing. It has the ambition of executives who want to be on top and are willing to spend. It is common for quality players, but the difference is that we were mature players and had been playing together for years. This is now more difficult to play because of the market and offers. The conditions are, we hope to get the maximum. The first steps must be strong, you must have ambitious people, but you also need patience. ", declared Shehi.
