Coach Ernest Gjoka appeared enthusiastic after being appointed to the bench of Skënderbeu. The capital technician, in his presentation, stated that a proposal from President Takaj and Skënderbeu cannot be rejected.

Gjoka emphasized that he is confident that the red and white will pass the difficult moment, while adding that if he did not believe in success, he would not have accepted.

"Our work on difficult days is measured and appreciated. It was easy that when a proposal comes from President Takaj for Skenderbeu, you cannot say no. I came with great desire and why is it not in a good situation, maybe it should be somewhere higher in the table, but these are the difficulties of our work.

At certain moments, we give the experience and experience we have and do well for a team with a history like Skënderbeu.

Of course, all coaches look for long-term projects, because when there are long-term projects, there is seriousness in the club. The main basis is the results, they keep us at work. If I did not believe that we will return to positive results, I would not have come.

I am meeting with the team today because without meeting the president and you (the media) as professionals, I cannot meet with the team. Coming to you and giving an interview, I meet the team. I have studied it, I know Skenderbeu's team very well, it has quality, but in football there are moments when we say "no", so this is the team at this moment. We all need to raise the team psychologically, understand the qualities we have and turn all this energy that is not positive into positive energy to overcome this handicap that the team has.

If there were more points, we probably wouldn't be together for the interview. I think that in football you can be scared and you can be happy. If we start to get the most of the energy and quality that the team has inside, then very soon we will get out of the problem.

If I didn't believe, I wouldn't have come today. In football you need hours of work because without hours you cannot give what you have, the philosophy you want. I believe that in two days we will change something in the balance and the psychological side of the team.

Without fans we are nothing, football is played for them. When they are happy, we are happy too. I think that they should endure and hope that they will go to the best and what they want to see the team", declared Gjoka.

The coach will make his debut on the bench of Skënderbeu against Tirana on Thursday.
