The renovations of two key players in the team, such as Erlsi Frashëri and Belajdi Pusi, have satisfied the technical staff of Skënderbeu at the beginning of the year. This, also due to the very fact that the coach Ivan Gvozdenovic has persistently wanted the attitude of the players who make up the main axis.

Such is the case of Korçar's right defender, Frashëri, who talks about the current situation at Skënderbeu and the renewal of the contract, while not forgetting to comment on the club's objectives, as according to him, climbing to the elite is achievable.

Erlis, you renewed for another year and a half at Skënderbeu. Satisfied?

Yes, I am definitely pleased. A continuation where we left off and one more challenge in my career as a footballer and above all the trust given by the leaders is appreciated. It is my city where I emerged as a footballer and in such conditions, I can't help but feel satisfied and proud. It is a continuation of a challenge, as I want to reach the Super League. We deserve to be the best.

Did you have offers from other clubs during the time you were waiting for Skenderbeu?

To be honest, I have other offers from First Division clubs. But I decided to wait for Skanderbeg, because my heart told me to stay here. I knew something was coming and decided to wait. That's why I'm happy that I made this choice.

What convinced you to extend the cooperation with the club?

Nga ajo që thashë më sipër, nuk mendoj se ka nevojë të më bindë njeri që të qëndrojë në qytetin e lindjes, te klubi im dhe ekipi i zemrës. Por normalisht kur flitet për futboll, ndonjëherë janë edhe gjëra të tjera që ndikojnë në një zgjedhje. Mund të them se më shumë më bindi presidenti pas takimit që patëm, duke qenë i bindur në projektin që ka për klubin. Plus kësaj, edhe trajneri pati influencën e vet, pasi donte me çdo kusht që unë të jem pjesë e Skënderbeut në vazhdim.

Si e shihni skuadrën në vitin 2023?

Skënderbeu është ndërtuar që në fillim për të qenë në vendin e parë, por jemi të bindur dhe të vetëdijshëm se kjo arrihet me punë dhe me përkushtim të madh që të jemi në krye. Kam besim të plotë te grupi që viti 2023 do të na gjejë akoma edhe më mirë, si me lojë, ashtu edhe në renditje.

Gvozdenovic wants second place as a minimum. Is the target achievable?

The professor requires a lot of work and dedication all the time. It requires discipline, as he will only win. This is also due to the fact that he was at Skenderbeu in a golden period and has a winning mentality. He has introduced another spirit to the team and the objective is achieved only with great dedication. The coach asks us to give our hearts on the pitch and only then will we be at the top.
