Tirana and Partizan are only one day away from the confrontation between them. The next day in "Air Albania" they will be challenged for the accounts of the 33rd week of the championship that in the "drink" are also the fates of the championship title.

On the eve of this challenge, Orges Shehi was present at the press conference. The coach of Bardhebluve admitted that all the pressure has fallen on them, but in the derby, according to him, the episodes have always decided.

The helmsman of the reigning champions also spoke about the absences, while underlining that he wants the players who will go down on the playing field to replace them to give their best. Shehi remains stoic, as according to him this match does not decide the title.

Absences? It is known that absences are present and those players are injured. The rest is ready. And Kristali (Abazaj) is able to be ready for the team tomorrow. The absences are important, there are players, one of whom is the team's scorer, others are very important parts like Hila, like Behiratçe. But these are things that happen and we can never mourn the absences. We will field players who are ready to replace them and play their chance.

Sign for the draw? I don't know if it's an advantage or a disadvantage. The teams have their own specificity, the ranking, they have the complete group or not, they have the psychological side. I think that after this there are three more important matches for the final objective. We are very pleased to come to this moment of the championship in these positions. In the first place and in the final of the Cup. But there are very few days and these days are the ones that give the fruits of the sweat you have poured throughout the year. I hope that we will be at our best, because being at our best, then the result is closer, but that will also require a bit of luck, which I hope we will have tomorrow.

I would sign for my players to give their best. To get into the field for what they are doing. And despite the absence, I would look for a team that has courage, has character, that enters the field to give its best and to enjoy the moment. This is to reduce the pressure, as pressure is present in every derby, but it is good who manages it. If you have the emotional side in high doses, then you get damaged and you don't give your best. I would ask this of the players tomorrow in the dressing room as well. That the less pressure and the more proud and courageous for what they are doing.

Does the win decide the title? There are three more matches. This is a very important decisive match, but not final. Each team goes to the objective. In these three games where every team is within the objectives, it will be difficult. I don't think it's decisive tomorrow who wins to decide the title. Derby. I would say derby. Who has tried the derby here, nothing comes into it, neither the ranking, nor the objectives, but the focus and importance is only on this match, because we know that the derby has very little effective play, it is characterized by grit, by the sports fight, it is decided by the episodes. I hope that tomorrow we will be attentive and careful. Let's appreciate the episodes, because in the derby, the episodes decide a lot about the match

Colella in the stadium? It is an action of the coach of Partizan. Of course, maybe there is enough time knowing that most of them have played before us, but it's his choice and it's a question you can ask him. It's not that we have anything to hide, because since TV broadcasts our matches, both live and rebroadcast, by having programs you can get information about the opponent. So we have had ourselves as a staff not to see the opponent's matches, but taking into account what you said, we have focused more information on the opposing team.

Return to Air Albania? If we open the statistics, our fate was "Elbasan Arena". I think that the derby is a match to be played in a facility like "Air Albania". I hope there will be many fans tomorrow. I think that the "Air Albania" stadium is suitable for the derby.
