The victory over Laç, in the debut of coach Skënder Gega, has restored enthusiasm to Partizan. The Reds want another success, this time in the Cup.

The Capitals face Egnatia, in a match where spectacle is guaranteed, because two teams that are seen as contenders for the trophy face each other.

On the eve of this match, Partizan coach Skënder Gega declared that this match is like a final and his team will try to do their best.

"I have had the opportunity to work with the team for 2-3 days after the match with Laçi. The match was a lesson in itself because it is different in training, they express themselves differently, the spaces are different, the pressure is different and it is different in the game. Fortunately, we were not punished with Laçi in those bad moments of ours, but we reacted in the second half. It is a good sign for me as a coach. Tomorrow we travel to Rrogozhina, it is a champion team, it is a good team, they have invested. I believe that they are starting to create their own history as a team, as a city, as fans and we respect them. Until tomorrow we have time to discuss things in a little more detail with the team. We have also drawn some conclusions from the last match. It is a cup match but we will take everything as a final. Tomorrow is the Cup, we play half of the duel and we will play until the end, we also have the homecoming match. We go there to do our best."

Gega, among other things, revealed details from the contract, saying that he has signed with Partizan for two years.

"In Albania, curiosity is great. It was a very short time and we could not cover everything. With president Demi and the club, we agreed to sign a 2-year contract. I will be part of the Partizan project for two years and I am very happy that there is this space and I hope that things go as well as possible, for as long as possible."

Goalkeeper Alban Hoxha also appeared happy about Gega's appointment, emphasizing that it was the best choice the club could make.

"Undoubtedly, it is the best choice that the club has made, because he is the person who knows the environment and mentality of Partizan very well. I believe that he will do well. Now a new page has started for us, to forget what happened. We showed that in the match with Laçi, of course we still have to work on it. I think we are on the right track. It is a difficult match. Every match at this moment is difficult. We will try to give our maximum in this match. The first match is played in Rrogozhina and this is a good thing, because we play the return match at home. Let's give our best in the first match to make the return match easier."

The Egnatia-Partizani match will be played this Thursday evening, starting at 19:00 at the Rrogozhina Stadium.
