Stojkovic "gets mad" at the Serbs, but applauds the Albanian fans: Go

Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic started the press conference nervously after the goalless draw against Albania. He did not take well to a question from a Serbian journalist, who told him that he did not like the game.

Among other things, he congratulated the Albanian fans and stressed that he expects the same behavior in Serbia.

Analyzing the match, Stojkovic said that his team needs to improve their execution and take advantage of scoring opportunities.

"You didn't like the game? Then find another coach! The atmosphere was fantastic. I congratulate the Albanian fans for this. I wish we had such an atmosphere too."

We need to improve our execution. We had some good chances that could have ended in the net. It was a very difficult away match, against Albania in Tirana. We controlled the game and possession of the ball, we managed to neutralize their energy and forced them to be more careful because they saw that they couldn't cope with us in that aspect. We were committed, we ran a lot and gave our best.

All the matches will be difficult. We have to show our quality. This draw in Tirana should translate into three points against Andorra. Tomorrow we will analyze the Andorra – England match. The 0:1 result surprised me, because the difference in quality is huge.

The penalty was a moment of carelessness, a gesture that just happens. Even if they had scored against us, we would have attacked with everything to win. I didn't see the penalty being taken. But if the goalkeeper continues to defend like this, we won't have any problems. He deserved to be there and play as a starter. His self-confidence is to be admired.

"People need to understand the dedication our players are showing. We need to support them to achieve the goal they are fighting for," said Stojkovic.

For Serbia, this was the first match in these qualifiers and they hold fourth place with just one point.
