Skanderbeg coach: We will fight for points, I will decide the formation today

Skanderbeg's coach, Ivan Gvozdenovic

After returning to victory in the transfer match played in the middle of the week, Skenderbeu wants to continue with positive results in the following weeks. Even in the conditions when Partizan will be their opponent on the weekend.

The coach of Skenderbeu, Ivan Gvozdenovic, expressed his happiness for the return to positive results and shows such a thing, but on the other hand, he openly demands concentration and the maximum from his players.

In the press conference in front of the media, the coach of Skënderbeu talks about the team's reaction and the right continuity for the remaining matches of the championship.

"The match with Partizan: 100% is difficult. Even the first week was difficult, even week 6 against Partizan, even the Albanian championship is difficult. For me it's a very nice match because it's a derby, we're in Korça with fans and I'm sure we'll create a very nice atmosphere, and we'll prepare well to be ready for tomorrow. We will fight for points. We respect the Partizan team, it is the champion team of last year, there are many qualities in the team, but we have studied them well and we are ready for tomorrow.

As for the lineup, only Randi is out because he has 4 cards. Today we have the last training and we will see what we will do. Will we play with the same scheme or not, I will decide today. We have players ready and I will replace Rand's position. It is a loss for us because he is a starting player, but this is the situation, we will look at the positive side. Today I will try all the players on the field and then I will make a decision. Uçe is officially federated since he was not federated for Erzeni, but he was with us to see the environment and the team. I will watch Uce because he is a skillful striker, so far we have good strikers like Rashica, Nikaj, etc. but he is strong, fast and good with his head. We have strikers but Uche has other qualities, a tall striker who can hold the ball, can shoot with his head while the other 5 strikers have other qualities.

The criticism about the last match was right because we were in a difficult moment and we were not good, for me against Teuta we were weak, with Kukës we were a little better but still it was not what we wanted. The team reacted very well against Erzeni, we fixed a lot of things and I am satisfied from the psychological point of view because for me it was a small problem and we will see how we will continue. We are on the right track and we will see tomorrow how we will continue", declared Gvozdenovic.

After 6 weeks of playing, Skenderbeu is in third place with 9 points. Korçars are waiting for Partizan, the defending champion from last season, hoping for a positive result in this home match./ CNA
