Altin Rraklli: The cloud must go away, the cycle is over. Where is Broja wrong?
Altin Rraklli and Edi Reja

Altin Rraklli spoke again for "Sport Ekspres" after the match between Israel and Albania, which ended in 2-1. The legend of the national team predicted Myrto Uzun's goal, although it was not a happy ending. But Rraklli was one of the only voices that always "took the ear" of Armando Broja, that he should work more in the group and change from Chelsea to the National Team.

How do you rate Albania's performance in the loss to Israel?

We have done volume of work and created cases. What we feared happened, we didn't take our chances. We were very careless in defense, definitely the absence of Kumbulla and Gjimshiti created a space at the back. This gave Israel the opportunity to infiltrate us. The goals came from our carelessness, it's not like they caught us by surprise. I said Uzu and before he scored a goal, I didn't say it in vain, I was sure. A player when he has progressed, gains a lot of confidence. He has the potential and that's why he had a high chance of scoring. I have nothing to do with either Cikallesh or Broja, but Uzuni would serve Albania a lot from the first minute.

The two missed chances by Armando Broja. Were they more a reflection of the minutes at Chelsea or the fact that he plays without any pressure even with the national team jersey, without having any other experience?

Broja is a player with tremendous potential. If he had used that potential, not been selfish and worked for the team, we would have won. In the first case he was unlucky, the goalkeeper caught the ball by accident. In the second case it had to pass for the teammate. It should be shown more collectively than what it is. The national team jersey is heavy, I say from experience. I played in the Bundesliga, I played against Bayern Munich and Dortmund, I scored. When I came to the National team, I had incredible emotion when I sang the national anthem. If players today don't feel that, then there is something wrong. Then it seems to the National team as a club, this should not happen.

Here we start from Broja's statement before the match, which stated that he does not feel pressure because he plays "for fun"...

If I say that I play for fun with the national team, it is not correct, the national team is pride, it is an emblem. In the club you secure your life because you are paid, with the National team you don't secure your life, but the prestige and pride of your life. This is what needs to be understood.

Elseid Hysaj said that he will analyze himself for the mistakes he has made. They are so repetitive and he did not hesitate to point the finger at the young players for not feeling the jersey. How do you comment on this issue?

The idea is that Hysaj and every other player should be measured by performance. If you miss it, then you go to the bench and maybe not get called up at all. Reja comes from Italy and Hysaj plays in Serie A, so it is not easy for him to leave him on the bench, despite the mistakes he makes. But when Hysaj keeps making mistakes, making mistakes on both sides, something is wrong. Then, as the captain of the team, he made a big mistake. You don't criticize your teammates in public, that's the staff's job. Not to go out in public and criticize. Not normal for a captain.

Among the many stars of the National Team, the best was Series C Verse. Does this have a meaning?

It's all based on your form, it doesn't matter where you play. Even in my time, there were players who came from the 3rd category, they played a match very well and then lost further back. For me, the loss was more affected by the absence of Gjimshiti and Kumbulla. Never before have we conceded such simple goals in such a crucial match.

How do you expect Reja's future in the National Team, seeing that not all players sweated the shirt?

He himself has to leave, he finished the cycle. The team is no longer responding, it should go away on its own. If it doesn't go away, the Federation must intervene. I would also be for an Albanian coach who has been successful. We are not weaker than foreign coaches. We have the idea that only foreigners will save us. The cycle of Reja is over. Even if I were in his place, I would run away myself.
