Armando Broja returned to the Albanian national team after a year and a half. The Fulham striker spoke to SuperSport after the friendly with Chile, where, among other things, he said:
"What went wrong? We were a little unlucky today. To be honest, we didn't play well. Chile played harder. We are united as a team, we have two months before the European Championship. We know that they are not only friendly, we also have Sweden ahead. We know friendlies are tough. We are preparing to be with the European.
I was pleased to return after a year and a half. The fans pleased me, I was pleased with them and myself. I have recovered from a serious injury. It takes me minutes to get ready, but everything is going well for me as time goes on.
We lost today, but big things will come in the summer. I've always played without pressure, ever since I was little. It is important for me to recover well.
How did the team receive me in this gathering? Very good. I know all of them, there are also some young people. They are friendly, it is normal for the coach to see different players.
I have not played with this coach and this staff before. It's nice that we are getting along with the coach, staff and teammates. I repeat: the big things will come in the summer.
Am I 100% fit? I don't know, but I feel good physically, I feel good about my body. I am training well and feeling better and better. I am getting along with the coach and teammates. I see from the future, I want to forget the injury. I have many qualities to use in the future", emphasized the 22-year-old Albanian.
