"I will sing both anthems", Reja: Great emotions towards Italy, I will

Albania will play two friendly matches in the coming days. The Reds host Italy at "Air Albania" (November 16), while three days later they host Armenia at the same stadium. The duel against the European champions will be very exciting for Edy Rejan.

Speaking to the press, the Italian coach also revealed the background to the friendly against Roberto Mancini's Italy, revealing what he said to president Armand Duka as soon as he found out the Blues were looking for friendly matches after failing to qualify for Qatar 2022.

"The challenge against Italy will be very exciting for me and Albania. Pleasure and pride to face my Italy. I will experience great and beautiful emotions, I will sing the two hymns. I told the president to do our best to play against them, as they are looking for a friendly after being eliminated from the World Cup. We immediately talked and it turned out well, so it doesn't get any better."

Players of the Albanian championship - "There are players from Superior who left a good impression on me, but I couldn't take them all now. If we refer to the friendlies with the players of the Albanian championship, I was afraid that they would not respond to the matches.

But they showed personality and were very good. I think we made good challenges, we didn't deserve to lose to Qatar, we weren't given a penalty. I wanted to see these four players for the March matches as well."


Four of the Superior - "Of course if I got them in this collection it means that I have faith in them. Everyone will have a chance. Everyone is busy with clubs and I will have to see the fitness. I think these four players that I got from the Albanian championship are safe to play against a team like Italy. Of course, the challenge has its own emotions."

The contract and the names - "Then we will finish these two matches and then we will have the opportunity to sit down with the president who I can say I have a very good relationship with. We will find a solution for the best of Albania."

Mancini - "Of course, I know Mancini well and I know that he will not come to Albania for a walk. You can say a lot about Italy. It's a scary team. But I care about Albania playing a good match. The result depends on the players who enter the field of play. That he will play with new players. We are almost in the same positions."

Absences - "These two matches have a lot of value. Balaj, Cikallesh, Seferin and Uzun are not allowed by the clubs to take them to the National team because of the matches, while Manaj, Strakosha, Çekiçi and Gjimshiti who have just recovered are with physical problems. I wish I had all the players available. The young people also remain to be seen", concluded Reja.
