Coach Edi Reja pointed the finger out of motivation after the goalless draw against Estonia. Speaking to SuperSport, the Italian coach of the Red and Blacks said that June is a difficult month for him, as he said that the lack of fans on the stadium steps also diminished the motivation.

Why does the team suffer so much to hit the gate and score?

It's a lifetime of talking about these situations, but in this period ending the championship, it's hard to find incentives. They were all tired and with all due respect to the boys, who worked well and trained, but it was hard to give their best. I have tried some new players and seen some positive things, to be confident about the future. It looked like a match played in mid-August and the difficulties in such situations are known. Such matches do not matter in many respects, as we must also take into account the fact that there were no fans and this further diminishes the motivation of the players.

What did you like and what did you not like about the players and the tests you did today?

I especially do not like the fact that we go too little to the finish line and fail to give the right crosses, to endanger the gate. We had worked hard, but we do not have the right players to do that, as we need technical players, who have the quality to get the final and win the duels one on one. I liked Bajrami and Muçolli, who are young and showed personality and quality. Mersinaj and Çokaj have also done well, but they are players of perspective. We are following other footballers across Europe, to find 2-3 talented, to solve this problem that we said today.

If we do not have the right players for this type of scheme, why not try something else?

We can even change and even today we moved something, activating Uzun together with Broja and Vrion. I do not think that by changing the scheme, we can do much, but we play this way to have more security. We have to do something more from midfield and above, as we lack players who can solve our game, especially in challenges like this against Estonia, where the opponent is defended with great strength. We are a good team, but only if we play as a group and sacrifice. We can play as equals with opponents like Poland, Hungary etc., but we have to create a solid group, with players who love the jersey and sacrifice for it. When I came I talked to some of the old players, who told me that with the scheme with four defenders, we have no security. As a coach I have applied other schemes,
