Edy Reja, the coach of the Albanian national team, in an interview for 'Il Messaggero', spoke about the first final of the Conference League, which will take place on May 25 in Tirana at "Air Albania", a choice which produced a lot debate in the media, often being unjustly prejudiced:
"The truth is that no one expected such a boom for this tournament. UEFA had thought, conceived, as an experimental tournament but in fact the opposite is happening.
In recent years, finals have been held in Tallinn and Belfast, I do not find it scandalous to organize such a final in Tirana, the capital of Albania.
'Arena' is a jewel, it has perfect visibility, but the logistical problem exists. Many hotels are exhausted, residents rent out their homes, but these things happen everywhere. "There is a lot of enthusiasm, I will cheer for Roma, the yellow-red Mourinho has been rejuvenated", said among others Edy Reja.
