Elseid Hysaj

"It went beyond football", this is how the national team player, Elseid Hysaj, said about the furious reaction in the public regarding Nikolo Barela's lowered head in the 16th minute shot, with the ball then going into the net in the Albania-Italy match. .

Invited to the show "Champions", Hysaj has shown in detail the emotions and everything that caused the reaction of the Albanian fans towards him.

Elseid Hysaj: For me, the championship was really strange and very beautiful. I'm sorry we ended it without a win because we deserved it. I am satisfied, the people were satisfied. We had a very strong group. We all had faith that they could pass, that a miracle could happen.

As it happened to me, it could happen to someone else. I'm really calm. In my career I have had bad and very good moments. I have slowly reached every step, I am tired of reaching where I have reached and I do not believe that an episode that can happen... It went beyond football. We have all accepted the criticism. He left football. It was exaggerated a bit too much.

I immediately turned my head, when I saw that the ball was entering the net, I immediately thought that people will say that it was avoided. I was trying to get away. I was a bit like sitting down, it's an instinct. It's a second, it's instinct because I saw the ball at the last moment and put my head down. It is not possible that such an episode that happens very often in football...

They've gone too far into football, they've taken care of my hair and my appearance. I have an 8 year old son. If a child of mine was on social media, it wouldn't be pretty. I don't have a problem. I come for my country here.

I'm sorry that people think I come to the National to spend the day. I reacted because of the family. They are the first to support me, my father, son and wife. I watched it when I was on the phone with my parents and they ask me how are you.
