Tirana is set to play one of the most crucial matches of the season tomorrow at the “Air Albania” Stadium. The White and Blues will host Teuta in the capital for Matchday 35 of the championship—also the penultimate round of the Superliga.
A direct “final” for survival, with Bledi Shkëmbi addressing the media in a pre-match press conference. The head coach admitted the team is facing a very difficult period and will be without several key players.
“A tough challenge during a tough time. Unfortunately, we’re still in the same situation. We always hope to approach these matches more calmly, but here we are again, even in the penultimate week. We have absences, but we’re at a point where we can’t dwell on that—we have to give our all with the players available.
Of course, aside from the physical condition of the team, the psychological aspect is just as important in a situation like this. We speak daily with the players, and I hope at the very least they are mentally prepared to face this match.
I said it last week—we’ve built a playing style I believe in. I was pleased with how the team performed against Skënderbeu, and I’m confident that the players who take the field against Teuta will give their absolute best.”
