Partizani and Tirana warm up their engines before the derby. In anticipation of the capital's super challenge, the two teams will play the matches of the 23rd week of the Superiore. The Red Bulls face a difficult transfer with Laçi, who are looking to move away from the relegation zone, writes A2 CNN.
"We have a very difficult match against Laç. I respect them because they are a very good team, I like some of the players they have. But of course we think about ourselves. We have some players with health problems, you know that the seasonal virus is circulating. We will have a medical report to assess who will be ready. The match becomes even more special, because with Laç we will play in the Cup in three days, and then we have the derby. In the January transfer window, we lost some quality players and we made some approaches. I may have many wishes, but I accept reality as it is", said Aleksandar Veselinović.
Tirana, on the other hand, is engaged against Elbasan. After the victory in the return of coach Shkëmbi, not even the fact that they play their home games at Niko Dovana in Durrës is an excuse.
"Victory always gives you satisfaction. A satisfaction that doesn't last long. The next match is much more important than the last one. We play against a team that has had major objectives this year, despite not having a good moment. We know it will be difficult. Of course, a positive result makes us feel better, but we know very well that we need to have continuity. I would like to play at "Air Albania", there is no question. We are more concerned with the team doing its best, wherever we can play, let's not look for excuses. I don't have my eyes on the derby, I have my eyes on the match with Elbasan, because it is very important. For the situation we are in, it is normal, for this jersey you definitely have to have pressure", said the Tirana coach.
In Saturday's next match, Dinamo plays against Skënderbeut at the "Elbasan Arena". (A2 Televizion)
