Men's volleyball this season was unprecedented! Partizani dominated every opponent and was ultimately declared the champion of Albania. The team led by Yll Tomorri was perfect in every match and did not record a single loss. The capital team achieved every objective, not only defending the championship title but also winning every possible trophy.
With only one set lost in the entire season, Partizan recorded a historic season and managed to defend the championship title in the best possible way. An unforgettable season for Partizan who lifted the championship trophy for the 17th time in history. The capital defeated Skënderbeu three times in a row in the finals in a match without history that was led only by the red attack.
The architect of this team, coach Yll Tomorri, built the team that everyone would want with the best Albanian players united and with the strength of foreign players like Brazilian Coutinho or Colombian Pablo...
For coach Ylli Tomorri, this year has exceeded all expectations. From the beginning, the team was projected to win all 5 trophies. For the tall Raul Sabliqi, this success was not a coincidence, but the fruit of a great job that the whole team did every day in training.
For the two Martiro brothers, this season with the Partizan jersey was a success. Although they grew up in the red club's academy, Kristi and Ledio say that it is always a special emotion. According to them, the positive spirit of the group and the ambition to win against every opponent were the key to the success of this fantastic year.
Coutinho was undoubtedly an added strength for the Reds. After a fantastic season last year, the Reds decided to bring the Brazilian back to the capital.
Coutinho, was this your best season?
For me and for the team. I felt very good here. We are like a family. I also thank the boys for all the support they have given me. They have made everything easier for me. I am very happy for the boys and also for the coach.
In your opinion, which team was the strongest for Partizan?
I think Skënderbeu. For me, the Korça team is a very good team. They have had a very good, competitive season. I compliment them. When we play in Korça, it is more difficult. This is because of the fans. I also love the city of Korça, the atmosphere there, but playing there is really difficult. In the Gjergj Kastrioti league we went point by point although in the end we won 3-0, the game was very competitive. But we did the job.. and to close it like this is amazing...
Will you stay at Partizan for next season?
We'll see. We haven't talked about this yet. I don't know anything yet. I'll talk to the coach, maybe to fix some things. I don't know, I don't know...
Can this team do well in the European arena?
Yes. I think this team has a lot of quality and can play in the European leagues. Of course we still have to work because we know the level there, but I think it is possible that we can compete.
Brazilian Coutinho loves Albania and wants to get to know it better. In addition to learning a few words in Albanian, he also expressed his desire to spend his holidays on the Albanian coast.
I'm going to spend a few days in Albania.. I don't know where I'll go yet. Maybe in Korça, maybe here, maybe in Durrës or why not see other places. Now I have a lot of time before I return to my country. We'll see.
Partizan's objective now remains the European matches where the difficulty will be much greater. They do not want to talk about money but promise that if they have the opportunity and above all the financial support, they will give everything for a dignified performance in the European arena.
