"This is our football in Albania, we have nothing to do. We could have been spared this match in the middle of the play-offs, but we still accept the verdict and look forward." The words spoken by Dinamo coach Ilir Daja after the defeat to Vora, in the first week of the Abyssnet Superiore, are a strong sting for the Albanian Football Federation, which did not think of postponing the debut of the blues, despite being engaged in the Conference League play-off against Pafos (1-1 first leg). The coach thought of lining up the players who have had fewer minutes, to avoid fatigue before returning to Cyprus, but the result was a surprising defeat.
The words of coach Daja, who finds no solace, with the next match against Pafos on Thursday, sound like decisions: "We can't prepare for three matches in a week and when we return from Cyprus, we can't prepare for 4 matches in 8-9 days, which means that we had to make a total rotation. We started the match with only 2 players from the formation, Aliji and Vila. The rest were players from the second formation. Of course, they are from Dinamo and we don't underestimate them at all, but they have never played together."
