"At some points we showed nervousness. Maybe it came from the lack of concentration on the two penalties. Then the nervousness became present in us. I spoke with the boys at half-time, but at some points we exaggerate a little." Egnatia's coach Nevil Dede is not completely satisfied with his team, despite the third victory in as many matches. The coach, perhaps also to keep the team on its feet, draws the attention of his players: "As a coach I apologize, we don't have to do that. It's not the end of the world even when we are not in advantage. We went to Europe and are winning the championship. The championship has its own journey, a long marathon. At some point there will be cards, suspensions."
Finally, also the unstinting praise for the most in-form player of the Rrogozhinas, Alessandro Albanese: "I'm happy for Albanese. The touch I made to Albanese, he is a free player, where he plays more in the center lines. Although today in some situations he played on the left and gave us choices. I think that Albanese is a real 10 in the qualities and quality that he has. We had shortcomings, in midfield and defense as it has been an unstable configuration. However, I think that the quality of Albanese with the support of others, I hope and I find the opportunity to say that Kryeziu will not have great concerns. But Albanese is showing the capacity that he has. I am not bragging and saying that Albanese is doing well by me", said Dede.
Ahmataj: "Luck was not with us"
"Seeing the draw that pitted us against the most in-form teams from the beginning, which are Egnatia and Dinamo, who have gone further in Europe, we knew the difficulty. But we have not seen any difference that these teams have against us". Julian Ahmataj was not caught unprepared by only 1 point won from a possible 9. Skënderbeu's coach, after the loss to Egnatia, is caught up in the calendar and fate: "Luck was not with us. In both matches we had the opportunity to score before the opponents. We had clear chances that were not used, it is a pity".
Ahmataj then justifies himself with the fact that the red and whites are a rebuilt team and need time to adapt and consolidate: "A new team needs a bonus to perform well. We still have limits to explore, to see the team above. At home it will be different. You get more adrenaline. But I don't believe that this was missing from us. The goal came due to negligence, as happened with Dinamo. It is a very solvable problem. The players are young, it takes time because they don't know the championship either."
