Total silence, Egnatia closes before Partizan! Isolation as a strategy thought by the club
2026-02-28 16:20:18 / SPORT
Egnatia has chosen silence on the eve of one of the most important challenges of the season, the one against Partizan. In an unusual move, coach Edlir Tetova did not appear at the traditional pre-match press conference, clearly signaling that all the team's attention is focused on the 90 minutes against the Reds. The coach's absence from the media is not simply a tactical communication choice.
For several weeks, the Rrogozhina club has been in the spotlight after the penalties imposed for public statements by Tetova and its sports director, Kejdi Zenelaj, regarding the refereeing. Since then, a more reserved approach has been noticed in the Egnatia environment, with the club preferring to avoid comments and controversies, shifting its focus entirely to the field.
This “silence” seems like a well-thought-out strategy: no statement that could create additional tension, no message that could be interpreted out of context. On the eve of facing a direct opponent like Partizan, every energy is being saved for the sporting battle. In Rrogozhina they are aware that such matches decide a lot, not only for the standings, but also for the morale and continuity of the season. On the other hand, silence is also a message. Egnatia wants to speak with play and results, leaving behind the noise of recent weeks. Facing Partizan, a team with experience and clear claims, the Rrogozhina team knows that they must show prudence, discipline and personality.
CONTINUITY IS REQUIRED – In terms of sport, Egnatia enters this challenge with a clear need for stability. The last five weeks have been a reflection of the fluctuations that have accompanied the team during this period. In this interval, the Rrogozhina team has recorded only two wins and a total of eight points, a performance that is weaker compared to direct rivals such as Vllaznia, Elbasan and Partizan itself. These figures show that the team has had difficulty maintaining the rhythm and building a positive series. At times, it has shown potential and convincing play, but continuity has been missing, the key element in a long and strong championship like the Superiore.
This is precisely what makes the match against Partizan even more delicate: another false step would deepen the differences, while a positive result would restore confidence and balance. The victory over Dinamo a week ago served as a morale injection for the group. The three points obtained in that challenge not only stopped a series of shaky results, but restored confidence in the team's strengths. Now the challenge is to build on that success and not remain an isolated episode. Against Partizan, Egnatia seeks precisely this: continuity. A confirmation that the team has learned from the mistakes of recent weeks and is ready to return to the level that has characterized it in the best moments of the season.
