Partizan coach Oltijon Kërnaja spoke at a press conference before the championship match against Bylis.
How is the team doing for the challenge against Bylis?
Kërnaja: For tomorrow most of the group is ready, I hope we will have Fadairon available as well. The only missing player is Skuka, who is still injured. Atanaskoski returns after his suspension, so the team is complete for tomorrow's match.
The psychological state of the team after the latest results –
Kërnaja: To be honest, the boys look good. Training has gone very well all week. Regardless of the results, the game has shown that we have been there. We have produced extremely well in the last two games, but maybe it is a bad moment there in front of the goal. I think it is more of a psychological problem in scoring goals. I believe that I will come to this game.
It's a challenge to Bylis to make the turn –
Kërnaja: We must win for the objective we have, not to turn around because we are there. It is time to win to continue our objective. We have barely reached that place with a lot of struggle and sacrifice, we must keep it.
How do you rate the Bylis team –
Kërnaja: Bylis is a very strong team I think. I showed this a week ago against Dinamo City, which is an opponent that can open up work for any team. It is the same situation as last season's Partizani - Bylis and we know the end of the match from 2 - 0 to 2 - 3 for Bylis, so it is a difficult match. We have to open up the maximum to evaluate it because we need the 3 points.
Do you think the trials have distorted the competition?
Kërnaja: We will see at the end of the season what the outcome will be so that we can get a more accurate answer as to whether or not there was a distortion of the competition. We know that perhaps the cup match against Elbasan has had an impact, to be honest, regardless of who we will leave these powers to someone else to take over. In our match with Elbasan, it has had an impact on the result in the qualification, which we would talk about differently. For the rest, then there is someone else who takes over. It is not up to us to talk about the referees, here we are talking about the match with Bylis.
Kërnaja: It happens to every striker in the world to have a setback. Even great players like Lautaro Martinez, who is the captain of Inter and hasn't scored for 2 months, despite being the best striker in Serie A. It's not that we haven't had any chances with Sidibe, we've had good one-on-one chances with the goalkeeper both with Vllaznia and Elbasan. But we'll help the guy get back to goal as soon as possible, because with his goals and those of all the other players, we need to get out of the results we're in right away. All together as a group from the first to the last to get ahead.
In Skuka's absence, Contreras and Toma have not done what was expected of you –
Kërnaja: They are different profiles, they cannot be compared to Skuka. Contreras and Toma are young guys who have not been affirmed but have done well so far. Let's not forget that Toma came as the fourth choice of our attack at the beginning. He came at the last moment on August 31. While Contreras did well with Partizan B in the second category, we took him over. They are guys to be affirmed. Skuka is known to be a big name for our team that has given a lot and that is expected a lot. The qualities and qualities are different, the experience is different so I don't believe that the guys did badly, they did well. Contreras is playing for the first time this year and has scored 6 goals, not a little for a striker who is playing for the first time in the super league. Toma has also scored 6 goals. It wasn't just Toma and Contreras who had psychological problems with scoring, Isgandarli, Sidibe, Human, Bytyçi and Sembene also had them in standard situations.
The comebacks at this stage of the championship –
Kërnaja: They are very important because to be honest they are the axis of the team. Preka is the captain of the team along with Skuka. Preka's return, apart from the field, is also necessary for harmony in the locker room. Fadairo who gives us the opportunity for our attacking maneuver to change in different matches. While Msrku, Çipi, Sula along with Martinez have lost the season.
Kërnaja: I have told the fans in other conferences that we apologize for the recent results. We will give our maximum as we have done since the first day I was here. We will sweat, we will run, we will only go in for victory because football is played for the fans and we have to entertain them.
