Rudi Vata: The match against Poland is the most important in the history of

Rudi Vata recently gave an interview for the show "Mes'dritë" on "Vizion Plus". The former captain of the Albanian National Team said that the match with Poland is the most important match in the history of Albanian football. According to him, the poor form of our main players must be compensated with the right energy and self-confidence. Vata advises the National Team not to concede a goal in the first 25 minutes, despite the fact that the Poles will start vigorously and with intensity from the first minute.

"This is the most important match in the history of Albanian football. It is a match that gives us another chance. It is a match of special importance. It is a match of great responsibility. We are a national team that is growing as a country and as a national team. Currently, we do not have the best form of elite and important players. Bajrami at Glasgow Rangers has not had a good season. Hysaj, captain and vice-captain, also at Lazio has not received the right minutes. Asllani has also had deficits. Broja, the main attacking player. A player in whom the entire national team had hopes and believed that he could take us to the highest levels. He also did not have good moments this season at the Bernie Sanders club.

We are a more or less wounded national team, I can say. For this type of match, a kind of selected and very strong energy is needed. We need a lot of self-confidence and to be brave on the field, because it will be a stadium overflowing with Polish fans. I am convinced that the Poles will start the match with high tempo and pressure. The first 25 minutes are very important, so that the team does not concede a goal. It would be fatal if we conceded in the first 25 minutes”, said Rudi Vata.
