The new coach of Tirana, Magani: With Bylis as the derby, let's

Tirana and Bylis play on Sunday at 17:00 at "Niko Dovana" of Durrës for the 13th week in the Superliga. In this challenge for the blue and white, Gugash Magani, the coach from Peqina who returns to Tirana for the second time, makes his debut on the bench, this one after nine years.

With only one victory and the cold zone in the standings, Tirana sacked Bledi Shkëmbi and entrusted the exit from the crisis to a name like Magani. On the eve of the challenge with Bylis, the coach said that they should "kill the fear" and that Tirana does not deserve such a situation.

"I am running Tirana for the second time, for me it is a great honor and responsibility, I can't say a delicate but unusual moment for Tirana. It is learned and has major objectives. Only winning the championship is called success, there have been cases and the cup in the most glorious times was not called a very successful objective.

Crisis - We will get out of this unusual situation. Let's not look back, analyze what happened, look ahead because there are matches and the second phase has started. It is a group of young footballers who have a great desire to play football.

Objectives – What we aim for is to motivate the players, it's important to teach them what jersey they wear at home. It is appreciation and responsibility. It is very important to kill the fear, I think the situation is easily passed then.

The next match - Bylisi started the championship badly, they made changes to the bench. These 3-4 weeks have had very good results with good play, the hand of colleague Dede. We value it as a derby because every game is worth three points, especially in these positions we are in, we need victory.

The coach and the staff are with the team to kill the fear, we keep the pressure, the players don't have pressure, have fun, football is art. Then we leave it to luck and the game, but luck is always the strongest.

Returns - Good news that captain Pergjoni is back from injury, he is ready for the game. The bad news is that Prengaj will be absent for 2-3 weeks, or a month, the staff determines. All players are in comfortable or optimal positions to contribute to the team", said Gugash Magani.

With only 11 points after the 12th week, Tirana has only one victory and is in deep crisis. Add here the fact that the last four home games, the most titled club in the country, play outside the capital due to the lack of grounds.
