"What is the best thing about Ireland?", Roko Vata answers by mentioning the origin

Rocco Vata has joined the Irish national team for the Nations League matches that they will play in the coming days. The son of former national team captain Rudi Vata, has decided to play with the Irish, whom he has represented for years with the youth teams, in the face of the silence of the Albanian Football Association (AFH), which was remembered only this month after sending him an invitation for two friendlies with the U21s.
The fact that he has been playing for years with Ireland, where his mother comes from, has made Rocco quickly acclimate to the national team in question, where he is already seen as an element that will do a lot for it in the coming years, especially if he continues to perform at the same pace as he is doing at Watford in England.
In the early days of Ireland's squad, he was asked, like all the other footballers, what he thought was the best thing about Ireland, in a video that was later published on social media by the Federation of Ireland itself.
“Houth!” the boy replies after a moment’s thought. “Because that’s where my family is from,” he said, recalling the small village on the outskirts of Dublin where his mother’s family comes from. One of the reasons he chose to play for Ireland.
There was only one question we could ask on Lá Fhéile Pádraig ????????????
