"We are motivated, to adapt to Mara as soon as possible", Gjimshiti before Israel: I expect a good match, we have a strong team

After failing in the World Cup Play-off, Albania will take to the field again, this time in a friendly. Before the friendly with Israel, captain Berat Gjimshiti said that the team must adapt as quickly as possible to the schemes of the new coach, Maran.

Gloomy atmosphere in the National Team, how do you see it as captain?

As the whole journey went, we were all convinced that it would be very beautiful for us as a National Team, as a country, as a state. But it is a new beginning, with a new staff. We are all very motivated. The whole group is the same with some new players. We have trained well.

It's not easy, but the ideas are clear. With the little time we had, we tried to understand the coach in this new cycle. The more time passes, the better it gets. We are ready to do what the coach asks and give everything on the field.

How difficult will the coach find the Italian philosophy?

Every coach has new ideas, just like Sylvinho had them. The coach should give us the thoughts he has received for this cycle and it is all up to us to do on the field what the coach wants.

Have you thought about how long you will continue in the National Team?

I haven't thought about it yet. It's a positive sign, I hope I'll play for a few more years. My body is ready to play at a high level. I can make a decision later, but right now I'm not thinking about it.

Tactics change, positions on the field change. As I said, it's not easy to do several things in 2-3 days. He's focused on the most important things at the moment, to do them on the field.

Specific strategies from Maran for a different spirit?

Of course. As I said, we have had little time in these days, but the ideas are clear. It is the coach himself who will talk about the strategy. I hope we have good matches in these two friendlies. Israel has had a growth in recent times, so it is a technically good team, especially in attack.

Does Berat, as a leader, see the group as the right one to do well with Mara?

It's not easy at the end of the season, a long season for everyone. But with a new spirit, with a new coach, all the players want to prove themselves for a place in the National Team. It's not normal to come to the National Team, to wear this jersey. The energy is very positive, again we will aim as high and as well as possible.
