"Only Albanian was spoken in the family, it was the rule" - Born in Athens, Mario Mitaj: It's easier to make friends with an Albanian than a Greek

Mario Mitaj has a close social connection with Armando Broja. The defender of the national team was seen hanging out with the Fulham striker during Albania's training sessions in the March matches. In an interview for Koha Shtesë, Mario Mitaj gave another confession, where he also spoke about the Fulham player.
"I have a close relationship with Armando Broja. For me Broja is a very very high level player. I believe he is a player who can make the difference on the field. We also saw it against Chile and Sweden, a case where we were not given a penalty, but the game could have ended 0-1 for us.
I believe he will be a protagonist if he comes to Euro24 and I hope he will. The injury that he had, he has passed, the problem is only that he has as many minutes as possible to gain the physical aspect, that is the only problem. I talked about many things with Broja, also about the European. It is normal that I am saving the assistant for the European for Broja. It was the offside assist I gave him with Sweden, as he will be a regular in the European Championship.
After the match with Sweden, Kulusevski came and congratulated me, told me that I had played very well. I want to whitewash Silvinho's face, he trusted me a lot and I want to repay him. From the fact that I am playing as a starter in Albania, they also trusted me at Lokomotiva in Russia, otherwise I would have been on the bench there.
Juventus? Journalists blow things up a bit more. I knew that some members of Juventus and other clubs would see me in the game against Chile. But I don't know if it will be Juventus or any other club in the future, however I am ready, I see myself ready, I am not afraid.
Ever since I was little, I have been very patriotic. Even as a family, we only spoke Albanian at home, to learn it as much as possible, even though I was not born and raised in Albania. And that's why when you come to Albania, it's a very nice feeling for me, to see the country that I love so much.
I have a Greek friend, I also have Albanian friends, at the end of the day we are all human. But of course, with an Albanian, I can become friends faster, since we are connected by this patriotism", said Mitaj.
