Partizan coach Oltijon Kërnaja gave his opinion before the match against Elbasan in the Cup.
The team's condition ...
The team's condition is good, the boys have trained, almost the entire group is ready. Preka has joined the group, who is not yet ready for the match, but is preparing with the team and will be ready for the other matches. The rest continues training normally.
Does the busy period with matches affect the physical aspect of the team?
To be honest, the boys have shown good sports parameters in the last 4 matches. The physical parameters have been in order. They have not complained about any physical problems in these matches. The team is ready. We have recovered as much as we could. In the last two training sessions we have dedicated ourselves to recovering the energy lost in Ballsh. We will be ready for tomorrow.
Do you think it's the right moment to beat Elbasan?
Tomorrow we certainly have a strong match against an opponent who has done well this season. They are really having a very good season. We can say maybe we haven't beaten them, but since I've been in charge for 17 weeks, Elbasan hasn't beaten us either. We have a 0–0 draw in Elbasan and a 2–2 at home, so we go with equal "weapons" and enter the match for victory.
The highest chances of reaching Europe in the Cup or the championship?
We have said that we will try to reach Europe in both competitions. The Cup with a little better management has a closer chance because there are fewer matches. Let's not forget that in the Cup there is always a second chance. After the first match you have the second match, while in the championship if you miss a match you have no time to recover. The Cup gives you the opportunity to recover. We just have to manage the situation well tomorrow and I believe we will qualify.
How much has the team's latest victory affected the atmosphere in the group?
To be honest, the atmosphere is extremely good. We were also extremely good in the previous match. We showed that we know how to play football, that we are superior on the field. In the last matches we have been truly superior to all opponents, despite the result like the one in Shkodër where we were defeated, or the 2–2 draw against Elbasan where we conceded an accidental goal in the 90th minute. The boys have given their maximum and the group feels very good.
