He waited years for the national team/ Qazim Laçi, the immigrant who refused to change his name in Greece

Qazim Laçi, an immigrant child born and raised in Greece, did not even think that he would enter history. The family of the author of the first goal in Albania's match against Croatia gave everything for their son to wear the jersey of the red and black national team.
The 28-year-old footballer, originally from Dibra, grew up in the Greek state, where he must have faced prejudice to change his surname, which he never accepted. He has already written his name in the history of the European Championship.
Laçi was called up for the first time with the Albanian National Team in 2020, by the technician Edi Reja, while also gaining the trust of Silvinjo, to collect him in the National Team's list for the matches of this European Championship.
Laçi recently plays with Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic, which has had a good season this year, winning both the domestic Championship and the Cup, while the talent of the red and black national team has played an important role for the team.
Laçi has not hidden the pride of gathering with the national team at any moment, while after yesterday's match, he charged the other boys of the team to be able to hope for a positive result, in the last match in the group, the one against Spain.
"The way the game went with that goal at the end, we deserved at least a point. It was a very good performance. I'm very happy for the goal, but the points are more important because now we have more confidence, for the match with Spain, which will be very difficult, and why not try for the second or third place after that ," Laçi said. after the match with Croatia.
