Vedat Muriqi: The goals are for the "Dardans", the hair is not touched

Kosovo striker Vedat Muriqi has given a candid interview ahead of the crucial match against Slovenia, talking about his ambitions, his chances of qualifying and his famous hair promise. The Mallorca star has made it clear that despite a chance of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, he will not cut his hair.

However, Muriqi promised that he will give everything to score goals in the final stage of the World Cup. “With strong defense and fast counterattacks, we hope to punish Slovenia and qualify for the World Cup,” said Muriqi. The striker added: “I am always focused on the team’s victory. Goals are important to me, but the success of the national team is more important.

But if I score the winning goal, I don't think there will be anyone happier than me." He also commented on the situation in the group: "The table currently shows that we have done better than Slovenia. We are four points ahead of them. They have shown self-confidence in the media, but we are also ambitious. For us, the most important thing is to secure the "play off", then we will see what happens next." Referring to the famous hair promise, Muriqi expressed himself with humor: "When you asked me about that promise, I understood that it was to cut my hair. But no, that will not happen. I'm sorry!"
