Albania will face Latvia in Riga in the fourth qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup.
Albanian national team midfielder Kristjan Asllani expressed that the team comes from a very good match against Serbia and that in Riga they will play only for victory.
“We need to recharge our batteries because we come from a very good match where the only thing missing was the goal.
Here, we come only for the three points, to realize our dream and objective.
Since the coach arrived, I believe I have played all the matches.
We have to think about the team because tomorrow we have a very tough match.
They have an Italian coach, and I know how Italian coaches work.
Right now, I’m not thinking about Kristjan Asllani, I’m only thinking about the team, and we have come here just to win this match.
I remember Zelenkovs very well because we played together for two years at Empoli. We got along very well. Tomorrow, we will see each other again after 3-4 years.
I think we will swap shirts; I will be the one to ask for it. I hope we win this match,” said Asllani.
