The captain of Pogradeci, Vangjel Zguro, is one of those footballers who, beyond his leadership performances on the pitch, also stands out for his direct statements in television studios. Speaking live on the show “Mega Sport,” the 32-year-old spoke with optimism, believing that at the end of the season the lakeside team will be crowned champions of the First Category, despite the 8-point gap from leaders Skënderbeu.
“Wait another four months and we’ll be in the Superiore. Nothing is guaranteed, but we’ll try just like we did last year.
When I left Partizani, I told them that Pogradeci has a big project. Last year luck wasn’t on our side, but we’re continuing now and we hope to make it happen this season. We have two strong rivals like Skënderbeu and Laçi.
Coach Çela has found the key to success, he’s getting the maximum out of every player. We hope to maintain the rhythm and very soon reach the top two places.
Skënderbeu and Laçi have it very difficult against us. In two matches with Laçi we have 4 points, in two matches with Korça we have 3 points.
If we go by experience, Egnatia shouldn’t become champions at all, the title should go to teams with experience.
I’m a Skënderbeu supporter because I’ve played there, but in my opinion Laçi play the most beautiful football in the First Category.
Skënderbeu win in the end? Either things go their way or it’s a strategy, I can’t say. They’ve won many matches at the end. They endure matches, they don’t get nervous. This category is like that. It’s a league that doesn’t have much football. Even against Skënderbeu, we lost at the end, but in a way we got our payback.
In the First Category there isn’t much effective football, except for the top teams.
Vora, with First Category players, all players take their first steps in the First Category. If I were a Sporting Director at a club, I’d gladly take many players, more than 6–7 players.
There are also players in the Second Category who can play without fear in the Superiore. They just need to be given trust and opportunity. Without opportunity, ability has no value. In Albania there’s no patience, there’s no time to watch players, if you lose three matches, you’re out.
In a team, if everyone isn’t united toward one goal, there’s no point even stepping on the pitch. The race will be very strong.
Transfer matters are handled by the staff, I’m on the field.
Pogradeci will be champions this year. In first place. We’re 1 point behind Laçi, 8 points behind Skënderbeu. Keep a record of this video and play it at the end of the season.
Personally, as a player, this is the belief I have and this is how I believe it will turn out.
Tan Takja has experience, but the other team also has experienced players, maybe a bit more than Tan Takja’s team.
As for the president, that remains to be seen. Even Egnatia’s president doesn’t have much experience, but he has two championship titles. Today in football, and in Albania, investment matters more. Whoever invests, has experience,” Zguro said.
