Coach Ivan Gvozdenovic spoke after the match that Elbasan won against Egnatia. A match that brought the first 3 points for this season.
"Today was a very important and very nice victory for us. This was a victory for our fans because today was the first match with the fans. We are very pleased and happy because after Dinamo it was a very difficult week for us. The boys deserved it all because they reacted very well on the field. With a victory like today I can say that we are a little calmer. We still have Tirana next week. Every week is important. Calm not me, but the players. They are now gaining confidence. We are a good team, we can win against a champion team like Egnatia.
The title and the Cup last season? It was a bad moment for us. The Cup semi-final and then the Final Four, but this is football. Today we were very aggressive on the field, within the rules of football. A very nice victory came against a team that has a lot of quality. I joked a little with the staff because when Egnatia started the substitutions, it was impossible to understand who was a player from the bench or the formation. We are happy, now we have a day off tomorrow. Then the week of Tirana.
Today came a victory in the fourth week. We need continuity. We can judge after weeks 5-6-7. I am confident that we will continue like this. Today is the formula for us. A team with an average age of 21-23. Last year we were 28 or 29. We need confidence, continuity and to continue training like this. Time will tell, but I am very optimistic", Gvozdenovic told the media.
