Partizan coach Oltijon Kërnaja analyzed the 0-1 victory over Elbasan in the Albanian Cup.

"I was insulted, I was insulted and insulted in chorus by everyone for all the good matches I said about the team. And to begin with, it's a bit embarrassing that we have family members, wife, mother and sister who listen to us and they have to play the match "mute" because it is impossible with 5 thousand fans to insult a coach in chorus.

As for the game, we totally dominated. These guys are really guys in the first sense of the word. In the first half it should have ended 3 or 4-0, with an empty net and only the goalkeeper and no shots from the opposing team.

We had prepared Hjuma to enter between the lines, seeing the opposing team's defense slow, he came out in the first half. We asked for him, he came out twice himself, served twice, then it was a fluent action of his. He is among the players who runs the most in Albania, the match before that he ran 11,5 kilometers, we know his quality. We needed him to gain meters because he gained us numerical superiority, so we thought so. We analyzed the opposing team, it was a very good match from the teams, like the 2-2, this week too. It was an extremely good match. Elbasan is in the best form, we had many weeks that they had not won at home. But the boys synchronized their movements very well, Tsague said that he is not in a good moment, but Bytyçi made his job difficult, winning almost all the duels with him.

All the boys did their best, let's not forget they played a match four days ago when they returned to Ballsh, today they played an extremely good match. I mentioned the case of Bytyç, but also the others, I congratulate the boys and I hope we continue like this in the future.

We had prepared and analyzed it well, thanks to the staff we work with, we had analyzed Elbasan very well, seeing that Elbasan's two center backs do not hold the ball and Toma was enough for us to be with them, especially Azemovic who does not play with the left. We thought that Sidibe and Isgandarli would help us, who spent a lot but gave a lot to the team. Today, all the boys deserve compliments, even those who are not, who will help the team and Partizan will move forward a lot.

It was a counterattack, seeing that Elbasan introduced players who are not defenders in the defensive line, like Kasa and Lajthia. Kasa is a player who deals with the ball a lot, we needed two attackers, we thought we would attack and win the match. not just get a draw. That was the reason for introducing attackers, that's why Shabani was introduced.,

This team is aggressive, in all matches, they run endlessly, we have enough energy even for the derby, we will go in to win. These are beautiful performances, when I said it at the beginning, I was accused of speaking in superlatives. But I know, I live every day with these guys and I know where the team is. I came and I found the team with only one goal and one own goal, with only 4 points. Now the team has volume and desire to win, maybe we would have had a few more points with some mistakes, even mine that I take responsibility for. But these guys, they are guys", said Kërnaja.
