Tirana is the team of the moment this year with 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 matches, but now comes the most difficult part as the calendar reserves 3 consecutive derbies between the championship and the Cup. Despite this fact, coach Nuhiu appeared calm at the press conference before the challenge against Dinamo, emphasizing that he and his team do not look further than this meeting:
"It is an important match for Tirana, the players, but also the fans. Undoubtedly, such matches require a deep analysis, we analyzed the opposing team that has quality within the group, I expect my team to be focused on this match, I believe in the grit of how we have played the matches this year. We have told the team how to face tomorrow and that it will serve us to get the best out of the matches.
We are facing many problems, Xhixha will be absent, Ernest has joined the group, but we need to see his physical condition. Our captain Haxhiu will also be absent and Marku has joined the group, but we need to see his condition. Derby matches do not know the table and what has happened, we come from a very important victory, does not save us the championship, we must develop this new challenge with humility, concentration and for everyone to show their values.
I'm happy that we're going 2 months without a loss, we need continuity, it's good for the team. Looking at the quality of the group, it's nothing too much, I like the mentality, the way they're approaching every match, with a hunger to win the match, we can make it easy, it's going to take a lot of sacrifices.
"The transfer market has been extremely high because we know that in January it is poor, but he has done a lot of work by using the connections he (director Bunjaku) has that convinced them to join our team. They are serving the team, I am happy that they came and are helping the team, we have maintained a good group, we must not forget that we have 4-5 absences. The focus will be only on tomorrow's match, we take the matches 1 by 1, we must spend all our energy on tomorrow's match", he declared.
