National team midfielder Juljan Shehu spoke on the eve of friendly matches under new coach Rolando Maran. He stated that they need to create a new identity and that the player who deserves it most will play.

"I think every coach has their own ideas regarding the positioning of the players on the field, I don't know if I will be further forward or in the same position, the important thing is that every time I am on the field with the National Team I give my maximum and the best for the team. I don't know exactly where I will be because the coach has his own ideas about the game, I will do my best whether I am ahead or further back.

Every coach wants to create a team based on the ideas he has, there can be changes and it is normal that there will be as long as the coach is new. I hope that these two matches will be very important for us, in terms of the continuity that we will have in the Nations League matches in September, we will do our best and build our identity with the new coach.

"Every player who comes to the National Team deserves to be here as long as they are, every position and every place is open to everyone and whoever deserves to play will play," Shehu said at the regular press conference.
