Dritei coach, Zekirija Ramadani, continues to keep the air optimistic and safe from the end of the match on the National Arena and reported how his team will play on Thursday night against FCSB. One of the team leaders, Besnik Krasniqi, believes that Drita can remove FCSB!
Zekirija Ramadani, 47, has retained the same dose of optimism that the coach of FC Drita also displayed at the end of the 3-2 failure on the National Arena last week.
The North-Macedonian technician has announced that his team will play aggressively, within the limits imposed by the regulation, because he wants to force a historical result. A qualification would provide one hundred percent qualification in the Conference League group, besides allowing the winner to continue in the Europa League play-off.
Zekirija Ramadani before Drita – FCSB: “It will be an aggressive match, we know we are a strong mental band”
“We know that the match with FCSB on Thursday will be harder than last week. But we have prepared for this. We are trying to work periodically all the details, we have a lot of work to cover the mistakes we have made.
Probably, it will be an aggressive match, I hope we do not repeat the errors last time. When I say “aggressive”, I mean everything that is within the limits of sportiness. With all respect for opponents, we will try not to show our respect for the opponent on the field.
I do not accept the idea that I lost, especially after led 2-0 in Bucharest. I analyzed and collectively, and personally. We will give everything to return the result to Priestina. It took me something to get over that result. We know we are a strong mental band. We won't be beaten.
On Thursday, regardless of the result, we will push the game and do everything to qualify, “the white-blue coach reacted.
I do not think that we can be the second Albanian club that eliminates FCSB from Europe, to be Drita after Shkendija. We will show on the ground what can we

What Zekirija Ramadani said about the atmosphere of Pristina and about Florin Tanase
Ramadani is pleased that Florin Tanase (suspended) cannot evolve in the “double” with his team.
“I cannot mention a particular player from FCSB. Number 10 (Florin Tanase), who is suspended, I understood that he was very good. I do not want to highlight someone, to bring him to the light of the spotlight.
(How will the atmosphere be at the stadium?) I have a question instead. How do you feel at the priest? Okay? We are professionals, we are here to play football. We received the guests well, as we were received in Bucharest, as we received everyone, “said the North-Macedonian coach from Drita.
At the official training of the red-blue, the hosts wrote “Welcome” in Albanian and English.
We analyzed the first match, analyzed our weaknesses and want to look like in the first 60-70 minutes. Because we want to eliminate FCSB. And we prepared the game to remove our opponent in 90 minutes. But we will be prepared and if we reach extensions and penalties
