The captain of the Albania national team, Ardian Ismajli, commented on his team’s defeat to the Ukrainian national team (1:2) in yesterday’s match of the final, 6th round of the League of Nations group stage.
Ardian Ismajli“The first half of this match was our worst half in the last three years. With such a game, it's hard to expect luck. In the second half, we had nothing to lose, and therefore we looked completely different. Everything changed on the field, in the game. A very good second half on our part.
We need to learn lessons from this first half, from our mistakes. Yes, fatigue played a role. But when you’re in front of 20 thousand of your fans, you shouldn’t feel fatigue.
In any case, we did everything we could in the second half. We didn’t have enough time to equalize the score. When you concede two goals at this level, it’s very difficult to come back. But we tried our best,” said Ismajli.
