Bekim Balaj has scored four goals in the six matches played this season in the Super League.
The Vllaznia captain spoke before the match against Tirana, which will be played on Friday at 17:00 at 'Loro Boriçi' and is valid for the eighth round of the Super League.
Balaj, the former Tirana striker in the 2011-12 season, has spoken with the utmost respect for the blue and white team, but he wants to beat them on the field tomorrow.
"It's a match that is awaited with interest, considering the history and the confrontations between the two teams over the years. We are in first place and we need a victory for continuity. We need the fans in the stadium and a victory."
You played with Tirana...
Yes, we are professionals. I had a very good period in Tirana that served me to move outside Albania. I have maximum respect. Today I am the captain of Vllaznia and I want to motivate and push the team towards a great victory that would serve us a lot.
Vllaznia the team to beat?
It's too early to say, but we deserve to be in first place and it serves us well to continue at this pace.
The match with Tirana in recent years has been accompanied by incidents...
Measures will be taken, it's not like we're thinking about that part. The less tension, the less spectacle in the stands and on the field. The rivalry between the two teams has been going on for years, I remember as a child we celebrated the victory against Tirana with great enthusiasm. At this moment, the points are worth it.
Is this the best Vllaznia since your return to Shkodra?
"We really have a good team. Looking at the players and the competition in the team, we are good. But the results will show this. We went to the final last year, but we didn't win the trophy. The season has just started, we have time to show what we will do ," said Bekim Balaj among others.
