Analyst Ilir Demalia, in a post made on his social network on Facebook, responded to Rudi Vasta, regarding some confessions he made in his book "My life! Football, Freedom and Heaven."
Demalia writes that Vata tells, among other things, in the book that in 1991 "he was an enemy of his country", and that he "learned the foreign language secretly".
" Foreign languages have not been forbidden in Albania, but they have been taught regularly since 7-year and then 8-year schools since 1948, Russian followed by French, English, Italian and recently Spanish ", writes Demalia.
Ilir Demaliaj's full reaction:
Why is Rudi Vata lying?!
Today I found in the media, an interview of Rudi Vata about his book published in Scotland, "My life! Football Freedom and Paradise."
Rudi Vata, a footballer who with his effort, sweat and talent achieved those results that are already known of an average footballer compared to the players of European countries and a good footballer for Albania, the time when he played with Vllaznia and Dinamo and Tirana as a player not a star, even for the history of Albanian football.
Although he has been living in the West for 33 years and is married to a European woman, he has not been able to break away from the culture of manipulation-simulation-falsification when this, even more so, has no need to present himself as persecuted, anti-communist, etc. But the manipulation-simulation-falsification virus among Albanians, it is a widespread virus like Covid, a popular sport that shows a low and complex level. Even Rudi Vata, who has been living in Scotland for 33 years, has not escaped this.
Here is what Vata wrote in his book, according to that interview:
1. "I was an enemy of my country, I had betrayed my country. But I tried to turn every negative moment into a positive one. I think you appreciate life a lot better when you go through those things."
In the fall of 1991, the communist system had fallen and the first pluralist elections were held in March 1991. So Vata's "arrival", according to him, and the declaration of "enemy" by the regime are ridiculous and show a man who does not know for what reason did this. In this period of 1991 dozens of footballers Minga, Kola, Alimehemeti, Lekbello, Demollari and others left Albania.
2. "It was illegal to learn another language in communist Albania. But an old priest who had served 24 years in prison came secretly twice a week to teach us Italian. Their investment opened the door for me to join Celtic. I communicated with Liam in Italian.”
Foreign languages have not been banned in Albania, but they have been taught regularly since 7-year and then 8-year schools since 1948, Russian followed by French, English, Italian and finally Spanish.
Since 1950, there has been a Pedagogical School in Tirana, where the Women's Institute used to be at the time of Zog and Italy, diagonal to the Parliament today, where the movie "Poppies on the Walls" was played, where the branches of foreign languages were Russian, French , Italian.
With the creation of the State University of Tirana in 1957, the Department of Philology was also created, where there were branches of foreign languages, Russian, English, French, and later Italian, Spanish, when Rudi Vata was not born, he was neither where nor at the balls of his father .
Rudi said with the ball that you have some value there, that to persecute and anti-communist you become ridiculous and unbelievable and to the ball as a football player, that as a leader and coach you have no skills.
Fodullism is the costume of ignorance.
