"The match with San Marino depends on how we approach it. They are a much weaker rival than us. But things need to be shown on the field. We will enter the field to close the match directly". A desire expressed by Rei Manaj on the eve of the last challenge of October in the Nation League. The red and black striker, who reached the quota of 13 goals, hopes to break Erion Bogdani's record and the modest opponent can be a great help: "The desire would be great to break it in these matches, but the main thing for me is for the team to get the 3 points. It doesn't matter who scores for me. Now let's see. Recently I scored 5 goals in Albania, before..., injuries, we weren't even stable".
But Manaj, before thinking about the goal, wants to be careful, recalling the match with Andorra in the press conference: "The more goals we score, the happier we will be. We have to enter the pitch strong, to unlock the match from the beginning. Let's not forget the match against Andorra. Even though they were a weaker rival than us, we only scored a goal in the 80th minute. The main thing is to attack hard in the first 20 minutes. Then we want to score as many goals as possible, compared to how many other teams have scored against San Marino."
Finally, an assessment for the coach Rolando Maran, who in a short time has managed to gain the trust of his players: "I believe that the coach has little time, but with clear ideas. Every time that passes is better for us. We hope to be 100% for the European qualifiers - said Manaj, also giving an opinion on which of the players he feels comfortable with on the field -. The group is very good. We have improved a lot. The coach wants the best for the team. Before things get personal. I am happy to play with any type of player in attack".
