If there’s one objective for Skënderbeu in their first match of the season this coming Monday, it’s simply victory.
This is beyond question, as coach Ivan Gvozdenović constantly reinforces this message in every training session. In fact, during yesterday’s session, the white-and-red head coach demanded that his players increase their pace on the field and be quicker when in possession of the ball.
The coach is confident that his team has the potential to succeed on Monday, and the players share the same belief, even though they’ve kept a low profile with the media lately, preferring to speak only on the field through their performance.
President Ardjan Takaj is expected to arrive in the southeastern region soon, and with the presence of all the club’s leaders, the team’s optimism and adrenaline are sure to rise.
Although it’s known that the match against Elbasani will be challenging, even if it’s played at home, this Skënderbeu has only one goal for the first week: to start off on the right foot with the first three points.
Now it’s up to the players on the field to show that this season, Skënderbeu is no longer an underdog.
After all, in front of the Korça supporters, victory on Monday is a must.
