Dinamo achieves a stunning victory against Vllaznia! Tomorrow: Tirana vs. Skënderbeu!

Dinamo has defeated Vllaznia 2-1 at ‘Elbasan Arena.’

Although Vllaznia ended the first half of the match, valid for the 7th week of the Superiore, with an advantage, the Dinamo players turned everything around in the second half.

The turning point came after Vllaznia’s Sala was shown a red card, who was also the scorer for the Shkodrans in the first half. Dinamo initially equalized with Itodo Mandela in the 79th minute, with VAR intervening after the assistant referee initially flagged an offside. Then, Bregu turned it into drama, scoring for Dinamo in the final seconds of the match to make it 2-1.

Will Doka play tomorrow against Tirana from the first minute?! Here’s what the coach of the white and red bench says

Albi Doka is a footballer who knows Tirana very well, as he has been part of the team. He has only joined the Korçë side a few weeks ago, and it seems he has not yet reached his full physical form.

When asked directly by journalists if Doka would be on the field as a starter, coach Gvozdenović stated: ‘Doka knows the opponent well, but he is not currently ready to play from the first minute.’

It is clear that Gvozdenović will not have Doka on the field from the start in this match, but considering his qualities, he will be a valuable asset in the coming weeks. The championship is just beginning, and there is a long way to go.”

A recurring phenomenon with foreigners…

In the Albanian championship, foreigners, particularly from poorer countries, are flooding in. Many players arrive without a clear history of where they’ve played, their previous engagements, or their current health status.

Managers often try to place them wherever they can, even in lower divisions, hoping they can move up a level. The concern about their age is indeed troubling. While they claim to be 18 or 19, verification often shows they are older and sometimes possess irregular documentation.

Although there is now a control system in place, issues still arise in their countries of origin, and with so many names, they have the opportunity to “hide”.

Gvozdenović this time with pen in hand; here’s the decision…

Korça’s coach Ivan Gvozdenović, along with his team, has wrapped up another training session, just three days ahead of the next match. Observing the training sessions over the past few days, it has been somewhat difficult to determine the lineup for this game.

While a significant percentage of the formation is known, there are still many uncertainties from the coach’s side. He will assess until the last moment who is in the best shape and what tactics will be employed.

There are also expected changes in both the defense and midfield. The extent of these changes remains to be seen, but it is certain that adjustments will be made. Ultimately, the final decision will be communicated to the players on Sunday.

Here’s what the white and red fans wish for their opponent…

Skënderbeu will face Tirana, a rival yet to taste victory, having only drawn matches. Korça fans seem to be seizing this moment for Tirana.

In many comments on ‘Korça Boom,’ there’s a unified expression: ‘Tirana will suffer its first loss now.’ While Tirana aims for its first win, the Korçars are responding with thoughts of handing them that first defeat.

It will be a match where both teams are playing solely for the three points, as that’s what matters. Nevertheless, all three outcomes are possible on the field, and we’ll have to wait for match day to learn the result.

Devolli pulls the ‘ear’ of the foreigners, a reaction is expected

Devolli team earned a draw in the first week against Turbina, a match that should have been a victory.

It seems that the foreign players were the ones who fell short, as they squandered numerous opportunities and didn’t meet the expectations of coach Trifon Meraku.

In recent days, president Spartak Meraku has been quite demanding of them, naturally urging them to reflect before the next match. The situation is quite different for the other players, who delivered a strong performance, which is very positive.

SKËNDERBEU/ The chances of elimination are increasing for the white and red team…

Due to individual errors in defense, the white and red team has been deprived of points, a fact acknowledged by both the staff and specialists. Gvozdenovic has made changes by giving the starting position to Lucho Vasques.

However, the possibilities are increasing, especially with the recent arrival of Randi Dumfor. He will compete with Doka, Zenullari, Shaqe, Ramos, as well as Vangjeli, Prençi, and Gerco. So, it remains to be seen if four of these defenders can make a difference.

In fact, Prençi has been flawless so far, but with the increasing competition and the newcomers finding their form, it is believed that this defense will soon become impenetrable. There is hope that this weekend will clearly showcase that improvement.
