The president of the Albanian Football Association, Armand Duka , at a press statement after the match Albania – Spain , declared that the Albanian team played well, but the rival was excellent. According to him, the Spanish team had a good day , and in these occasions the three possible results are part of football. ‘’In football you have to accept defeat. I think that the team played well , but the opponent was the best that I have ever seen in the field of play. A win against Spain? Honestly, I wished it , but I couldn’t believe that we could win. Spain was really well prepared physically and technically’’- declared the President of the AFA Duka , underlining that, now the team and the staff should be focused on the forthcoming match against Israel. ‘’If we had played in offence, we could have ended up like Kosovo with Croatia. Spain is composed of professionals, and you cannot always win. They are team that do not give you this kind of opportunity. Now we have the next match against Israel and our focus should be on this. This will be our opportunity, not the one we played today’’, ended his declaration President Duka.
