Talking about their past experience in the game, Jim Citti said that they have learned a lot in the games against Italy or other strong teams.

Gimcitti also revealed that in the club, people often joke and discuss who will win the match, but this time, facing Croatia, they realize that the two teams have never had a record of meeting each other, which makes the upcoming match even more unknown and challenging. He expressed his anticipation for the match, saying that it will be a special day and a good opportunity to show the strength of Albanian soccer.
Finally, Jimmie Sitti expressed his excitement for the upcoming game, and he looks forward to working side by side with his teammates in this new challenge.
