Broja : "Manaj is a striker who likes to score a lot of goals, I am a striker too, and I like that, however I think I can also play on both wings, give assists and create chances. Even when I was at Chelsea's academy, they used to give me the freedom to play everywhere in attack, as Sylvinho did today, to create confusion in the opposition's defense.
Manaj : I am happy for the goals and for all the players, Broja and Uzuni specifically. I understand Asllani on the pitch very well and we have a good connection. I'm really happy for Broja's return and I hope he scores as many goals as possible, there is no room for rivalry either at club or national team level.
Asllani: Shehu is a very technical footballer. I found him very good. We play almost the same, ahead of the defense.
Shehu : I was surprised and really happy when Sylvinho told me I was playing today, because I didn't know before. This national team break is the first contact I had with Sylvinho. Because it was my first game, I tried to play more simply and securely, but not for a lack of confidence.
Hoxha : I'm happy I was able to enter and give an assist. At my club, things are going well, sometimes up and sometimes down, but that is football. However, I want to play in another league next season to be able to show my quality.
Sylvinho : "The choices of players vary game by game. Maybe in one game we could make 4 or 5 substitutions. I genuinely believe that when you do that, it changes the game entirely.
They had a very good low block. I want to compliment Shehu who played a good and balanced match. In 1v1 situations on the wing, Broja is very strong. We will see what changes we make, Broja can adapt himself very well, as he has done before. With Hoxha on the other side, this was a lineup capable of unlocking the match.
*Question from journalist* (Can we see Broja used in this role against stronger teams?)
We have seen (already) that he has played this position very well in the past. You have to use the players' characteristics, and he is very strong, he can enter the box easily because he is very strong. It depends on the opponent, he can adapt to any role, he has strength, technique, and goalscoring ability. It also depends on the balance of the team. We balanced the team well at the defensive level in England, and he played 30 very good minutes.
Shehu opened up the game well, and he helped the team advance the ball."
