Daku: Victory over Serbia the biggest of my career, it would be fantastic for Albania and Kosovo to be at the World Cup

Albania will play for its chances in November, first facing Andorra away and then hosting England in Tirana, to conclude the World Cup qualifiers.

Mirlind Daku, the Red and Blacks' striker, spoke to “Panorama Sport” and said that Albania is focused only on the next match, while also describing the victory in Serbia as the most important of his career.

Five wins and two draws in the last seven matches. How do you view the national team's progress during this period?

I think the results themselves clearly show the work we are doing. We have gone through a good period, with commitment and sacrifices, and this is being reflected on the pitch. I hope we continue at the same pace in the last two matches as well, so that we can finish this cycle as well as possible and make all Albanians proud.

How did you personally experience the victory against Serbia?

For me, it is the biggest victory of my career. Taking everything into account—the circumstances, the history and everything else—I consider it the most beautiful and special victory.

Kosovo is following a path similar to Albania's. Do you think it is ready for the play-offs?

Yes, I think Kosovo fully deserves to be in contention for the play-offs. I wholeheartedly hope it makes this dream come true, because it would be a historic achievement. It would be fantastic for both Albania and Kosovo to be at a World Cup.
