Rrahmani talks about Kosovo, the World Cup, the Champions League and his difficult return from injury

After Napoli’s 2:0 victory over Qarabag last night at the “Maradona” stadium, Napoli centre-back Amir Rrahmani spoke in the mixed zone.

The Kosovo national team captain played the entire match in this Champions League fixture and admitted that returning from injury had not been easy for him, above all because of the packed match schedule, writes “Gazeta Express”.

“It was a little difficult because there are so many matches close together. Since the injury, this is the seventh match I’ve played in three weeks; it’s a lot. But we’re trying to manage the situation as well as possible because the coach has let me rest in a few matches and taken me off before the end of the game. So, to be honest, it was quite difficult, because I was out for two months and when I came back, all the matches were every three days, followed by my commitment to the national team,” Rrahmani said.

Is it easier to qualify for the Champions League or to go to the World Cup with Kosovo?

“I don’t know, we hope to do both because that’s what we play for: to go as far as possible and achieve the best results,” Rrahmani concluded.
