Piksi commented the group: "Challenging"

Our number one goal and priority is placement in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and we will do our best to be participants in the final world football tournament in the summer of 2026," Stojković said immediately. after the draw and confirmed that the English are definitely the first favorites in the group.

"We played with them at the European Championship in Germany and we did not deserve to lose. On paper, in terms of strength and quality, they are certainly the main favorites to win first place, which does not mean that we will give up in advance. They changed the coach, but the players the same ones we got to know well at the game in Gelsenkirchen. It's important to prepare well, to be complete and to welcome the decisions of the qualifiers with positive energy".

The rapper has to be the approach we had in the last two Nations League games, against Switzerland in Zurich and Denmark in Leskovac.

For Stojković, every game in the group carries a specific weight.

"A very challenging group. The Albanians have shown progress in the game lately and will certainly be a difficult opponent. I am happy that we will play in Tirana at the beautiful stadium where the final of the Conference League was also played. I am aware that the two duels will be interesting for the public for some other reasons. As far as we are concerned, there is nothing to do with football. Exclusively a sports story, a great challenge and an opportunity for two quality football performances," said Dragan Stojković.
