There are few words to describe what Kosovo Captain Dardan Berisha made in basketball at the European Prequalification Circuit for China World Cup 2019.
This was said by Kosovo's selector himself, Brad Greenberg at the press conference organized shortly after the triumph of Estonia, a victory that provided our representative with a place among the 32 nationals for the European qualifiers for the World Cup "China 2019 ".
Despite all he has done for Kosovo, Berisha again has been cautious, speaking modestly about the work he has done during this pre-qualifying cycle. In fact, he talked a lot about the work group that was made by all who were directly and indirectly involved in the Kosovo Representative.
He was strong and proud when he defeated Macedonia at home, winning this game in FIBA's official competition, but was also proud when he criticized after two consecutive losses, but never complained, and he never stopped believing in the success of this representative.
All this makes captain Berisha special, who "returns" to face Estonia and did what he does best to lead his team to historic success.
Dardan Berisha, Captain of Kosovo Representative:
"First of all, we thank the fans for the support and the confidence they have given us in the matches as local, but also as guests. I also thank the coaches, teammates, doctors, the president of the Federation, BFK staff and all those who did not stopped working and helping us achieve all this success.
This is not the least we have achieved, because we have eliminated Macedonia, which a few years ago finished fourth in the European Championship. This shows a great deal about the success we have achieved. We have also defeated Estonia, which is a respected national in European basketball.
When we round up all this, I do a great job. We've really made history because last year when we did not score any victory in qualifying for Eurobasket, we managed to score two very important victories.
I am very proud to have carried the captain's ribbon, but on the other hand this has been a great responsibility for me, but in the end everything has been paid off. "
