Arbnor Aliu is certainly one of Llap’s bright points in this edition, noting his performance despite the team’s poor results.
The 23-year-old defender is proving stability and high level at each match, while this season is contributing to the offensive phase with goals and assimilations.
Aliu has been part of Germany’s representatives from U15 to U18, before deciding to represent Kosovo at the U21 level. His career also played for clubs like Schalke 04, Holstein Kiel and Hansa Rostock, while Llap is from the summer of 2025.
In an interview for Telegrafi, Aliu spoke of his experience at the club from Podujevo, the decision to return to Kosovo football, representation of Kosovo, personal form and team, as well as targets for the rest of the season.
I’m so happy at Llapy.
Aliu says he has felt well since the first day at Llapi, praising the reception and support he received from the club, fellow players and coach Tahir Batatina.
I feel very good about myself, and I’m so happy to be part of Llap, because from the first day, I’ve been very well received by the club and my companions. One important role was to coach Tahir Batatina, who has trusted me and given me the opportunity, Aliu has declared.
The defender shows that the decision to come to Kosovo was a personal choice, through which it aimed at a change in his career.
Personally, I wanted a career change. I’ve seen the level of the Kosovo Superleague too high. So I have not repented, for after about a year and a half, I am very happy and satisfied with my achievements, he said.
It is a very special feeling to represent Kosovo
Aliu has been part of several German age groups, but eventually decided to represent Kosovo at the U21 level. He describes this decision as a matter of heart choice.
It’s a very special feeling. It has been a decision I have made with my heart. I hope that in the future I will be able to represent my country, because I believe it is a dream for every footballer to represent his country, he has declared the defender.
Goals and Asstitations, but Protection Remains a Priority
Although playing in the defensive department, Aliu this season has contributed to the offensive phase, marking two goals and providing an assistation. However, he stresses that for him the team’s success is most important.
I’m happy to be able to help the team with goals or assistics, but to me, the team’s successes are the most important. I’m a little attracted to the offensive because I play in the middle. But, as the quarterback, my focus is the defensive phase, Ali stressed.
The laptop has not had the expected results in this edition and has actually collected only five points. The defender, however, believes the team has the potential to change the situation.
Of course, as a team we’ve expected better results, because I believe we have a lot of quality and potential. I think we’ll get better results, because the club and the players deserve better. As for my personal form, I am very pleased with the progress I am making. But as a team and individually, I think we can give more, he said.
Our objective is to qualify in Europe
Despite current results, Ali believes that Llap can achieve more during this season. He sees the qualifications in European races as the team’s main goal.
I think Llap has potential for much more than the results we have now. Our goal is to qualify in Europe. I believe very much in the potential we have and I think that we can achieve this objective, the defender has expressed himself.
As for his future, Aliu says he intends to hold a good season and does not hide his desire to take an important step in career through a transfer outside Kosovo.
My main goal is to have a good season. Normally, like any football player, I have the goal of getting as high as possible. I hope I can make a move abroad, Ali has declared.
In the end, 23-year-old has thanked coach Tahir Batatina and Llap staff for their support, especially in a difficult period before his arrival in Kosovo.
In conclusion, I would thank Coach Tahir Batatina and the Lap staff, who at a bad stage before my arrival in Kosovo have supported me and trusted me to the fullest, has ended Aliu. /Telegraphy/
