In the latest episode of the podcast "Arena e Yjeve", the guest was the famous Kosovar coach Tahir Lushtaku. This episode is made with the support of the official sponsor Exfis.
During the conversation, Lushtaku recalled one of the most difficult periods of Kosovar football, talking about the generation of sacrifice and the confrontations they had with the Serbian regime.
He recounted the moments when Albanian players and athletes faced inhuman beatings from Serbian police forces, but despite the pressure and violence, they continued to keep football and sports alive in Kosovo.
Another interesting story that Lushtaku shared was an unusual episode from his career as a footballer.
He told how he managed to score a goal on his wedding day, a moment he remembers as one of the most special and emotional events of his sporting and personal life.
The conversation also focused on one of the most important moments for the Drenica club, immediately after the end of the war.
Lushtaku described the emotions and pride of Drenica's inclusion in the Super League, describing it as one of the most beautiful moments for the club and for the fans of the region, at a time when Kosovar football was being revived.
In the rest of the podcast, he also spoke about the financial difficulties the club faced in those years.
Lushtaku revealed that in some cases he was forced to pay the players himself, just so that the team could continue competing and not disappear, thus showing the great sacrifice that has been made to keep football alive in Drenica.
