"Better to insult my mother than to sing "Serbia, Serbia"" - Llullaku explains to the Romanian media why the Kosovo players decided to leave

Azdren Llullaku, the former top scorer of the Romanian Super League in the 2016/17 season, commented on the events in the match Romania - Kosovo, which was stopped in extra time when the score was 0-0.

In extra time, the captain of Kosovo, Amir Rrahmani, called on his teammates to leave the field, after anti-Kosovo chants coming from the stands.

Llullaku explained about Fanatik.ro  the reasons why our team decided to leave the field without returning from the dressing room.

Currently, the striker who plays in Romania at the Gloria Bistrița club, has shown that the Kosovo players do not care at all about the result of the match.

The footballer who came to Romania for the first time in 2012, in Gaz Metan Mediaș, has explained how difficult it is for a Kosovar footballer to listen to calls related to Serbia.

Llullaku even confessed to the Romanians that he suffered a lot from this conflict. His house was burned, barely escaping the war.

"I am sure that they would have left the field even if it was 3-0 for Kosovo! I watched the match on TV. I'm sorry it happened like this. As far as I know, the players were determined to leave the field at the first calls of the Romanian fans, regarding the name of Serbia".

"I am 100% convinced that they did not do this to get the three points from the UEFA commissions. It's just too much pain. You understand that we Kosovars have gone through the war. We have family members who died in the war. I ran away from there, I saw everything."

"It is a wound that has not been closed, it will not be forgotten. Believe me, when you hear the call "Serbia, Serbia" it is very, very painful. And to prevent it from happening again, they made this decision to leave the field", declared Llullaku.

Furthermore, he also gave examples of how people in Kosovo feel when such calls are heard in a stadium.

"As far as I heard Amir Rrahman, he said that the whole stadium was shouting 'Serbia! Serbia!". If four or five screamed, it wouldn't be a problem. But when a whole stadium sings, it's not right."

"For us Kosovans, this cheering is very painful. I'd rather curse my mother, if you will.

I am giving an example to understand what we feel when something like this is sung. If in the match with Palestine they shout "Israel! Israel!', how do you think the Palestinian players feel, when they have thousands of dead children, bombed houses? I'm telling you that it's painful, because I've been through it."

"Personally, when I fled the war, my house burned down. We were bombarded from behind, right and left, we found a way, to run through the mountains, straight to Montenegro. You only saw disasters, burning houses, dead people. It is very difficult for some to understand, because fortunately they did not go through the war", underlined Llullaku.

Further, the striker who comes from Istog, stated that the Kosovo players were not interested in the result of the match and they would do the same even if they were winning.

"No one will believe me, I'm sure, but I put my hand in the fire, because I know the mentality of the Kosovar people. I repeat, it was not about leaving the field for three points on the "table". That's how they thought they should react", concluded Llullaku.

Finally, he underlined that he knows that Romania will get the three points, but he does not believe that Kosovo will be excluded from the competition organized by UEFA and FIFA. /Telegraph/
