Albion Rrahmani, Venezia's striker, has clarified that he has no blood relation to Rrahmani, the defender at SSC Napoli, and spoke about his feelings and goals since joining Venezia.

Speaking about his first few weeks at Venezia, Albion Rrahmani said: "I feel great. We're a new team, many players are young, and everyone is trying to do their best in training and matches. We'll continue like this and see what happens in the coming weeks."

How well have you adapted to coach Stroppa's playing style?

Albion Rrahmani said: "We're new to Serie A, but the coach lets us play our football. We were a bit unlucky in the first few matches, but we stuck to our game."

So far, Venezia hasn't shown their full potential. The team starts matches well but deteriorates as the game progresses. Besides scoring, what else is missing?

He said: "Yes, that's right. In our last match, we played well in the first half, but as the coach mentioned, we need to be clinical with our chances. That's football: sometimes you might play very well but fail to score in the first half, and in the second half, one goal can change the direction of the match."

This summer there was talk about you obtaining Albanian citizenship. Why did you want dual nationality?

Albion Rrahmani said: "Having an Albanian passport is great. Besides personal reasons, it also helps the club. I'm grateful to everyone who helped me complete this in such a short time. The day I received citizenship was beautiful, and I even captured that moment with some photos."

From a relegation battle perspective, how important is the match against Frosinone?

He said: "This match is very important and is one of our main objectives. Like every game, we need full focus and commitment of 100%. We're playing well right now, and we must give our best against Frosinone."

You're a forward who can play as a striker or as a second striker. Which position suits you better?

Albion Rrahmani said: "I feel best in the number 9 position, but I'll adapt to the team's needs and play wherever the coach wants me to. If I play as number 9, I'll be closer to goal. If I play deeper, I'll do my best to help the team constantly."

What kind of relationship do you have with the other forwards in the team?

He said: "Everyone has their own characteristics, and the team is very strong. We just need to continue playing like this and create many chances. The next goal is to convert those chances into goals."

How do you think training here differs from your time in the Czech Republic and other teams you've played for? From a technical, tactical, and defensive perspective, what are your thoughts on Serie A?

Albion Rrahmani said: "I trained hard in the Czech Republic too, and here there's a strong emphasis on physical and tactical work. Serie A places great importance on tactical positioning and defensive movements during matches. I'm trying to adapt to this league. It's quite challenging because the teams I face now have excellent defensive organization, and it's difficult to find space to create threats. Over the coming months, I'll continue to develop my skills and better understand this league."

Are you related by blood to Rrahmani, the defender at SSC Napoli, who shares your surname?

He answered: "I've played alongside him for the national team, and he's also a captain and one of my best friends. We stay in touch regularly, and I know he's worked very hard in Italy and is a diligent worker. However, we have no blood relation. (laughs — editor's note)"

You have an impressive record in your home country, winning two league titles with your club and being the top scorer. Then at Rapid Bucharest, you averaged one goal every two matches, and at Sparta Prague, you averaged one goal every three matches while nearly winning the league title. You've also played in the Champions League and Europa Conference League with many goals, and your national team performances have been outstanding as well. What does coming to Italy and Venezia mean to you personally? What are your expectations and personal goals for this season?

Albion Rrahmani said: "It's always been my dream to play in one of Europe's top five leagues. That's why I decided to come here. Coming to Italy is an opportunity for me to showcase my abilities and style of play. I'll try to score and assist to help Venezia achieve the team's objectives this season. Moreover, I'll continue to do my best and advance my career as I have in the past."

Do you have any role models you admire?

He answered: "I grew up influenced by many great players and athletes. However, I'd like to mention my father most of all, who was also a footballer. I trained with him frequently when I was young, and we always talked about football. If I had to choose a player from the top leagues, I'd choose Cristiano Ronaldo. In my opinion, he's an example of discipline and hard work, and bringing these qualities to football ultimately leads to results and success."
