Shabani: Makedonija GP is traditionally an unpleasant rival for us, but Struga TL wants to start with a triumph

Struga Trim Lum, after two championship years and appearances on the European stage, was left "empty-handed" this summer, having handed over the title to Shkendija last year, and failed to make the final step in the Macedonian Cup. Changes followed, both in the coaching staff and in the playing staff, so with a refreshed and renovated image, the team from Struga hopes to return to the championship paths in the season that begins this weekend.

Bunjamin Shabani is a "local", team leader and captain, and announces that Struga Trim Lum has the capacity and quality to fight for the highest ranking in the new season.

"We have a new coach and several new players, but the ambitions and goals are the same, Struga Trim Lum is ready to fight to be at the top of the table. It will not be easy, we have maximum respect for our competitors, but we also believe in our own qualities. We will see how the season goes, and we are ready to go at full speed from the start. With new ideas in new victories," says the captain of Struga Trim Lum for the official FFM website.

At the start, Makedonija GJP, the returnee to the elite, will be visiting the lake. Shabani has maximum respect for them, especially since the "lions" are traditionally an unpleasant rival for Struga TL.

"Macedonia GP is traditionally a difficult opponent for us. We respect them absolutely, they returned to the First League, but they immediately strengthened with several quality players. We know that every start is difficult, but I believe that we will give our maximum and that with the help of the audience we will manage to win the three points," emphasizes Bunjamin Shabani.
