"More well-known players"
Former U21 team professional Demaku to play for Kosovo in future
The former 15-times U21 Austrian national team player Vesel Demaku would like to play for the Kosovo national team in the future. The 24-year-old dual national, who plays for Bundesliga club SCR Altach, announced his decision some time ago and explained it as a personal decision at a press conference in Altach on Thursday.
"The reason is easy to understand for anyone who grows up with a second nationality. You always have two nationalities that beat in your heart," said Demaku. He did not do this because he thought he would have more chances in the Kosovo team.
"I have to work my way in there too and if I'm good enough, I'll be called up." He sees "just as much competition in the Kosovo squad, if not even more well-known players". The national team has moved up to 99th place in the current FIFA rankings.
