Hamza also acknowledged Tikvesh's recent form but insisted his side will give everything to secure points. “We definitely respect Tikvesh a lot and we know they have a strong team, especially after the win over Shkendija, but we have our own qualities and strength. We will give our maximum from the first minute to the end to seek the first away victory,” he added, before stressing his personal ambitions.

“I always try to give my maximum for the team; if I have an opportunity to score, of course that would be great, but the most important thing is that we as a team get the desired result. I hope the first goal of the season will come as soon as possible, and why not in today's match against Tikvesh,” Hamza concluded, expressing his readiness to open his account in the championship.
