From Sportweek the words of the Giallorossi defender born in Italy of Albanian parents: “I want to be a reference for the many compatriots who live here and become a pillar of this team, helping it to win”
You can see the pride of feeling Albanian in his eyes when Anila Bitri, the Albanian ambassador to Italy, tells him about the thirty years of the first landings in Italy, over twenty thousand Albanians on the coasts of Puglia, between Bari and Brindisi. It was March 7, 1991. Five years later his father, Lin, also arrived in Italy on a rubber dinghy, challenging the sea wall to give a different future to the family. Perhaps it is also for this reason that Marash Kumbulla feels the duty to do everything for his Albania.
