International career

edit

Albania

edit

Berisha was expected to be called up by the Albania national team after his good performances with Schaffhausen, but due to the rupture of the ligaments of his right knee, he lost the chance to be called up from Albania, but also to be transferred to Swiss club Grasshoppers.[1]

Kosovo

edit

On 22 January 2018, Berisha received a call-up from Kosovo for the friendly match against Azerbaijan.[2] However, the match was cancelled and therefore he was unable to make his debut.[3]

Kalimi në Grasshopper dhe ftesa nga kombëtarja shqiptare, e gjithë kjo falë formës fenomenale. Por, fati s'ishte me mua. M'u përsërit lëndimi që e kisha pasur edhe më herët, por tani më rëndë. I këputa ligamentet e gjurit të djathtë, me ç'rast humba gjithçka, si transferimin te skuadra e madhe nga Cyrihu, e poashtu nuk u ftova as nga Shqipëria, që më rrëzoi gjithçka për toke, pasi e kisha ëndërr përfaqësimin me "kuq e zinjtë"
