Albanian National Team [General topic]

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

We shouldn't even bother being offensive. We don't have any quality in the final third or any wingers/midfield that can be creative. Our best chance is to bunker and score on quick counters and fluke goals. We just need to start some pace merchants with decent dribbling on the wings like Roshi and Lenjani.

I disagree. That style of play is not a long term solution. Look at Greece. The only team that has pulled it off for a long time is Atletico, but they have some good gameplans in attack, and good attacking players.

There is a middle ground between anti-football and tiki taka. We can't play at a 10, but being stuck at 0 is counterproductive against medium teams. We should be aiming to be at least like a 4-5.

Why there is no more specific thread for each NT game?

^ Kace is playing instead of Lila and Veseli over Ajeti.

It's a good lineup. Maybe a bit soft centrally with Basha-Memusha-Kace but they should be able to string passes at least. Grezda and Roshi have the pace. Can't complain no matter the result.

Proud to see all those Albanians cheering for the motherland.

Them cheering for Albania is nice too I guess.
