Albanian National Team [General topic]

[Princ]

Panorama Sport had reported that Gjasula was running with the starters in practice, alongside Ramadani and Bajrami.

Here are quotes from Sylvinho press conference clarifying some of the call ups and snubs.

Zgjedhjet..
“Sa i përket Abrashit e njohim, ka bërë shumë për Shqipërinë, por në këto ndeshje kemi bërë zgjedhje që i përshtaten kundërshtarëve. Për këtë arsye kemi marrë Gjasulën sepse është i gjatë dhe ka fizik. Mehmeti është lojtar i ri, por mendoj se zgjedhja e duhur ishte Roshi, i cili ka një avantazh që e favorizojnë centimetrat. Gjithashtu mund të bëjë diferencën kur futet në fushë.”

Kundershtaret..
“Sa i përket karakterit, luajnë shpejt dhe me intensitet. Kanë shumë fizik dhe nëse merren 1 nga 1, janë mbi 1.85 dhe janë të fortë fizikisht. Ne duhet të jemi sa më të përgatitur.”

Except for the Poland game. That will be a narrow 1-0 loss at home lol

Time to open up the Poland game thread. @Simboli do your thing dude. You're on a good streak.

Type of goal you can watch 100 times and not get tired of it. Nedim Bajrami is the real deal!
